A few years back, I decided that I would sign up to do 101 things in 1001 days. I think I was supposed to have completed all those items by July 2008. It’s August 2008 now, and I know very well that I didn’t complete all 101 tasks. Wow, what a major failure I turned out to be. I think my problem was that I didn’t set realistic tasks for myself. I completed a bunch, but there were so many that I realistically probably wouldn’t have gotten through by this time even if I had not stopped keeping count.

One of the blogs that I came across while working on these 101 tasks was that of Melanie Orndorff. So I was surfing on the web today and came across it again. Looks like she’s almost ready to start another list. August 24th. That’s in two days! She didn’t complete EVERYTHING on the list, but she’s got a lot of it crossed off. Very impressive. I think that I should really get that list going again. It’ll probably kick my butt into gear or NOT. It’ll likely be as effective as the previous list and the resolutions I set each year.

Anyway, aside from finding her list again, I noticed that she started a blog about Going Girly. That is, going girly for the non-girly. That’s totally me! I’m always whining about not knowing anything about make-up. So I’ll definitely be checking out, possibly commenting over there, and maybe even doing a little experimenting over here as well…
