tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210283735712940382011-11-30T09:15:31.972-07:00The Mission: Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days. The Criteria: Tasks must be specific (ie. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (ie. represent some amount of work on my part).Sarah Annenoreply@blogger.comBlogger31100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-121028373571294038.post-33830319182688964872008-06-01T19:03:00.002-06:002008-06-01T19:09:22.854-06:00I am apparently an airhead (or pregnant!), because I completely spaced that shortly after documenting all of my goals, Kris and I decided to bite the bullet and buy a new computer!!<br /><br />We went the refurbished route--so far Apple has never failed me on this. So we got lots of wonderful computer with the Apple warranty at about 20% off. Hooray!<br /><br />Did I mention that it's *beautiful*...?<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://a248.e.akamai.net/7/248/2041/1429/store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/imac_20_125_070807.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://a248.e.akamai.net/7/248/2041/1429/store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/imac_20_125_070807.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/121028373571294038-3383031918268896487?l=sk101goals.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sarah Annenoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-121028373571294038.post-49372667056150627852008-06-01T10:00:00.004-06:002008-06-01T10:08:19.297-06:00Today is day one of one-thousand and one, so I started off by making my first offer on FreeCycle.<br /><br />We are moving from Murray to Springville and I am giving my couch away to any lucky person who wants it! I hope that I'll get a response, since I have until the end of June to get everything cleared out. If I don't get anyone's attention on FreeCycle, I'll be donating it to DI, which helps chip away at my goal (#92) of donating 101 things to DI.<br /><br />Yay for me, though (hee hee)! My first goal is in process...or attempt anyway! :D<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'
