updates-moving right along

I've been slowly trying to keep doing things on my list.

In progress:

11. work backstage on at least 2 plays (0/2) Tonight was my first night working backstage for a production. I am stage/floor manager for my school (AASU) production of New Voices. It's basically a short show with student compositions of monologues and short skits about some serious life issues and some fun trivial everyday things.

16. read 101 books (2/101) [list books somewhere]I'm re reading book 5 in The Bloody Jack series by L.A. Meyer. That will be book 3 after the two Golden Compass books I read.

19. Listen to a whole audio book I've been trying to listen to Fellowship of the Ring at night but I keep falling asleep. :P

22. Send 50 people cards/postcards (12/50) I've been using http://www.sendsomething.net/ and http://www.postcardx.net/ and my 2 penpals. I'm always open to new pen pals as well if that is on someone elses list.

65. continue participating in the Girl ScoutsThis Friday I went back home to help out with my service unit's Princess/pampering themed sleepoever. It was a bunch of fun and the girls loved the dress I wore. (It was one of my mom's old bridesmaids gowns.)

Recently Completed:
81. buy a real corset (1-10-08 on http://www.ebay.com/ )It got here today and it seems to fit pretty good. I'm really happy with it. I bought it on eBay for only $25.

Changed:
31. go to at least 3 yoga/fitness classes (0/3)I had to change this to yoga or fitness because this semester I had a 6:30pm class that was moved up to 4:30 and yoga is only offered at 4. Hopefully next semester I will be able to check a class out.I seem to be moving right along-slowly yet surely. I just have to keep reminding myself that it's 1001 days and there is no rush to do everything at once.

in progress report

16. read 101 books (2/101)
1) The Golden Compass by Philip Pulliman
2) The Subtle Knife by Philip Pullman

Just finished The Subtle Knife today, but I have't got the last book of the series so I have to wait and start on a different book even though the cliffhanger ending is killing me!

22. Send 50 people cards/postcards (4/50)
Sent letters to some people whose addresses I had saved on Microsoft Word the day I came bacck to college and my internet was down. and today I sent a reply to my Harry Potter pen pal.

23. Send 15 more postcards on www.postcrossing.com (2/15)
Sent a postcard to a girl in Finland and another to a girl in Germany.

50. make an inspiration book for when I am feeling down. Fill it with pictures I love, uplifting quotes, emails, my art, ect.

I haven't actually started putting it together but I've been saving my favorite quotes and emails I come across and planning how I want to organize it.

68. sort through laptop and clean out bookmarked websites
Started yesterday, but this will be an ongoing process because I will come across a website and save it to look at the next day, but then forget it until 3 monthes later.

81. buy a real corset
Just bought a (hopefully) good one from someone in Hong Kong. It's an steal overbust that's black and has lace on the edges. When it gets here I will cross it off my list!

So I'm doing pretty good it seems. I wish everyone else out there luck with thier lists! Hugs!

Starting day for me: Jan. 1,2008

Finishing day: Sept. 28,2010

I've already crossed out 1 thing from my list,#83. buy something from www.etsy.com I bought 2 pins on new years day.


Right now I'm working on 81.buy a real corset (I think I found one on eBay), 22.send 50 people cards/postcards. I've bookmarked some addresses from www.postcardx.com and www.sendsomething.net that I will try to get some cards out to after I get reorganized at college.

The world is quiet here. Au revior ma amis.

1st post

Hello all. I thought I should introduce myself a bit. I'm Mandy or in the unlikely option that you've seen me elsewhere on the web I'm usually still Tonks07 after one of my favorite characters in Harry Potter (though I didn't like her as much in book 7) and the year I graduated. I'm now going to college in Savannah,Ga at Armstrong Atlantic State University as a Theatre major. Techie, I'm no actor. Some more links if you want to see some more about me
