Day Zero Project: Week 7-8 Update

Instead of daily posts, I thought it would be a lot easier for me and you if I did weekly update posts.  These will track my progress each week.  I will highlight what I’ve done, what I want to do, and any interesting tidbits.  Sometimes I’ll add pictures and/or links.  Hopefully these posts will keep me accountable to me list…

What I Did

22. Keep a journal for this project — Obviously an ongoing goal. I got a beautiful black soft cover journal to use.  I am determined to journal at least a bit each day.

19. Blog 1001 times —  15 posts for the last two weeks (99/1001)

32. Read my height in books — This week’s height:  2 in   (21.5/68 in.)

31. Finish 30 reading challenges  (5/30)

15. See 101 new movies (2/101)

  • Attack the Block -- awesome British film involving kids from the projects and an alien invasion.  A must see!  And Nick Frost has a small part!

20. Complete NaNoWriMo -- still working on it

33. Bookcross 20 books -- I sent out 10 books toward my goal (10/20)

37. Pass 250,000 pages read for my 1,000,000 pages challenge -- At the end of October, I passed the 50,000 pages mark.  I am officially 1/5 of the way done!  (50,789/250,000)

55. Try 30 new recipes (5/30)

  • Roasted Chicken, Leeks, and Apples -- not the greatest, but I might try it again to tweak

66. Save $5 for every task completed ($20)

72. Complete “50 Questions that Free Your Mind” (10/50) -- Questions #6-10

82. Make a wish at 11:11 on November 11, 2011 -- I would tell you what i wished, but then it wouldn't come true!

What I Plan to Do Next Week

More of the same.  Plus I want to start on my homemade Christmas cards and inspiration quotes. (reposted — I never got around to this last week, so I’m going to try again, again.  I feel like I'm repeating, but everything got so crazy these past weeks, I didn't get much else down.)

Monthly Goal

Still trying to pound out some chapters for NaNoWriMo.  I feel like I'm failing, but I keep at it a bit at a time.

Overall Progress

4 / 101
