I want to do this to show Sara how much she means to me. I can't disclose what happens to meet the requirement for this one, but I'll cross it off when I'm done with it.
This is an idea I have of having sex standing up. I want to try it. I'm not all that strong honestly and we're so far apart in height the only way to do it is to be able to hold her myself it seems. To accomplish this we have to have had sex standing up. Though being against a wall is ok.
This one is about helping sara get her list done. I can't get this item done until Sara is done with her list. As she gets her items accomplished I will ad to the tally.
To complete this task I have to have another list of 101 things to do in the next 1001 days done by the time I finish this list. Also any items I don't accomplish on this list have to go onto that list in a mandatory way. I want to do everything here. Just I know that not everything could be done for sure in under 3 years.
This is about frugality. I want to find fun and interesting things to do with my girl. To accomplish this I can spend money on transportation if it's not far from something else we're doing, or within about 10 miles from where we are anyway if driving, I can't spend any money in the act itself or buying things just for the one thing. and it has to last at least about 2 and half to three hours.
This is again self explained, It doesn't matter where she needs to be after college, I need to be with her. I want to be with her. This is hopefully an easy thing to get done.
I want to visit new places, see new things. Learn something in person if possible. To accomplish this task I need to find 10 new museums I haven't been to before. It can be anything.
1. Mark Twain Museum (8/9/09)
To accomplish this I need to find 50 books to read for fun. I will add them to the list with the date completed as they come.
This is about a mixture of new horizons and frugality. I don't need to buy every book I read. I can borrow as well. Also the idea of borrowing (probably mostly from Sara) will open up new kinds of books to me.
This is about keeping my wallet in check and only buying things I need or really want. I will have an extra 2 weeks from the end of this list to finish my last book. Assuming I buy it within the last few days.
Taking the CLEPS is about helping me finish my goal of an Associates Degree and starting the Bachelor. If you don't know CLEPS are from the SAT people and most colleges take them for credit, just like AP tests. Since i never got to take any AP tests, this is the next best thing. I've passed 2 already and if I take another 3 that's another semester early I can finish. I think there are 4 more that would actually help me but I'm assuming I won't take the last for some reason or another possibly.
This is all about showing my own efforts. The requirement for this is to finish my associates with at least a 3.5 GPA. I currently hold a 4.0 but realistically keeping that isn't particularly reasonable. Also if I have two semesters of my BA done I want to have at least a 3.5 GPA. Though I'll forgive myself if its lower after the first semester.
The requirement for this one is to have my first semester towards my BA started by the time this list is to be completed. I might take off a semester or something between the end of my associates and the start of my BA, but I have to have started the first semester of it by the time this all starts.
I want my associates degree. The requirement for this one is to get my associates, again self explained.
I don't think I've ever seen the falls. I know people used to honeymoon there it was considered so beautiful it was the place to go. I figure I need to see it at least once in my life.
A vacation will count as not just a visit but actually going to a destination. The first of these will be my trip to the dells while in Wisconsin. Who I send it to isn't really important. I might send them to myself. I don't rightly know. That's hardly the point. Maybe I'll combine this one with the post secret one.
I used to live in New Hampshire, We get some leaves changing down this far south, but I want to go to Vermont. This also will help Sara visit a new state so yay.
I've been there once, it's huge. I want to go again. I'm not sure if I'll go this trip out west but I want to go again either next summer or the summer after on a bit of a road trip. To qualify this one I need to not only go there but spend some time there. Though how much isn't really the key. Probably a full day will be likely though.
I need this one to travel to another country. It seems like a hassle but I need to do it. I want to see the world, well sort of. Again the requirement for this is obvious.
I want to see 10 places from weird US. To complete this all I have to do is list the 10 I've been to while this list goes on. I need to borrow the book from Sara to get this one done.
This one goes with my trip to Vermont one actually. I want to go to vermont in october, AND visit the B&J's HQ while I'm there. The requirement is already obvious.
I have a fear of flying. I have only taken two flights in my life, both on the same trip. I have to take a flight somewhere, anywhere to win this one.
I have one road trip planned for just next week, that one won't be counting for this. To count as a road trip I have to drive or ride at least 5 hours a day for at least 3 days during the trip (15 hours minimal driving over 3 days).
I always wanted to go to Disney world as a kid. I'm an adult now. This is one I'm not so sure I will end up getting, but I have to think about it and try.
The 4 corners is the point in the US where you can stand in 4 states at once. this will put me well on my way to 15 new states and should be a good time. From my understanding it's actually like a mile off from where the real 4 corners is, but I'm going to count it as all 4 states anyway.
I don't have much family, this one is all about paying the little that I have a visit. That's the only rule, they have to be related, and I have to visit them. I haven't gone to see any family since I was a kid.
I want to get married in vegas, I don't have to go there to get married, but it'd be nice to check out the city for a day. I can do this either on a road trip or flying out for a weekend or something.
This one is about seeing more of our beautiful country. I can drive through or fly to any of them. It doesn't however count if I fly OVER them.
1. Funny People (8/1)
2. UP (8/1)
3. The Proposal (8/1)
4. The Hangover (8/1)
I've never been outside the U.S. so this one is semi-important to me. Canada does count but I plan on visiting something more exotic possibly. The only requirement for this is to travel over foreign soil that isn't an embassy.
This is something I've always wanted to do. I plan on trying to do one on the west coast maybe. Maybe the Caribbean. I'm not really sure at this point. The requirement for this one is to spend a night aboard ship. Single day cruises do not count.
This is kind of a weird one, the idea here is to visit 2 capitals of states or countries that I haven't been to. The requirement here is to stand in front of the capital building (Not just drive through). This is one I plan on taking pictures of.
This is something I want to do eventually and why not try to do it when I'm young? I'm hoping to eventually do a road trip in the west for like 10 days so hopefully this will be covered there. The requirement is to take a picture in front of it.
So I finished this the first day of my list, without getting a chance to really make a post about it, But I wanted to do it for the sake of nostalgia. People used to do this all the time, I wanted to have that memory of Americana, before it was to late. Drive in movies are dying out slowly.
