101 in 1001 - 1 Year In

Before I get into the progress, or lack thereof, that I'm making on my 3rd 101 in 1001, I'm linking up with Meg & Macy for the Stepping Into Summer swap that they put together.  I was paired up with Kim.  The pair of sandals & polish that she sent me were absolutely perfect.  Not only is Independence Day right around the corner, but my love of America is no secret.  As soon as I opened what she sent me I knew right away that I would be pairing both of them with the American flag dress I purchased about a month ago.  Thanks again Kim!  I love them!

Over half of my goals that haven't even been started, & then when you add in the ones I have started but not finished, it's most of my list.  Because of this.  I need to look at this more often.  So, starting next month, I'm going to break them down into goals to be worked on/completed within 3 month periods (Jul-Sep, Oct-Dec, etc.)  I also need to look at some of the not yet started & decide if I even really care to do it anymore.

  1. I love those sandals!! It's so awesome that they match your blog perfectly :) If you are every looking for a 101 in 1001 link-up, I host them every three months, and the next check-in is in August (http://totravelandbeyond.com/tag/101-in-1001/) It's amazing how much debt you are in process to pay off!

  3. I went and changed 3 of my goals, I think it is. I just didn't want to do those any more, so I put in 3 new ones! My list, I do what I want :)
    You've made progress and I think that's what matters. Especially on the big ones like debt and savings, that is very cool!

  5. I think it's great that you even have 11 done for your 101!! I'm usually good at seasonal bucket lists, but I want to create a longer timeline for a goal list like this :) Thanks so much for participating in the swap, too. I love the sandals you received.
