One of my really bad habits is that I start stuff and then never finish it. I don't do this with all things, if I did, I wouldn't have a job etc. However, sometimes I do this with hard stuff or with boring things.
I was cleaning off my documents from my old laptop today. It has been running like crud for a long time but now my DH uses it as a bonus computer and he was complaining so I thought I would see just how much junk I had on it that wasn't needed. Quite a bit actually and I sent myself some of the photos I had stored on it. As I was going through the files I came across my 101 things in 1000 days list that I started. The finish date is November 10, 2008 if that gives you an idea of how old it is.
Here is the list I started. Bolded items have been completed actually.
101 things to complete by November 10, 2008

I wonder how many of these will stay unfinished.

What an interesting idea! Although I'm sure that if I made one up, it would sit unfinished for the most part as well. :-/
Want me to invite you down for a play and then we can get indian food afterwards? :D
What I need is a more short-term to-do list that involves housework and exercise...
