Become Debt Free

So, we did it.  Taris and I managed to pay off all of our debt and I can't tell you how exciting that is to me.  What a weight that has been lifted off of our shoulders.  Now, if we could just get right side up on this house in Florida!

Rock Your Camera


I am proud to say that I have taken two!  They were both from Clickin Moms...and I loved them!  If any of you are interested in learning how to get out of automatic and jump into manual, this site is the place for you.  I learned SO much...the exposure triangle, focal points and finding your sweet spot, creating that magical bokeh, the rule of thirds, and the all important grey card and custom white balance.  I find myself excited to take pictures and plan out the shot, instead of just "hoping" I got the look I was trying for.

Stop Drinking Soda for 30 days

I decided that if I was going to do this diet thing right, I had to stop with the soda!  So I stopped...cold turkey.  I am happy to say that I have made it way past 30 days.  I did break down and have a soda today, but I don't think one soda a month (compared to one...at minimum...per day) will kill me.  Woohoo!  Another goal down.

What 101 goals in 1001 days is all about

The Challenge:
Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.
The Criteria:
Tasks must be specific (ie. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (ie. represent some amount of work on your part).
Why 1001 Days?
Many people have created lists in the past - frequently simple challenges such as New Year's resolutions or a 'Bucket List'. The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic. 1001 Days (about 2.75 years) is a better period of time than a year, because it allows you several seasons to complete the tasks, which is better for organising and timing some tasks such as overseas trips, study semesters, or outdoor activities.
