The promised total update of: My 101 things to do in 1001 days. Do-date: 3 january 2012

LEARN:
5. Play some kind of a Gypsy/Klezmer instrument: guitar/ accordion/ violin/ sax. Decided on guitar.. asked my niece to teach me :) I also found someone in Enschede who teaches accordion. Problem now is that i think it might be w-a-y to hard.
7. Hook (?) and make something usefull with it. Might be getting to do that this weekend. I already saw some you-tube stuff.. flowers look nice.. not very usefull though..
10. Do car-technical course Found a home study course through internet.. Not sure when i'm going to do that..
11. Making websites Had my first 'lesson'. Seems pretty easy. I can just find a free-internetsite online and create stuff.. Now i just have to fill it up..

VACATION:
14. On a boat (min. 2 nights) With ex-Zwolle friends we're going on a sailing trip, end of August.. We're just going for 1 night. So i might count is as 'done' or do another night on a boat somewhere else..
15. Min. 7 days in Nha Trang Friend is staying in Vietnam, so this will probably work.. hopefully Sanne and Ries will join to.
16. 3 months Finland (camp around/vacation/work) There's a change, repeat, CHANGE that i might be going to Finland with an ex-collegue of mine. He suggests to go for a weekend or maybe a week.. I'll be using that time to check out Finland for the first time, decide if i still want this, and maybe find out how i can arrange a 3 month round-about.
17. Min. 5 days alone and this time i have to go to Texel or Ameland. This is going to happen FOR SURE.. I'm going to a theatre/music festival on Terschelling, so i might get over my fear of getting on a boat with a car.. Or.. something..
18. Hongkong Again, hopefully with Sanne and Ries, or Mel with her kid.. This might also change to the Chinese Wall.
19. Laos See above (18).. Not changing this one!
22. With Lotte Didn't make a good arrangement, be she is willing and okay with a weekend..
25. Africa Yeah changed it into Alaska.. now it's 24 hours in bed, except for the toilet and cooking.. Not cause i'm lazy, to to get my restlessness under control, or face them at least.

PERSONAL / HOUSEHOLD STUFF:
38. Do garden and keep it up GARDENS DONE! Looks lovely! Now i have to keep it up, get some more plants in there and herb stuff.
41. Get furniture insurance Done! I also got an traveling insurance.
44. Fix ceiling of shower Called with housing-people-thing.. They'll be coming to have a looksee, if it needs fixing.. blahblah.. whatever.. for the time being i'm vacuuming my shower (paint-stuff is falling down) and ignoring the ceiling.
45. Arrange switching of lamps: kitchen <=> toilet ..=> is now visit graveyeard with my mother (within her routine) Switch this one. The lamps look strange the other way, so i'm sticking with what i've got. Switch it with 102.
46. Get dishwasher installed DONE!! Thanks dad!
51. Clean shower 1x p.m. (min. 6 months straight) (0/6) I'm back on 0/6, cause i haven't done it this month.

OTHER:
57. Read 'Anna Karenina' Still working on this one.. erm.. reading.. bit of a boring book so far. Tiny little letters are just not my favorite..
59. Get min. 2 people I know (friend, colleague, family..) to also make a 101 list (1/2) I know that at least one of my friends is working on a list..
62. Think of a reward / punishment when i get / don't get a goal Decided on a photoshoot. I really really don't like pictures of my, so it will be a personal conquest.. If i don't finish the list, i'll have pictures to remind me. If i do finish the list, i'll have them too ;)
65. Be vegatarian for half a year (also at my parents!) This one will start this month. probably next week, when i finish some meat i have in the freezer..

M'n lijst is weereens verandert.. ik zit weer op 101! hahahaha

Binnenkort komt ie wel online..

Op dit moment wil ik alleen maar mededelen dat ik deze maand vega ga worden. Jawel, zelfs met alle festivals e.d. in zicht! 65. Half jaar vegetarisch zijn (ook bij ouders!) gaat van start.. eh.. volgende week denk ik. Nog ff wat vleesdingen uit de diepvries eten, en klaar.

Wellicht ga ik er nog wat dingen bijaan knopen. Om bijvoorbeeld na 1 maand vega te zijn, ook een maand 'schijf van vijf'-voedsel en daarna een maand geen suiker.. zoiets.. Dat onderdeel gaat dan meer over m'n klakkeloos-consumeren gedrag en een boost voor 37. Als ik die nog ga halen, that is..

I'll keep ya'll posted!

XO

Sundaynight.

Tomorrow my parents are coming again, together with my uncle (Aart). We'll probably finish the garden (spray the moss away!), and the dishwasher.

Up next is the ceiling of my shower and connecting a closet to the wall... Oh and switch the lamp in the kitchen to the toilet, and connect a colourfull chandelier in the kitchen hahaha

Hopefully my mom and i will plant some seeds for vegetables and herbs.. Praying it will be in time..

Anyway, the list turn out to be a continue-ing proces.

I'm scrapping off Alaska/Afrika 25. It might just be a bit over-enthusiastic.. something my budget doesn't really allow.. :(.. taking in consideration all my holiday plans, Asia, 3-months-of-Finland and paying off my car.. :S Let's be a little realistic, although anything might happen!!

A new entry for 25. : Stay in bed all day (24 hours, incl. use of toilet and preparing food). This probably sounds lazy and easy to do for most people. I'm not most people. I can be pretty restless, so this might be a big challenge for me, and confronting..

I also thought of a reward and punishment if i don't finish the 101 in 1001 62. : I'll be doing a photoshoot. It doesn't have to be professional, it has to be fun and with costumes :D

It's a punishment cause i really really don't like pictures of me. My general thought: Pictures are fun, as long as it doesn't include me.

Next to that, if i don't manage to do the 101, it will always remind me that i didn't do it!

If i do finish, it will remind me that i had succes and even dared to do a photoshoot!

I even thought of some topics for the pictures: glamour, freaky and sexy. Of course natural or naked is always an option ;) hahaha

Might as well tell you about the back-up 101:

- Drive a truck; don't like truckdrivers.. and my concept of how big my/a car is + the side of the road, is doubtfull (like a true woman!)

- Do 5 random acts of kindness, per month. Could be for friends, family, strangers.. or giving away stuff.

Excellent timing, my lamps are switching off.. time for bed!! Lovely..

ps..if you think my English is bad.. sorry.. i'm not nice in my skin (haha Dutch expression).. i'm just tired and bit moody...I can't be tomorrow, so might as well do it now!! ;)
