I've seen several other people do this, and I thought it was such a great idea. I have 1001 days (or until March 15, 2012) to complete this list. Most of these are things I have wanted to do for awhile, but just haven't had the motivation or time.

I'm going to start keeping track of what I have done on here…check back and see how far I can get!

(And yes, there are some private ones…there are things that even I won't put on my blog!)

For Me

1. Take a long bubble bath at least once a week.
2. Buy at least one new outfit every couple of months. (4/16)
3. Keep hands and feet maintained with a manicure/pedicure.
4. Organize the files on my computer. Keep organized.
5. Get two new camera lenses and learn how to use them. (1/2)
6. Keep my wedding/engagement rings clean.

    Great list! I think I might make one too. (BTW, I ventured over from Kelly's Korner.) As for the paying of debt and setting a budget…I highly recommend Dave Ramsey's books. Better yet, go to his Financial Peace University series. First step, cut up the credit cards. 🙂 We've been living debt-free (except for mortgage) for 6 years now!!I love the ideas you have for serving others!!

    To read the Bible I would recommend getting 'Read the Bible in 90 days' it breaks it up into 12 pages a day so that it's not as overwhelming. Plus even if you get behind then you'll still get it done in a reasonable amount of time! Love your list. I have some other ideas and tips but it's late and we have church tomorrow. I am bookmarking your blog, my hubby and I live in Birmingham. So funny to me that I found someone local from IHeartPublix.com! I LOVE using coupons too and getting great deals at the grocery, Walgreens, and CVS. Look forward to seeing more of your savings! Oh and did you have any classes at Bama with a Crystal Winton? She was an education major as well and graduated in Aug. 2008. Just curious! Good luck on your list!
