101 project

I am slowly but surely chipping away at my 101 goals that I developed a few months ago. I have completed three goals, am currently working on 24 more, and have altered 10. I consider these numbers not bad for the first 3 months or so of this project.

I have been growing increasingly dissatisfied with the Google website I set up to track my goals and progress. I am a big fan of Google, but their website interface is just a bit too simplistic of what I wanted the site to accomplish. Yesterday I decided to move everything to a blog. A blog will allow visitors to comment and gives me more options in regards to arranging and posting of information and pictures.

Justin sent me to the site where he gets most of his blog templates and, after playing around with a few, I settled on one to at least get the blog started. I spent a good portion of last night and the early morning hours creating a post for each goal, as well as generic posts. I also, with a bit of help from Justin, make (at least in my estimation) a lot of changes to the HTML code of the template itself. I figured out some of that on my own and Justin walked me through the rest. I felt massive proud of myself for making the blog look like I wanted it to and getting everything linked properly via HTML.

I am sure there will be more changes to come, perhaps even a whole new template in the future, but from now on you'll need to go here if you are interested in seeing how I'm doing on my goals!

In other news, pictures of my new car will be coming soon. It has rained darn near constantly since I picked the car up, and I'd like to get it washed and cleaned up before I take its picture. I do need suggestions for names! I know pictures will help but be thinking on names anyway. If you come up with any leave a comment!

I am getting serious about finding a job. I had been hoping to hear from a place out East and called yesterday to get an update on their search. I'm still waiting for them to call me back. :) Oh well. That's the way it goes. I know not take it personally, but it is a bit discouraging.

That's my life to date. I'm getting excited to see some family soon!

Love!
