Ice Skating: My first complete goal!

My family and I went up to Lake Placid for the Empire State Games this past weekend.  My sister competes in monoskiing.  While we were there, Justin and I decided to skate around the Olympic Speed Skating Oval.  It was so much fun!

9. Get a literary tattoo

I will consider this goal complete if/when: At the end of 1001 days I have a tattoo that is a quote from a book I love

Why this is on my list: I was never able to decide whether I wanted a tattoo or not. However, when I learned about all-text literary tattoos, the idea really resonated with me. I am a future school librarian, and I have loved books forever. The only problem now will be choosing what quote to have done.

This is a one-off task that will be documented here when complete

Goal status: to do

8. Go ice skating

I consider this goal complete if/when: I have gone ice skating one winter during the 1001 days

Why this is on my list: I used to love ice skating. I haven't been able to go for several years because my boyfriend tore his ACLs 3 times, and I didn't have anyone else interested in going. He is all fixed up now, and hopefully we can go.

This is a one off task that I will write about here when finished

Goal status: complete

7. Go hiking

I will consider this goal complete if/when: I have gone kayaking one time

5. Go to a water park

I will consider this goal complete when/if: I have gone to a waterpark for the day one time

Why this is on my list: I do not really like amusement parks, but I have always loved water slides. This will make sure I make it a priority to go to one.

This is a one off task and I will document its completion in this blog

4. Go camping at least once a year

I consider this goal complete when/if: I have gone camping three times, once in 2010, once in 2011, and once in 2012.

3. Try skiing

I consider this goal complete when/if: I have gotten on skis, gone up a ski lift, and gone down the hill at least one time in 1001 days

Why this is on my list: My dad and sister love skiing and go every weekend, but my mom and I never do it. When I was in high school I took a snow boarding lesson once, but was too scared to go up the ski lift with my snowboard. I want to move past that pathetic event and try skiing at least once, to know whether or not I like it.

This is a one off task, and I will write about it here when it is complete

Goal status: to do

2. Find a geocache

I consider this goal complete when/if: At the end of 1001 days I have sucessfully found a hidden geocache item.

Why it is on my list: I think finding a geocache sounds like a fun thing to do, and could lead to a fun outing.

This is a one off task and I will write a blog entry here when it is complete

1. Go see three waterfalls

I consider this goal complete when/if: At the end of 1001 days I have seen three different waterfalls.
