How it's gone

So, it's been a week, so I'll give a little update on how my "plans" have gone (and I have a couple extra that I've done that I'll comment on, too!)

1. Organize apartment (sort-of an on-going thing, but I would like to at least get some pictures on the wall!

Nothing on the walls yet, but things are getting a little more organized. I bought an aquarium at a yard sale when I went to my cousin's graduation, so that's up and I bought some fish for it, too! I was going to post some pictures, but I forgot to bring my camera to the library! Maybe next time I won't bore you with so many words!

2. "catalogue" books --

No progress on this one yet!

3. Scrapbook my Chile pictures.

No progress on this one either (this is a little depressing!!)

4. Organize/sort school files.

YEAH!! I did actually do this one, at least the part that doesn't have to be done at the school! Now I just need them to finish waxing the floors so I can get in there and start sorting!

5. Go to the resource center to laminate some things and cut out some stuff for next year.

I think I need to wait until I can get in my room so I know what needs to be done (a.k.a. -- not done either!

6. Read at least 5 books I've never read before.

No progress yet (I guess I can't be too hard on myself -- it's only been a week!)

7. Crochet at least one afgahan.

NOPE!

8. Find a quote from each movie I own.

O.K.!! This one I actually started! I decided I would do 5 each time I come to the library. I was going to come last Saturday, but they didn't have internet service, so this has been done for a couple of days! I'll share them with you, too, and you can let me know if you know of a better quote for one of the movies. (my OCD kicked in -- I'm doing them in reverse alphabetical order)

You've Got Mail -- "If I hadn't been Fox Books and you hadn't been The Shop Around the Corner. And you and I had just, oh, met. (I know) Yeah -- I would've asked for your number. And I wouldn't've been able to wait 24 hours before calling you up and saying 'Hey! How 'bout, oh, how about some coffee, or, ya know, drinks or dinner or a movie . . . for as long as we both shall live.'" Joe Fox/Tom Hanks (Kathleen Kelley/Meg Ryan)

Yours, Mine, & Ours -- "Why would anybody do this?!"
"But -- it's clean"
'No - honey - I can't work with clean. I have a deadline!"
(the mom after seeing how her children had cleaned up her work area)

World Trade Center - "We're not leaving you buddy. We're Marines -- You are our mission!"

White Christmas - "You know, in some ways you're far superior to my Cocker Spaniel"

War of the Worlds - (note -- I'm between 2 quotes -- let me know what you think)

"Runnin' -- that's what'll kill ya. And I'm dead-set on livin'."

or

"Between me and my brother, we know everything."
"What's the capital of Australia?"
"That's one my brother knows."

On to the new stuff!

9. I've had a couple-year goal of putting together all my puzzles and marking the back with a letter for that puzzle just in case the pieces ever get mixed up. I'm up to S so far, but I still have several puzzles to go. I put together one more this past week, so that's going well.

10. re-format my computer.

I tried to do this, but when I called Dell, they said that since my warrenty is up, I would have to pay them $39 to have them talk me through it. I told them never mind. I was really confused. When I had my desktop (not a Dell), it included everything necessary to re-format the computer whenever I wanted to! My laptop didn't even have an owner's manuel! (at least not that I can find!) Anyway, I'm going to check on their website and see if there's any information there that would help me.

I guess that's all for now. Hopefully the next time I post I will have accomplished a little more.
