Hooray! I have three more things that I did! At my going away party, Amy, Bex, Charity, and Erin helped me cross several things off my list:
1. I learned how to play poker 2. I tied a message to a balloon and let it fly. 3. And on Sunday I went to a cookie party and made my 3rd kind of cookie: Chocolate Snowballs. This means I have almost half my list done: 50 down, 50 to go!

The Mission: Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days
