46. BookCross all audio books on cassette that I'm not planning on listening to

Back in March, I mailed out four boxes full of audio books on tape (a variety of abridged & unabridged in each box).
Audio bookbox (going to multiple bookcrossers): 19 books
iwillrejoice: 19 books
keno-mom: 19 books
hyphen8: 17 books



I also got rid of all the convention leftovers at the Gaithersburg Book Festival this past Saturday (about 25 books).

I'll have to do a final look through my audios and see if that's all of the ones I'm willing to part with, but I think I'm just about done with this thing.

98. Donate 100,000 grains of rice at FreeRice

The website counted properly this time! Maybe the bugs are worked out for good? Also, I discovered the French language subject and had lots of fun remembering vocabulary words I thought I'd forgotten!

I did 4,500 today.

Total: 30,000


EDIT: I just picked up my 101 Things journal and found 7,000 grains recorded there on 11/07/10 that never made it to this journal!
So I'm actually at 37,000. Woot!

85. Send a postcard to PostSecret

I just wrote out, addressed, and stamped a postcard to go out in the mail to PostSecret. I don't have a lot of secrets that I haven't told people, but it feels good to get this one out into the world.

59. Visit Harper's Ferry, WV

Some of my friends and I rented a lovely house for the weekend in Harper's Ferry in May, 2012. I got to town a little early to snarf (I printed out a list of 140 local snarfs and worked my way through them all weekend, while finding lots of bonus ones). And I spent the weekend hanging out with friends, playing games, writing, relaxing on the porch overlooking church ruins and the rivers, on a ghost tour, and walking/shopping around town. It was a glorious weekend. So relaxing and fun as well. I had a wonderful time in Harper's Ferry and look forward to going again some day... I just don't want to wait another 14 years or so between visits!

74. Start a local Quidditch team

I met with some friends and a rep from DC Social Sports Club who wants to start a local Quidditch team or maybe even a league. We decided that starting out with a training camp would be a good idea. People would get to figure out what position they're best at, learn the basics of the game, etc. It starts in April. Guess we'll see what happens!

Here are the event details: http://dcsocialsports.com/leagues/quidditch/4433

24. February 2012 Project

For a long time now, Tumblr has mystified me. I'm still not sure I completely understand it, but after a while thinking about getting one, I finally signed up: http://www.tumblr.com/blog/kintailscape
I've posted a dozen times or so and reblogged some as well. I'm using it mostly to fangirl. I can always use more places and ways to fangirl :-)

96. Help mdm139 achieve a 101 in 1001 goal

Pretty sure that mdm didn't finish her list, so I didn't have a ton of choices. But I finally went with...

mdm139's 55. take a bubble bath with candles and wine



I don't know the first thing about wine, and M's pregnant right now anyway. But the candles and bubblebath seemed to fit the bill. I gave her these items at her baby shower.

44. Choose a wild release location and take photos of 100 different releases there

Release 9 of 100: February 7, 2012

I released this one as part of a swap-bot swap (release a book and send your partner a photo of the release). I released Tuesdays with Morrie on a Tuesday.
Book: http://www.bookcrossing.com/journal/10431244/

Release 10 of 100: February 14, 2012

I released this on Valentine's Day in honor of a DLF we lost a little while back in a car accident. Becky was a BookCrosser and was born on Valentine's Day, so this was for her.
Book: http://www.bookcrossing.com/journal/10442323/
And it was caught!

98. Donate 100,000 grains of rice at FreeRice

Looks like the website is getting better at keeping track. It still jumps around from subject to subject, but it seems to be counting better.

Donated in February 2012: 2220

I'm just over a quarter finished. Yikes! Still quite a long way to go.

Total: 25,500/100,000

98. Donate 100,000 grains of rice at FreeRice

FreeRice.com is kind of broken. It doesn't record the totals properly, it forgets what level you're on, it forgets what subject you're on. So even though it tells you you've only earned 500, it might be 1500 you've actually earned. Still, I decided to let the website keep track for me.

Donated in January 2012: 6280

Total: 23,280/100,000

Still a long, LONG way to go.
