Update #46

Cleaning and Organizing
7. Wash dishes once a week for two months (1/8)

I really hate doing dishes.


Creativity
12. Make Larry’s “Pocket Quilt”

I've been saving up old jeans for this project.


Food and Health
44. No internet on Wednesday for 2 months (0/8)

Might give this one a try this week.


Love My Larry
50. Make sure his 27th birthday is the best one he’s ever had

While his birthday was good, it wasn't great due to lack of funding. Will try again next year. :-/

53. Create a list of 1001 reasons why he makes me so happy… just to remind him :-)

I want to start this one soon, too.


Personal Upgrades
61. Get a cushy state job

Applied to three more today, both in Frankfort and more locally.


Shits & Giggles
95. Make and sell 5 items on Etsy (0/5)

With my new interest in soap making and the fact I can now knit/crochet washcloths, I might sell little bath sets. I'm also feeling bold and might get into making various other bath products, like shampoo, lotion, and deodorant. Who knew my frustration with my eczema could lead me to a possible "little extra cash on the side" business venture?

Update #45

Friends
46. Send each close friend a handcrafted item (2/5)

Despite our differences, I am a Janne of my word, therefore I am working on the handcrafted goods for a certain person. I just want to get it out of the way so I don't have to think about it. I'm making a scarf (crochet) and some washcloths (knit and crochet).

Predicting a Fail

Love My Larry
50. Make sure his 27th birthday is the best one he’s ever had

I'd bet large sums of money that his mom (or sisters) will play a big part in making his birthday a total fail. Ugh...

Update #44

Creativity
20. Draw or paint five pictures (1/5)

I'm thinking of doing three more so this one will be part of a set.



This is it from a distance, like it's supposed to be viewed.

Going to try next week...


Friends
46. Send each close friend a handcrafted item (2/5)

Will send the gift this weekend.


Very Personal
101. ******* ** ******

I still don't know about this one. It's without a doubt the hardest goal on my list, and with recent events, I don't know if it will ever be possible. I don't know. We'll see.

Potential Friend in Need

Friends
48. Create/send 5 care packages for friends (0/5)

Well, I'm making a care package, but it's not for a friend. It's for a fellow Ravler (on Ravelry) who's in need. Mostly, it's a bunch of dry food that won't perish on the trip, but there's also some tea and a couple of cat toys for her two kitties.

Who knows? Maybe we'll become friends after this. :-)

Update #43

Food and Health
40. Try a new recipe and/or food every month (11/143)

Philly cheese steak Hamburger Helper with fresh onions and green peppers fried with it, topped with a teaspoon of sour cream... totally for the win. ^_^

Wow, is this really Month 11?


Love My Larry
50. Make sure his 27th birthday is the best one he’s ever had

Well, it might not be the best one ever, but hopefully it'll be better than any he's had while we were together. :-(
