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?

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 #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. :-(

Update #36

Family
36. Visit my mom for a weekend

I'm thinking of going to see mom the weekend of the Polk Sallet (sp?) Festival, but that's still up in the air... as in unlikely.


Other than that, I haven't really done anything worth reporting on. Here's some plotting instead.


Food and Health
40. Try a new recipe and/or food every month (8/143)

Still looking for a new food/recipe to try.


Friends
46. Send each close friend a handcrafted item

I'm working on a shawl, but because of the color, I don't know who to give it to. Certain people in my life might mistake a white shawl as encouragement for certain things I disapprove of if I gave it to them.


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

I've got some money saved up... not much, but enough to do a little something, if nothing else.


Personal Upgrades
61. Get a cushy state job

At this point, how about "get a job period."


In the future, I may make a change to my "Travel" section due to unexpected changes in my life. I may or may not still have the desire to visit this person anytime between now and the end of my 101 in 1001. Time will tell, though.
