An Update at Last

My life has changed too much since I started my list. Too many things will be impossible to complete. Then Wal-Mart went and screwed me up on one of my goals (Angel Tree), which was totally beyond my control, but still... Next time, I'll only go through the Salvation Army or some other store.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that my list needs serious altering. I'll be starting over on my 101 in 1001 with new goals. I think I did well this first time through. Even to this day, I've kept working at some of my goals, but I never got the chance to post about them. I'll post a final "What I Accomplished" list, then start my new one... which I'll most likely keep on Livejournal, for convenience's sake.

Until next time.

Update #65

Do Unto Others

22. Handcraft 2+ items as Christmas gifts each year (3/6)

Baby stuff for a friend! Yay! Mailing it out today, too!


24. Sponsor a kid off an Angel Tree for two Christmases (0/2)

Got the kid's name. Now to buy for him.


Food and Health
40. Try a new recipe and/or food every month (14/143)

I tried some new food at the Chinese place at the end of last month. It was some kind of shrimp with veggies in a cream sauce. Not bad, but not going to be something I get regularly.

This month, I had blueberry pancakes with cream cheese. That was different... and delicious!


Friends

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

Buying the last item, sending it out today.


I wish I could elaborate more, but the dog is annoying the piss out of me.

Update #63

Personal Upgrades
60. Buy clothes suitable for an office work environment

I think I'm well stocked for now. Polos, slacks, khakis, trouser socks, sweaters, even a spiffy blazer. Yay.

Another One Done

Personal Upgrades
65. Completely restock makeup box and throw away old stuff

Done. Finished buying pretty much all my essentials today, then I threw away everything in my makeup box that was older than one year. There are a few stray pieces here and there, but they'll make it to the trash.

The only piece exempt from the trash is my Clinique lipstick. I need to write down the color name/code so I can find more like it. It's expensive, though. It was a gift back in high school, so it might be discontinued for all I know. We shall see.

Update #61

Personal Upgrades
60. Buy clothes suitable for an office work environment

I've bought three new pairs of pants and three new shirts. I also got a sweater for work. Yay.
