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!

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!

Working on one for my expecting friend. It's not much, but it's a little something that will hopefully cheer her up. :-)

I'm reading Lord of the Flies. It's nothing spectacular, but it's holding my attention.


That's about it.

Potential Friend in Need

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. :-)

Kickoff for 101 in 1001!

I tried to book Hannah Montana to sing the national anthem and the Jonas *cough*emo*cough* Brothers for the halftime show, but alas... no luck. So my 101 in 1001 kickoff will have to begin with a simple tossing of confetti.

*tosses confetti*

I've began making small progress on my list today. Here's what's gone on so far:

101 in 1001
1) Made my weekly blog! I know... easy one.

Do Unto Others
22) Began plotting Christmas gifts for people. I have three scarves and a shawl planned so far.
23) Still growing my hair for Locks of Love. I have not spontaneously decided to wack it off again. Again, easy one.
26) Spoke to Gina via email about art commission. She refuses to charge me, but I'll make a donation anyway... 'cause artists need paid. :-D

Food and Health
40) Began confidence building by creating my own recipe last night. I had broccoli and cheddar rice with diced tomatoes and ranch dressing. Very yummy! Next time, I'll use either less ranch or substitute in sour cream.

Friends
48) Already scouted out potential item(s) for care packages for friends. Yay!

Outdoors
57) Scouted out awesome pots for flowers! I plan on buying them soon.

Pets
67) Jack and Jasper began leash training today. It's going to be a long road, lol.

I think I'm off on the right foot. :-D
