Update #48

Family
36. Visit my mom for a weekend
37. Arrange a visit/outing with Ron and Jeff

I visited mom for three days and two nights. Ron and Jeff weren't there.


Travel
98. Visit Connie wherever she's living at the time

Due to the nature of my visit and the level of emotional draining it caused, I wasn't up for visiting much of anyone unless it was someone who could make Bill better. Perhaps next time. ;_;

Unanticipated Travel Plans

Family
36. Visit my mom for a weekend
37. Arrange a visit/outing with Ron and Jeff

I'm trying to get in touch with my mom to arrange a visit this weekend. I wish it was under better circumstances. Hopefully, Ron and Jeff will be there, too.


Travel
98. Visit Connie wherever she's living at the time

If I do get to come in for a visit, Connie and I should go raid a dollar menu somewhere.

Update #38

Family
36. Visit my mom for a weekend

Might get to this coming weekend, finances allowing.


37. Arrange a visit/outing with Ron and Jeff

Granted dad doesn't screw with the visitation schedules like he loves doing, Ron and Jeff will be at mom's this weekend. We can all go to the Polk Sallet festival together! :-D


Travel
98. Visit Connie wherever she's living at the time

If I get to go to Harlan this weekend, I'll definitely give Connie a ring and see about making some merry at the Polk Sallet festival with some ice cream, lol.


Got a lot riding on this weekend. Here's hoping my car doesn't break us up... and that we can find a goat-sitter.

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.

Update #27 & #28

Things have been crazy and I haven't been able to update. Here's what I've been up to:

Family
35. Take Chrissy on a “Cool Girl Club” outing

The "Hannah Montana Movie" is coming out soon. I plan on taking Chrissy. *tosses confetti*


Food and Health
40. Try a new recipe and/or food every month (7/143)

Larry's homemade chicken noodle soup! :-D


Friends
46. Send each close friend a handcrafted item

I've got a thing on my LJ where I'm making hand-crafted items for 5 people. Some of them are close friends. :-) I'm currently working on one for a dear online friend of mine.


Pets
68. Breed Zoe and Frank (still waiting to see if she kids)

Still no kids.


Satisfying Nerdom
89. Place tags on all of my old journal entries including LJ and Xanga

Still working on it.

Weekly Update #17

Family
33. Spend the day shopping with Karen

I think we did this Saturday? Friday? Honestly, the days have been running right together anymore. :-/ Oh well. Mission accomplished, and it was a lot of fun!

Weekly Update #15

Creativity
17. Complete the 100 Snapshots Challenge (0/100)
18. Complete 26 Things and post in my journal (0/26)

I need to just do these and get them over with. Honestly, they're not THAT hard. You point the camera at something and take a picture. End of story. Alas, yon ADD, I know thee well... for I am easily distracted. ^_~ lol

Do Unto Others
22. Handcraft 2+ items as Christmas gifts each year (1/6)

I really need to finish that scarf for Oaksy...


Family
33. Spend the day shopping with Karen

We might do this during the upcoming weekend. There's Christmas shopping to be done! We'll see if it happens, though.


Pets
67. Leash-train Jack and Jasper

They have their first "real test" this week when I take them to the vet. They've outgrown their transporting cage, so they will have to ride in the "cannot leave the truck" cage and be walked into the vet's office. Wish my boys luck!

68. Breed Zoe and Frank

Frank is no longer rutting (thank God). Zoe still doesn't appear pregnant. Larry worries Frank is infertile. At first he suggested Zoe was, but considering she's got Jack and Jasper... But like I've read, it's hard to tell until right before they pop. I'll wait until February or so before I give up.


Related to Stories
82. Complete at least one book in the Jade trilogy

I'm going to try my best to put real effort into writing on this story. I have the prologue mostly edited. There's still kinks, but it's something, right? I've also worked out a better first chapter. Hopefully, it will work out as well as I hope it will.

Replacement Goal #101
No idea. I would like to have this slot filled before the new year, but so far I can't come up with anything. :-/ I have plenty of other goals to keep me occupied right now, so I haven't given it much thought at all. Oh well, we shall see.
