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.

The Angel Tree is up. I have a job. Time to pick a kid. :-)

Weekly Update #14

Very Personal

Over the weekend, one of my personal goals became somewhat on the null and void side. Technically, I could still do it, but it's at a point where it would be pointless to do so. I'm going to have to replace it with a different goal... what, I'm not sure just yet, but hopefully I'll come up with something.

It's not really a bad thing per say that this goal is no longer valid, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't disappointing.

When I made my list, I'd hoped to have a job by now. Even if the bank called me today, said I had a job, and I started tomorrow , by the time I finally got paid, it would be too late to meet the deadline. With all the expenses lately, I couldn't get my sponsored child anything nice anyway... Dollar Store Delights wasn't what I had in mind. :-/

*sighs* I'm not sure what to do about this one. Do I wait until next Christmas and sponsor two kids? Or do I chalk this one up to failure? I dunno... thoughts?

Edit: It was pointed out to me that my dates for my 101 fall so that three Christmases will pass before my deadline. Yay! I still have a chance! It was also suggested to me that if I'm still unable to spend money, in lieu of Angel Tree gifts, I should donate x-amount of time to a charity or shelter during the holiday season. :-) That works, too.
