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 #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.

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.

Sorta Counts, Right?

Food and Health
41. Do workout DVD exercises three times a week for two weeks (or play DDR for 30 minutes a day)

Actually, I've started working out with Larry, his Shaolin instructor Greg, their friend Kevin, and Kevin's two teenage neighbors. We work out about two hours once a week doing a revised version of 8 Minute Abs (Larry, Greg, and Kev pretty much have it memorized), a long list of other exercises (sit ups, push ups, stretches, squats, crunches), along with some weight lifting (yay for 5 pound weights!), Shaolin, and--my personal favorite--some tai chi!

So while it isn't quite what I had in mind, it's still a regular work-out schedule. I've been twice, so hopefully we'll keep it up for a little while. If not, I'll find something else to do.

51. Find an activity we can do together and do it often (craft, game, sport, whatever)

Punching at each other counts, right? ;-D
