Update #42

Personal Upgrades
63. Buy a new little black dress

I went on a search recently. No luck.


Preparation
77. Begin serious plotting future offspring

I'm baby crazy. It's becoming less of a goal and more of an insatiable desire.


Satisfying Nerdom
86. Successfully complete all Final Fantasies I own and never beat the end bosses…

Still on disc 1 of FF7. It's at a tedious part, so I'm taking a break with Harvest Moon: Back to Nature.

Update #39

None of the items in the last blog will be accomplished this weekend because a computer for my car still has yet to be located. *sadness*

46. Send each close friend a handcrafted item (1/5)
46. Send each close friend a handcrafted item (1/5)

I have 1 item in progress, 2 in the "waiting to be started" catefory (all materials bought, just need to start working), and 1 more in plotting (I still may or may not make this particular item for this person, since I'm not sure she'll like it).

We shall see.


Preparation
77. Begin serious plotting future offspring

I have such terrible baby fever right now. It's not even funny. Seriously... I'm researching birthing plans. Well, I was at one point in recent history. Right now, I'm beginning serious plotting of going to bed.

Update #24

Natural disasters, power outages, and other generalized "omg what else can go wrong?!" have prevented me from updating on time.

Food and Health
40. Try a new recipe and/or food every month (6/143)

I tried pork chops made in an inferred oven. They kicked ass!


Preparation
75. Create emergency kits for all of our vehicles and for the home

We were able to buy a corded phone for our home emergency kit. Other items like unscented candles, small bottles of propane, and such were all bought up pretty much in a four-county radius. Very, very yarg.

Update #22 & 23

Due to the loss of power, I was unable to post my weekly updates. Here is what I was accomplishing during that time:

Do Unto Others
27. Make a photo album of grandkids for Karen

While not quite directly related, I've put every picture I have of Bubby and Chrissy on a flash drive for Karen so she can print out all the pictures she wants at Wal-Mary. YAY!

Food and Health
40. Try a new recipe and/or food every month (5/143)

I tried Karen's style of spaghetti... ew. I don't know what she puts in it, but it totally disagreed with me from the taste buds down.

42. Compile a book of recipes that I have collected, created, or were gifts

I have ONE typed out! Does that count?


Preparation
75. Create emergency kits for all of our vehicles and for the home

She's making a list, checking it twice...

82. Complete at least one book in the Jade trilogy

I had a huge thought hit me last night about a troublesome character. Now to apply it!

Weekly Update

Cleaning and Organizing
2. Clean my car, inside and out

The other day, we bought needed material for washing cars. Apparently, washing Larry's Firebird with just Dawn and water isn't good enough... lmao.

Confidence Building
8. Be more open about being bisexual (lose this lingering shame I was taught growing up)

Still trying to figure out a way to go about this without becoming one of those "screaming homo/bisexuals" that I can't stand.

Personal Upgrades
62. Buy 6 matching sets of pretty bras and panties (2/6)

Yay!

Preparation
76. Research horse ownership and care

I was offered a horse yesterday... for free. As in a no-bull-crap offer free horse. O_o Politely declined because I don't even have a goat shed yet. I need a barn before I can have a horse.


So yeah, such is my progress as of late. Nothing terribly exciting, but progress nonetheless.

Another Goal Nearing Completion

Cleaning and Organizing
6)Clean out email inboxes (1/2)

My Gmail is down from nearly 200 emails to a mere 39. Most of those were saved because I'm too lazy to bookmark the links Haley sent me. ^_^

I'm still pretty nervous about some of my goals. Getting the easy ones off the list makes me feel pretty spiffy, but then I look at some of my goals (like get #61. Get a cushy state job) really get me worried, even though I've got lots of time.

Hmmm, I need a ticker to countdown until my goal time is over. That should help me realize that I've still got lots of time to work at my bigger goals.

Preparation
77. Begin serious plotting future offspring

Due to recent drama in the family, the subject of offspring has came up a few times. I won't mark this as "in progress" just yet, but it's scraping at the iceberg.
