101 Things: April 2011 Update

It's practically May and I haven't updated the 101 Things status in awhile, because, well... nothing was happening.  Other than me taking a picture every day, I've really not tackled anything else on the list.  Clicking on the tab above will take you to the master list; click here for the post where I introduced the project and click here for my February follow-up. 

I've added a few things to the 'In Progress' list... and a few to the 'Completed' list. 

In progress

17. Read/finish all the books that have been sitting on my nightstand for the last six months:
          a. The Year of Living Biblically 
                   Yeah. Still.

18. Make a cd with 26 new songs, each song starting with a different letter of the alphabet.
           Tracks so far 1. "Cold Fame" - Band of Skulls
                                2. "Sweet Disposition" - The Temper Trap
                                3. "Turning Tables" - Adele
                                4. "Up Nights" - Ha Ha Tonka

19. Watch 25 movies from the imdb Top 250 list (combo of movies I’ve seen and haven’t seen)
           1. The Shawshank Redemption
           2. Fight Club
50. Make at least 90% of the recipes in my Martha Stewart Cooking School book
           Still stuck a three.  Haven't even cracked the book during my last grocery planning adventures.

55. A photo a day for 1001 days

58. Keep a pregnancy journal (or getting a baby journal) with updates at least once a week

60. Put together guest room
          This room is now going to serve another purpose....

61. Put together my office
          And this room will now be the guest room/craft room...     

62. Send at least one card per month for the duration of the project (33 cards)
          I'm not doing very good at this.  I've only sent two cards in four months.

71. Make 12 different flavors of ice cream
          Still at 1/12. 

79. Fix my hair every day for a week… NO PONYTAILS!
         This is *technically* complete, but I have no photographic evidence, so I'm doing it again.

86. Make plans with my sister at least once a month
         Not doing very well here, either.  We do see each other more now though, due to the store.

87. Make plans with best friends once a month
         Doing really good here.  I've been making lots of time for friends lately and that ROCKS.

88. Make plans with my mom at least once a month
        Fail city here too.  We see each other because of the store, so we don't really make plans otherwise.

89. Have a date night with Justin once a month
        Alone dates, as predicted, never happen.  Couple dates do happen, a lot. 

91. Own a “family” car

100. Get my Associates Degree

Completed

15. Pay off Justin’s truck
        Completed in March

66. Go Facebook free (by choice) for at least one day
        Completed 1/4/11-1/7/11

73. Go a week without soda
        Completed several times since the end of February 

Looking at the list now, I know there's one thing I should've put on there, especially now since it's completed.





Get knocked up.






Seriously.  It happened.  Unexpectedly, but ever so joyously.  We can't believe our luck, considering we were convinced it would take us forever to have a wee baby.  Hence the changes in things I've got in progress and this will also lead to the removal of a couple things.  But seriously....

I'm having a baby.

I've been writing at least one baby related post every week since I found out so those will now be posted on the blog.  My blog silence was only because I didn't know what to talk about other than the baby business.  *Sigh* There is SO much to share.

But enough about that... my 101 Things will certainly change, and the pressure to complete it isn't as strong as it was before, but I'm going to keep plugging away because it's fun... or at least it should be.

1001 Pictures: February 13 - 28

I'm still doing the 101 Things list.  Swears.  One of those things is to take a picture a day for the whole 1001 days.  I posted January's photos here and posted a collage of February 1-12 here.  The collage seems to work best, so we're going to keep that up.  Seeing as how today is April 23 (!) I owe you A LOT of pictures.

So I give you February 13-28.



First row: Day 44 These CD cases are empty... victim of theft. I made a list of all these albums so I could iTunes them; Day 45 First married Valentine's Day; Day 46 Snoozing Duke, I can't get enough; Day 47 Someone forgot their wedding ring.

Second row: Day 48 High school basketball; Day 49 Tried to take a pic of the heart on Daisy's chest; Day 50 Sweet new ketchup packets at Chik-Fil-A; Day 51 Photographic evidence that Daisy picks through her food for the good stuff.

Third row: Day 52 Craft shopping with Grace and Krystal; Day 53 Bedtime for an OLD married lady (9:45); Day 54 The Dukes begs; Day 55 I self-jacked my picture strip on my FB profile.

Fourth row: Day 56 Judging high school kids in Parli Procedures; Day 57 Saw this booze in Arkansas; Day 58 Sleeping Duke... it's too cute!; Day 59 Duke pulled enough blanket off the couch for him to lay on in the floor.

I know I take A LOT of pics of the dogs but seriously they're cute.  And I love it.

Happy Saturday love nuggets!  I've got a busy day ahead, even including some blog stuff.  Believe it!

Following up on something I promised to follow up on.

Let's all pretend we're not suprised I've not been updating the Weight Watchers thing, mmmmkay?  I started here and, well, that's where it ended.  UNTIL NOW!!!!

When we left off, I was on week 4, and down 3.4 lbs.  Since then:

Week 1 (first weigh in): 0
Week 2 (first week on plan): -4.4
Week 3: +2
Week 4: -1
Week 5: +.8
Week 6: -.8

I'd like it to be known that on the day of my week 6 weigh-in, I went bananas.  I was not expecting to weigh in that night, so I ate everything I felt like eating that day and I still LOST -.8.  Which tells me I actually ate right that week and there's no telling how much I would've lost had I not gone off the rails.  I also didn't pee beforehand.  So here I am, 6 weeks into WW and I've lost 3.4 lbs.  That's it.

I'm fine with this.  I'll tell you why *soon*... I promise. 

Oh, and here's a riddle for you... what have I lost more of than I've lost lbs?

Answer???

Followers.

I've lost 4, count 'em, FOUR followers in the last week.

Just thought I should put that out there.  I totally have sad face over it but I'm SO glad to have the followers that are still there. 

Hugs and kisses, love nuggets.

Can't. Wait.
