Long OVERDUE update

Thanksfully I didnt include updating this blog on a weekly and monthly basis.... but I have been a bit productive in accomplishing things on my list.

27- de- (insert ex-wifes name here) Joes bedroom :-)

DONE... dont think this one needs must explaination :)

5- no eating out during the week for 1 month

this wasnt as hard as I had expected... just created a lot of dirty dishes


9- lose 50 pounds

ok so I havent accomplished this goal yet but.... I am down 13 pounds- yipeeee!!!!

11- walk across the Brooklyn Bridge

Went into the city with Mom and Mike the weekend before St Patty's day... we walked around Manhattan and then came upon the bridge.
I have been on the Manhattan side and the Brooklyn side but never walked fully across the bridge- only half way. I have to admit that I wasnt as excited to do this as I expected... maybe bc there is construction and as you're in the middle section its all construction walled off... more like walking in a hallway with no ceiling.



39- put the maximum money into my IRA each year

2013 is done... maxed out!!!


46- learn to knit

I am not saying that Im good at it but... I have learned. I have no needle control so I also had Mom teach me how to crochet and that is working out much better!

57- put negatives on a cd disk

The woman at Walgreens might hate me but... its finally DONE!!!!

60- take the stairs at work twice a week for at least a month

I wrote this one with taking the stairs UP to work in mind yet... I take the stair DOWN at night so... technically Ive accomplished this goal too- ha!

77- go to bed before 11pm twice a week for at least a month

I was good for the month of Feb and felt great bc I was getting 8 hrs of sleep a night... havent been keeping up with it and think I really do need that extra sleep- makes me a nicer person at work ;)

78- get up 2 hours before work 2 days a week

this one is easy- I go to the gym anywhere from 3-5 days a week

80- go ice fishing

I went ice fishing in Febuary with Joe, Kids, My cousin... well lets just say almost all of WSS... I just stood around and drank by the fire.... but I didnt say I would ice fish- just that I would go... and I did.

96- go to the gym minimum 2 times a week

oddly I actually like going to the gym in the am's before work... DONE!!!

100- complete crafts already bought before buying more

this one I have NOT accomplished bc I cant stop buying yarn and crocheting things... but at least Im finishing those projects instead of adding them to my pile of stuff to do... but I have gotten a couple of things done... Slowly it will all get done.



I have to figure out how to post pictures (Im not as computer literate as Sarah) but once I figure it out... you will be the first to see

Until next update!!!

I had to edit my 101 list a bit... my cousin was a bit upset that I didnt include her in anything (yet I did have some stuff in mind to do with her and the kids but.... bc I didnt put her name on it guess it wasnt official enough ;)

I am pleased to announce that I have finished #6 :) last 2 books I found easier to read (less smut) and read them each in less then a day.....

#27- Dont want to say that I have completed it bc I want to do another check of the bedroom but... Im pretty confident that I can cross this one off ;)

Now if I would stop snowing and warm up a bit... would make it easier to check some more things off my list!!!
