Happy Birthday Missy!  

Congratulations to Meghan and Jess on being gainfully employed! I’m so happy for both of you

Before my dad sends me another entry about his visit here, I just wanted to say that for maybe two days after finishing my 100 things list, I was a bit overwhelmed. But, since then, I’ve pulled myself together and some items are being knocked off my list, and others have been started, although I still have a long way to go.

One of the other blogs I read posts an update to her life list every Friday, and she’s mentioned it helps keep her accountable to keep working on her goals, and also that it helps her feel supported.

I don’t know about all that weekly update business, but I’ll try to occasionally.

Monthly stuff
#10 – Go somewhere new and local once a month – haven’t missed it yet. that’s right, I’m 100% for 2 months in a row!
#78 – Write a letter to someone every month. This one actually started in April, so I’m doing awesome so far.

In Progress
#7 – Go to New Orleans for Mardi Gras – planning has definitely begun!
#12 – Plan a trip with friends – Mardi Gras will be double counting it seems.
#18 – Figure out when it’s necessary to make a will – Yes, it seems that it is in fact necessary, especially as Dan and I live together but are not married or partners in the eyes of the government
#34 – Transition from plastic to other materials in the kitchen – almost there with this one. Just have to get rid of some of our plastics, but we have replacements for them.
#46 – Learn to play chess – I have learned how, but I’m waiting to play 5 complete games with Dan before I count this as complete. We’re currently 1.5 games in, played the first one with my dad!

The big news of today is that we have joined a CSA (#31). We picked up our first box today but I’ll write more about that later.

See, writing that all down definitely feels like progress.
