So, yeah, I should've done this a couple months ago. Technically, my 1001 days were up on May 30. I've noticed some decline in my habits since I stopped maintaining a list, so I want to start up a new one and get back on track, but that requires first tying up the old one, taking stock of how well the first run through went ( Read more... )

6. Cook a dozen different soups. (25%)We've been making soup almost every week for the past couple of months. I'm not going to count the ones Justin's made on his own, just the ones that we've done together. So far, we've made turkey and meatball soup, mushroom farro soup and red lentil soup. It gives us something to pack for lunch throughout the ( Read more... )

I'm just about 70% through my 1001 days, and I've completed about 46% of my 101 things, including partial progress on some goals. Like these first:

21. Lose 100 pounds.
Down 57 pounds (57%), which is two more pounds this month. Not the progress I wanted, but... there was stress and vacation and... well, I'm surprised I didn't go up instead.

45. ( Read more... )

1. Eat 20 home-cooked dinners in one month. - COMPLETE!!This one has been difficult, but we started budgeting... and realized where we could save the most money was on food given that we were eating out for both lunch and dinner most days. This month, we saved at least $200 just by cooking at home and packing lunches some days. I've also lost ( Read more... )

Been a busy couple of months. I've been way more social than I can usually manage, which has left me a bit frazzled, but mostly happy. I was recently able to enjoy one of the items which was on early iterations of my list that didn't stick around to the current one; it was wonderfully enjoyable, and I'm glad to have done it, even if I don't get ( Read more... )

I've been bad about updating. I've been feeling kind of crumby all week. There was a sick day and a trip to the dentist. Still, I've made some progress.

• 45. I watched a TEDtalk on creativity which I really enjoyed. You should watch it, too.
• 48. I am almost done with the metagame pregame stuff. Just one more faction to go. But I really do mean to ( Read more... )

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I stumbled last week on the update. Life's been weird. We have a new roommate (as of the weekend just before the last update), who is currently sleeping in our living room until she gets a job and we get the second bedroom fixed up for her. This makes life really strange. Routine's a little more difficult than usual. That said ( Read more... )

I had intended to run these updates on Friday, but Tuesday seems to be the day I get around to them. Lots done this week!

• #61 has been checked off the list entirely. Justin put a new knob on the door. Yay!
• That means I put $10 into savings today, per #67.
• Car (barely) and friday have both been cleaned out for the month. (#56 & #57)
• Laundry has been ( Read more... )
