July Review

I haven't been well so not much has gotten done. I have kept up with three ongoing items though.
77. Write a note to my grandmothers each month
86. Try to be more positive-- At the end of each day, take five minutes to write down in a journal every good thing I did or experienced that day.
100. Talk to my mother on the phone—or in person—weekly

For our anniversary on the 14th, the dude and I went to a new to us restaurant (#2). We had heard great things about the homemade spaghetti at this little pizza joint near us. They only serve it on Sundays and Tuesdays. So we popped over and tried it for ourselves. Oh, mama! Good stuff.

I did manage to get to the library for #22 Take a cookbook out of the library every other month and make two dishes from each
I checked out Ina Garten's Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics. Unfortunately, because I have been sick, I haven't been cooking much. Now that I am on the mend, I'm looking for my dishes. I figure if I make them before it's time to take out the next book, I'm right on track.

Not a great month, but since it was more like two weeks, I'll take it.
