So During the Last Year...

I have been horrible at this.


2. Try 12 new-to-me restaurants
Distrito; Saigon Harbor; Percy Street Barbecue; Kaya's.


3. Find out about three interesting foods, seek them out, and try them.
Went to North Carolina to try their version of barbecue. Good stuff!


40. Sort scrapbook supplies and donate the things I don’t use, preferably to people who do therapeutic scrapbooking with MR kids
In the great craft room clean-up, I went through many, many crafting supplies (including the scrapbooks). The organizer I worked with took the supplies and donated them. When she came back, she told me that she had given them to an organization that worked with adults with intellectual disabilities. Serendipity!

50. Finish current WIP—Tree of Life Window
I finished! It is framed and waiting for my MIL to take it to my SIL for their new home!

70. Complete catalog of books
Done!


72. Organize craft room
DONE! I'm not sure that anything I've done has made me happier. My whole house feels cleaner! Now my craft room is a place I can work. I can find all sorts of things in there. It's remarkable.


75. Host three dinner parties 
I threw a fun little party for a friend's birthday last month: white chicken enchiladas, guacamole salad, and margarita cupcakes. Ole!


78. Host five game nights
Just before Christmas we had a couple of friends around for Apples to Apples. It was fun. 


79. Go OUT on a date once a month with the dude (13/33)
We went out to the National Acrobats of China, to the orchestra, and to see Aimee Mann. I'm sure we've gone a few other places, but I seem not to have kept track. 


95. Watch an Eagles game at Lincoln Field
We got a couple of free tickets to a preseason game. What fun! I love the Eagles' little touchdown song; it's so thoroughly dorky. "Fly, Eagles, FlyOn The Road To Victory/Fight Eagles Fight, Score A Touchdown 1-2-3/ Hit 'Em Low/ Hit 'Em High/ And Watch Our Eagles Fly/Fly Eagles Fly, On The Road To Victory/ E-A-G-L-E-S, EAGLES!"


101. Post updates about this list once per month
Well, this hasn't gone so well!
