101 Things in 1001 Days: Update

Lazy. That was me at the end of 2010. I totally ignored my 101 goals and ate too much holiday pies instead. So when 2011 rolled around, I resolved to get serious about accomplishing some of the items on my list.

Nothing motivates this girl like a list. Nothing.

Here's what I've been up to this year, so far...

#10. Have a photo shoot done by Mallory. (1/30)

We've been trying to get this done since Hinder was in utero. I'm so glad we finally buckled down and got it done.

#45. Make homemade Valentine cards. (2/8)

Thank goodness for the cricut my mom-in-law got me, because I would have carpal tunnel right now if I attempted to cut all of that out by hand.

#47. Paint a picture on canvas. (2/11)

A first attempt at painting.
We're getting ready for painting session #2 this weekend. Watercolors this time! I'm beside myself with excitement.

53. Go one month without candy, cookies, cake, ice cream, or anything else delicious. (Jan 2011)

Being a hardcore sugar addict, this was a tough one. My poor husband suffered the brunt of my withdrawls. Cranky. And maybe a little verbally abusive.
69. Eat at the Idaho Falls temple cafeteria. (2/26)

Glorious prime rib. Need I say more?

74.Experience a horse drawn carriage ride. (1/29)

I got lucky on this one. They had these free rides going on in the park by our house one random afternoon. Hinder insisted we ride four times, and I didn't object.

94. Finish the State Quarter collection.(2/19)

I have been working on this silly collection since 1998. 1998! That's more than a few years. And for he past 3 years, the only quarter missing was Hawaii. Finally, we broke down, traded in a ten dollar bill for a roll of quarters, and found the darn thing.

It's nice to have that monkey off my back.

So far so good for 2011.
