My New Bloggity Blog...

I feel like I occasionally am neglecting my 101 in 1001 blog, I try to reassure myself that it must be because I am so busy completing things on my list! (or not) I did accomplish one really big task on my list that I was not sure if it was possible or not....I did not buy any clothing for 1 whole month!!! For those of you who know me, that is a really big accomplishment. Spending my weekends at the mall for work does not help my shopping addiction any...I blame work for my love of shopping :)

Also, this past weekend Kaye (from Sears) convinced me to split a sandwich with her from Jimmy John's....we had a Beach Bum...as she described it I was wondering what I was getting into...it had avocado and bean sprouts and lettuce and cheese and turkey and whole wheat bread. It was actually really delicious. I am glad I decided to finally try it.

These are my recently worked on/completed items:
#43-Old Chicago, Dairy Queen, Jimmy Johns, Ihop, Old Chicago
#57-Senior Skip Day, Confessions of a Shopaholic, Breakfast Club, My Best Friend's Girl
#80-photographing my tasks as I complete them is in progress, but is challenging to always remember, but I will consider it officially in progress...
#84-Didn't buy any clothes from August 25, 2009 to September 25, 2009...really surprising that I made it...did go shopping on September 26, 2009 :)
#98-Saved $5 for completing #84

Keeping Busy...

I have been staying plenty busy between school, work, photography, Tj, and lots of homework. I always keep in the back of my mind...what little thing could I do today to mark something off my list...well somehow I keep getting things done...which makes me feel really good!

Recently Worked on Items:
#11-talked to my brother for some technical assistance for my computer
#35-Photography Workshop--APW VII--didn't think I would get to attend anymore of these, but very thankful for getting to
#37-Baked cupcakes for Melanie's last day @ Sears
#43-McAlisters, Hunam, and Chilis
#47-had an opportunity to work on this one with the mushrooms, but my stomach was not up for the challenge yet...I know it's a mental thing
#97-Saved $100 ($50 for August and $50 for September)
#98-Saved $10 for completing two items (#35 & #37)

9-1-2009 Lunch Date with Monica

So, Monica and I have officially decided to make Tuesdays our weekly lunch date day. That doesn't mean we can't go eat together on other days, that is just the one that we have reserved officially. It was Monica's turn to pick where we went and she chose La Fiesta. I would have to say we are frequent visitors there and it is sad when the wait staff knows you enough that they say hi and great you when they walk by the tables. Our waiter this time could use some improvements.....on our check they have nicknamed him Pancho....and he attempted to talk with a Spanish accent...it did not work for him!!! Monica had her usual 2 beef tacos and I decided to mix it up this time....I normally would order the "Speddy" but I went with a cheese quesadilla, taco and rice this time.

My Meal...yum:

Just Trucking Along on My List...

I really probably should be doing something more productive with my time right now...but instead I thought it would be more important to make sure I keep track of what I have done on my list lately. So, for now I will consider these items still to be blogged about...

#3--Lunch with Monica @ La Fiesta
#6--Date night with Tj to The Goods
#43--La Fiesta and Hu Hot
#57--The Goods

101 Update....This takes some focus...

I realized when I decided to make this list, it would be a lot of work to accomplish the tasks I have on my list....how to space them out, paying attention enough to keep track of them, taking pictures of the tasks, etc. I inadvertantly worked on a couple of things on my list this weekend. My grandparents celebrated their 50th Wedding anniversary this past Sunday by having a get together on Saturday in Garden City. I had a great time getting to see family and take lots of pictures while I was there. I even got Tj to go along for the ride and help out. My mom and I were in charge of the table decorations and those seemed to work out better than I could have ever planned. The day just seemed to go so smoothly and it was great. So once again, Congratulations Grandma and Grandpa on 50 years of marriage!!!

These are the tasks I worked on these past couple of days:
#13 Family Pictures
#42 Las Margaritas in Garden City, KS
#43 The Chef with Kayla

I have pictures that go along with these and will post them either later today or tomorrow!
