101 update

It's been awhile since I've updated, but I can honestly say I have been conciusly working on my list. I will start from the top and work my way down:

1. I did weekly menus for a month and then quit, so I am starting over and hope to carry it into the new year. I notice that my money is gone faster when I don't have the menus.
6. Didn't happen - so I am officially changing it to say "Lose 2 dress sizes for a beach trip at Christmas" here's hoping sitting on the couch makes this happen ;)
11. foot and ankles (soon to be cankles if I don't move my arse) are rehabbed and I will be adding a marathon in here as soon as I complete one. So #11 done!! Darn #92 is run a marathon...I better start working on it
14. done - I haven't told her, I don't think she even knows, but I've finally dealt with it and I'm over it.
23. Blogging was going so well and then boom, life happened.
25. DONE!! yipee!! only in the works for 3 years. please take a peek yourself
27. DONE and denied again. Darn you Department of Aging and Disability. Apparently, I didn't sign one of my 1000 triplicate forms. I am signing up for the class again. I am NOT a quitter.
35. It's not going to happen - need to think of a replacement item. Too much time working on Mission Road Ministries Shindig for a new non-profit.
36. Plans are still in the works and I have a verbal committment from a great and famous local business owner for assistance
38. DONE - check the family blog for our dog rescue story
44. DONE and it is dead already, so we will start again in March - we enjoyed the "fruits" of our labor.
45. DONE - only the basil remains and some lavendar
46. Triple DONE - we have 4 mango trees in the works. We are hoping they make it through the "winter" (transaltion - an occasional 60 degree day)
50. DONE - back in July woot! woot! This was not as easy as the guys at Home Depot said it was, but it was well worth it and I think this helps towards #8 - reducing my carbon footprint.
52. Once #50 was completed, we did the last wall in the garage. We found a dead mice. yuk
54. we continue to do this - you have to with 5 kids. I will start updating the family blog with pictures.
55. All kids are in activities - whoa! this is hard. My hats off to stay at home moms and dads. Managing this family leaves little time for work.
61. DONE - the boy needed glasses. Last year he had long hair and wore black all the time. This year, he wears his khakis, glasses and collared shirts like a prep from Abercrombie & Fitch - I think I like the all black look better :/
64. in progress - I think I have some very smart kids. They are teaching themselves (Alex and Frank). They download free sheet music. Alex learns by reading the music and Frank can pick up by ear.
66. Done - but another way, finally went to the doctor
67. Didn't happen. I've seen her and talk to her, but I haven't gone to her and I need to. Will change the goal to a new date.
72. Didn't happen and now I need a new one here too
75. Done - finally, only took the DOW tanking for me to do it. As Warren Buffet say, BUY BUY BUY
76. Not sure how I am going to update the savings account for the ones that are done. I've only put $25 in and will need to do a serious transfer. Anyone need to hire an event planner?
77. Not even close to completing this one. How freaking hard is to have a no spend day - VERY, when you have 5 kids.
86. Done - it was my birthday gift from the hubby and I love it! I love it! I love it!
87. Done - and I will extend to January 09. boo hoo hoo!
98. Sort of done - we did the bathroom at Mom and Dad's house, not vacation house, does that count? The vacation house bathroom is almost done. . . . . . . I'm going to mark this done.
100. Not going to happen, Ken is not very friendly. Last name removed to protect the guilty.
