update on 101 things to do in 1001 days

11
I'm more than half way through my 1001 days to do 101 things. Looking at the list now, more than 1.5 years later, there are things that i don't care to do, and things that i know i won't be able to do. 

Hopefully i'll be able to get at least half of my list done before my 1001 days are up. 

#8 Have a happy, healthy baby - We had a beautiful baby boy, May 4, 2012 :)

#11 get an outdoor clothing line - We found a $4 clothing line that we were able to set up to go across our patio. No exactly what had in mind, and it doesn't hold towels or anything too heavy, but it does the job.

#19 -
learn to make egg subji - Done. I've made it twice now. 1st time, turned out great, but a little too spicy for my liking. 2nd time, turned out ok. I didn't add enough spices, worried i would make it too spicy again. My guess is that the 3rd time will be the best!

#26
take my brothers camping - The September 2011 long weekend, we barley got a camping spot up at Chilliwack Lake. We ended up camping in the "over flow" camping spots, with some other family members. It ended up being a great spot with more privacy then the normal spots.

#28 s
ee Mary Poppins the musical (for the 2nd time) - Thankfully the musical was on tour and stopped in Seattle May 2011. We made a weekend of it and also managed to get in some shopping.

#47 Drink 8 glasses of water a day for 21 days - Definitely done while pregnant!



#54 use Nintendo Wii for 1 month for at least 15 min a day - February 2011! I managed to do it every day! Some days i had to force myself to do the 15 minutes, other days i'd do it a lot more. 

#57 shadow a photographer for a day or two -I purchased Jasmine Star's 4 day online photography class. The class followed her for 4 days: 2 days before, day of, and day after a wedding and what her process is plus tips on how to shoot.


#71 -
take little brothers on weekend get away - We took them to Seattle for the weekend in September where we shopped, visited Pike Place, and learned to make our own glass ornaments at a glass blowing place.



#74 Bring/Send flowers to a friend for no reason - flowers bought for 2 co-workers.

#83 -
ride a parade float - June 2011 i played the role as "The Teacher" on the Rainbow Food and Gas float in Yarrow Days parade. The float was school themed to celebrate the building of a new elementary school.#87 use re-usable bags for 6 months straight - Started Aug 8, 2010 - pretty sure i did it for more then 6 months. I did pretty bad during this Christmas holiday, but i am back on track.


#95 write letter to future self - I didn't really write a letter, more like point form things i want to keep in mind when parenting. (ex. remember to be present)

#96 -
go to the movies by myself - I went to a movie i thought my husband would hate and that I could wait a few weeks after the rush to go and see. Twilight saga: eclipse! It was great, and i didn't feel as uncomfortable as i thought i would going by myself. 

#98 Do 3 puzzles - Done!! Christmas break is the perfect time to sit at the table with pumpkin spiced latte and do a puzzle.
