Update

#45 and #46 - Cook/Bake something new every month - I've been trying new things at random, not necessarily once a month. I've made a few different versions of chilli that has all been yummy. I made a pork tenderloin roast and diced yukon potatoes one night. I have photos - if I can find them on the computer, I'll post them someday. I made peanut butter fudge for the holidays and also some german chocolate butterscotch chip cookies. I also made some crinkle cookie type things. I got a standup mixer for Christmas, so I should be able to bake up a storm now!

#62 - Paint Brinkley a Treat Jar - In addition to painting Brent a plate and Christmas ornament, I also painted Brinkley's treat jar. It's not completely finished. I need one more trip to the pottery place and then it needs fired before it will be finished. Once it's done, I'll post a picture!

#89 - Replace my car windshield - I have the money set aside to do this in spring!! I'm excited - the crack has gotten longer and longer! My car rolled over 50,000 miles a few weeks ago. I celebrated by giving it new tires! Woohoo!

#3 Learn Pilates - I have a DVD that I've been doing a few times a week. It's only one 15 minute segment that I keep repeating. I have 10 different options on the DVD though so I think I should branch out a bit now that I'm getting the hang of it! I'm not sure if I'll consider this goal complete or not. I think I'll wait until I've tried all of the segments and have been doing it more than the one segment consistently for a few months. In progress should count for something though!

#39 - Read 101 non-school related books - This has been the one that is haunting me. I have so much studying to do that I can seem to crack a book that doesn't have anything to do with comps in spring. I started reading Pork Chop Hill last week but have yet to finish the introduction. Blech. I miss leisure reading.
