46. Cook something new every month

Mmmm, chilli! My first attempt at cooking something new! Turkey chilli from a recipe on the back of a bean can. A mixed it up a bit and changed a few things in it. It turned out really good!!! I was proud of myself. Nothing like a little Southwestern style chilli to warm up a snowy night.

39. Read 101 non-school related books

1 down, 100 to go. My first book read is Cesar's Way by Cesar Millan. It's not The Great Gatsby or anything but it sure has some insights on how to live with dogs. Me and my dog have a struggle for power in the house, but no more! I shall be the pack leader!! Calm assertive - that's me! LOL - ok, so it's like a style of brainwashing but so far Brinkley seems to be catching on. Our walks are becoming more and more enjoyable.

83. Buy something from Victoria's Secret

I'm a girl of comfort and simplicity so the whole concept of all those options, colors, and functions that glare at you from the windows of Victoria's Secret all seemed a tad overkill and unnecessary. Years of avoidance made my shopping trip to VS quite the adventure. It turned out to be more fun than I had expected and I can say now that I'm the proud owner of one of those pink striped bags because I actually did buy stuff! I'll probably go back at some point. I kind of ran out of time the day I was there! All those options, colors, and functions mean that there is definitely a lot to look at while you're there!
