One minor update.
Number # 67. Drink ONLY 1 soda (or less) a day for 10 days completed. I've been sick the last few days which has made this easier than it normally is. 10 days doesn't sound like very long but for someone who drinks 6 or more cans of soda a day... 10 days is really, really difficult.
20/101 completed
Whew.

Further Changes
Ever since I started knitting last month I've renewed my passion and love for crafts. So I've changed a few goals that I really could care less about to match my new desires.
Changed number 31: Finish stitching my "Weekend A Paris" to "Design my own cross-stitch pattern)
And changed number 83. Write and mail myself a letter to "particpate in a craft swap" (probably through crafster.org
Two small changes but I think it'll make a large difference in how I'm beginning to look at this list. :)

Last Post of the Day...
I'm having some trouble with #47. Pay off credit card balances. To help me with this, I've developed a system. I'm crossing my fingers that it works.
Currently I hve five envelopes... eventually they'll be jars.
1. Crafts
2. Household
3. Pets
4. Wardrobe & Accessories
5. Sewing Machine
Okay, okay, maybe having five is too many but oh well.
Every paycheck I get to put $20-$60 (starting with the 20s now and eventually moving up in amounts until my credit cards are paid off) into ANY of these five envelopes that I choose... depending on what my obcession for the week is. If I just put the money in a regular savings envelope/jar I might spend all the money on crafts and none on pets, etc.
THIS way... I'll have funding for the things that I want and won't be using my credit cards now. I should be able to pay off the bulk of it (like 95% of it with my tax refund but I have yet to do my taxes... hopefully next weekend). I removed my credit cards from my wallet and put them away with my passport and my dorminat cards from Michigan.
This'll help me save up for the things that I want (I love crafts, I want a pet but have no money, I'd love to upgrade my wardrobe, etc.) My obcessions vary from week to week and where I want to spend my money varies from week to week. So if one week I'm desperate to own a sewing machine that money will go there, etc.
I think the majority of it will go into crafts, sewing machine, and wardrobe for the next couple of weeks. The sewing machine being number 1 probably... but these things are so darn expensive.
Well we'll see how it goes... I'm off to apply for a second job followed by summer jobs.

Still Working on it...
I SHOULD be lesson planning today but screw it all... I'm finishing up some of my almost done projects for my 101 project.
90. Organize my recipe book - - COMPLETE! I have a SLEW of photographs of my cookbook. I am SUPER excited that this is done. Now that all my old recipes are organized I can start adding new ones!
I had over 20 photos to share... but decided I had to limit it to my favorites! :(
This is the cover. Its just held into a nice black binder, as I want my cookbook to be flexable and easy to add to and change. It says "There's No Place Like Home."
I DO have a table of contents but its not the prettiest page... so I'm not posting it. ;p. I used tab dividers I created to divide it up into the different sections that I need.
And SOME of the pages:
This thing is HUGE! I'll probably need to break it up into a few smaller binders at some point... but that's another project.
Completed: 19/101

Photos as Promised
Pecan Walnut Salad AND the dressing:
Closeup of the Salad:
YUM! YUM! YUM!
My Shawl (laid out nicely):
I tried to take a picture of me when I was wearing it:
And finally... the fringe in action! (Shockingly the fringe was the hardest part!)

Another One Down!
54. File all unfiled paperwork at home (and keep up with it!)
Filed ALL unfiled paperwork AND cleaned up the area around the desk to help me keep up with filing paperwork away right away. I created a nice in/out system, using regular black baskets (from the dollar store).
Whew! I've been working like crazy today.
18/101 Complete!
