It has been sometime since I’ve put up a blog post. Its not
that I haven’t been working on the list I just haven’t been writing about it.
Here is a bit of an update. I’m feeling rejuvenated with signs of spring in the
air and hopeful I’ll be a bit more motivated to do some writing about my
adventures.
#3 and #4 (Quality time with friends and family and Emma and
Dustin). I can honestly say this winter has been great for that. I’ve got to
spend lots of time with the kids and have had some great time with friends.
Over Easter I travelled home with Elizabeth, Dean and the kids…it was a
different kind of vacation with those two in tow but we sure had a great time
with all of us at mom and dads
#9 (go on a cycling trip) Dad and I are well on our way to
planning a cycling trip. We are going to bike a portion of the confederation
trail in PEI the first week of July. We both have some work to do to get in
better shape for it though.
#12 (read 12 thought provoking books) I read 2 books this
winter that fit the thought provoking category-
I am Malala and Lean
In. Both were excellent books.
#15 (Learn about Wine) I’m not sure I am learning a lot but
I certainly have been drinking my fair share. I’ve started always trying a new
wine when I go to the liquor store and keeping track of some of my new
favorites.
#19 (Refinish a piece of furniture) I bought a wing back
chair at a local yard sale that I plan to reupholster.
#22 (do a 365 photo
project) I started this on my birthday and have been doing well so far. I only
post them on Facebook every couple of days but so far have taken a photo
everyday.
#23 Go on 10 dates with 10 new people or find true love… I
have checked this one off J
after only one date (well a number of dates with the same guy) I found love!
# 25 (no coffee to go for one year) I am failing miserably
with this…I’ve still been buying coffee to go more than I had planned. I would
argue that it is often still within the rules that I said I would allow but its
still been more than planned. Hopefully spring will help this, I tend to get up
earlier in the morning when the weather is nicer so there might be more time to
make coffee when I need it and I’m less likely to want a tea in the afternoon.
#26 I managed to go one whole moth without shopping. Those
who know me understand that’s a pretty big accomplishment.
So there you have it…the list has been coming along even the
blog has been stagnant for sometime!
Here are some photos of the last few months.
