living lots...just not writing much!

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.
