Did it get done?

Well, I can't say I got the whole list done.  I got a lot done but life gets in the way.  Enough excuses now for the update:

1.  I wrote my exam for the course I took.  I answered all the questions.  Now I wait and see what my mark turns out to be....and I may not know until January.

2. I painted my kitchen....It looks great.

3.  I have put up about 1/2 of my holiday decorations.  Having a very small apartment means that everything takes a little longer to find a place for, to put away what was there and to make sure everything is put back in storage.

4.  I have not wrapped any more gifts than I had wrapped when the list started. I have since purchased more so now I am even further behind. This task has a deadline so it will be done by the 25th.

5.  Organizing my apartment seems to be the never ending chore and will probably be on this list unti the end of time.  If it ever comes off the list I will be very excited.

6.  The baking has begun.  I hit a couple bumps at the beginning. I didn't take a good inventory of the ingredients I had so I had to make the last minute trip out for a couple things. I did find out that you can make gingerbread cookies without the vanilla it calls for and you can't even tell in the taste.  I also had never baked in my micro size kitchen so I had to find the rhythm and right set up.  I added my little bistro table by the window and that gave me enough space for extra ingredients and tools.


7. I still haven't located the papers I was looking for or organized a single thing for taxes.  This will have to stay on the list.  No one really believed I would have taxes organized already, did they?

8.  The apartment is definitely coming along but in the previous #3 and #5 we will see that one step forward seems to make one step back so I am not really getting ahead....but it is livable so for now I will be grateful.

9.  I got help and the stereo is set up to work with my blackberry and my laptop so now I can watch Breakfast Television on my laptop in surround sound.

10.  I got my secret sister gift although the pointsettia was late arriving so she didn't get that one.  I gave it to my mom for her secret sister.....surprise!

I did not even start on #7 but 9 out of 10 is pretty good for a procrastinator. A good experiment and a great outcome.

Week 2: Monday-Thursday

Day 5:  NO spending day.  It was a quiet Monday. Day 6:  I spent approx $6.00 to fill a prescription. I should probably update you on another goal I had for this year.  I have been trying to make it to the gym twice a week since January.  It doesn't seem like a big goal but some weeks it is tough. Truthfully I haven't made it even once in the last  two weeks but I got back on track today with a bootcamp class at the YMCA I go to.  Although I am not noticing much difference in my weight or how I look I have noticed a substantial difference in how I feel......GREAT!  I am also hoping it will translate into an improved softball season. I may never be in the shape I was at 20 again but I can certainly try and be closer than I am now. Today was also lunch date day.....my coworker brought pulled pork sandwiches with carrot stick and cherry tomatoes.  She also made chocolate peanut butter squares....ummm delicious.  I will have to get that ...

So This is Christmas

So this is Christmas And what have you done? Another year over And a new one just begun And so this is Christmas I hope you have fun The near and the dear one The old and the young A very merry Christmas And a happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one Without any fear And so this is Christmas For weak and for strong For rich and the poor ones The world is so wrong And so happy Christmas For black and for white For yellow and red ones Let's stop all the fight I was reminded of this song at a dinner theatre I went to on Monday so I looked it up and here it is.  It is amazing that a song written so many years ago is still so relevant today.  You would think with evolution and technology and all the advances of today's world there would be no validity in songs like this.  Wrong! I only hope that we as citizens of the world can join forces as one in time to save ourselves.

I am cooking from the ingredients I have!

I found a website that allows you to put in the ingredients you have in your kitchen and then gives you recipes to use them.  I have added the gadget to my blog if you want to check out how it works.  I am going to try it because I am always trying to find new ways to prepare all the things I like to eat in my kitchen.  It takes recipes from a multitude of good cooking sites such as Martha Stewart, Epicurious, All recipes and more. this week I will try the puffed pancake with strawberries and I don't have to check because Supercook already figured that out for me......
