Day One: December 29, 2009

So I started a little early. Like I said, some of these things are simple tasks and really….why wait?

34. Try a new food

I tried real sushi for the first time yesterday! I mean, I’ve had sushi before but always the veggie or cooked stuff, yesterday I actually ate one with raw salmon on it! Granted, it was a VERY thin slice and was disguised by the avocado and cream cheese but it was ON there, so I’m counting it! Felisha and Melanie took me to lunch at their favorite spot and I decided to be adventurous and you know what? It actually wasn’t too bad! I might even try something different next time. :-)

42. Fill my charm bracelet (2/12)

OK so I set a limit of 12 new charms to fill my bracelet. (That of course is my rationing myself to only buy one per month. I could SOOOO get myself in trouble doing it all at once otherwise.) I obviously am not limiting myself to that number and will always accept gifts, so hopefully it’ll be more by next December. I’m already off to a great start ~ I put picked up my bracelet today with 2 new charms on it! :-) One I got from my sister for my birthday, it’s a heart that says “Big Sister” and the other….YES I bought for myself! It is XOXO. Two down ten to go…and REMEMBER ~ I accept gifts! ;-)

62. Try each type of cheesecake on the menu at Cheesecake Factory (2/32)

OK I already started this one this week too, but I counts! It’s my list, I can make the rules :P Anyway, my sister and I went to Cheesecake Factory for dinner the other night and then walked across the street to see Sherlock Holmes (I’m not counting that toward #61). We split a meal and then each ordered a different kind of cheesecake to share. Of course we were already stuffed from dinner and got it to go, but how can you NOT get cheesecake when you go to the Cheesecake Factory? It’s against the rules! Anyway we ate it when we got home. We tried the Banana Cream and the Dolce de Leche ~ they were BOTH to die for! YUM!

Today I didn’t really do anything from the list, I ran errands and did a little shopping to waste time, driving around Dallas in the snow. Yes SNOW in Dallas! I know, crazy. Unfortunately, it did not snow/stick quite enough to make a snow angel, so #51 goes unfulfilled….for now.
