Day 68: March 8, 2010

I have a lot of personal drama going on in my life right now, but I’m still trying to be positive and have fun this year. I’m tired of being boring and sitting home with nothing to do on the weekends. I know that God will bring me through any trial and that He has a plan, but in the meantime I’ll live for today and trust Him with the rest.



Anyway…I tried not to wait so long to do some stuff on my list this week, nor to make you wait so long to hear about it. : )


61. Go see a movie in the theater once a month (3/12)


I went and saw Alice In Wonderland with a girlfriend. It was a SERIOUS trip! But I guess you can expect nothing less than that from Tim Burton and Johnny Depp. I liked it, didn’t love it, don’t have to see it again, but it was good.


I know this is extra info, but after the movie we went to downtown Dallas and had dinner and then went dancing at a popular, trendy club. Had a blast and should do that more often!


62. Try each type of cheesecake on the menu at Cheesecake Factory (4/32)


This week I went out to dinner with my mom. We went to Cheesecake Factory and tried 2 more flavors and split. She ordered the Tirami Su cheesecake and I had the Red Velvet cheesecake. They were both AWESOME!!! Like seriously, cheesecake orgasm!


88. Tell people I love them and not assume they know


I made an effort to do this more this week. I hid a note in my daughters lunch box one day and told my sister, dad and even some close friends. : )


89. Go to the park and swing on the swing set


The weather was GORGEOUS in North Texas this week. Of course it only lasted 3 days and now it’s raining again :-S Anyway, it was sunny and like 70* on Friday so I went to the park by myself before all the schools let out and got on the swing set! I hadn’t done that in way too long and it was FUN! : ) I went as high as I could go and dropped my tummy on the ground! I stayed out there for like 45 minutes until school let out and some little girls came and gave me ugly looks for hogging a swing. I relented and got off, but not without an internal temper tantrum about it! Hahaha :P


91. Listen to my entire iTunes library (currently 3170 songs)


Still plugging along at this one. I’ve only added 11 songs this week so I’m up to a total library of 3339 but in listening thru, I’ve only got 1563 left. Today’s playlist has included all old stuff: Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, Frank Sinatra, Lynard Skynard, Stone Temple Pilots, Alice In Chains and Prince. I see that I have more Bon Jovi and lots of Beatles coming up… a couple of my faves! : )


98. Remember to use my green grocery bags


I have STUNK at this so far! Last night I went and actually REMEMBERED all by myself and opened the back of my car to get them on the way INTO the store! Only to find that someone had taken them out when they borrowed my car this past week. So dang it my good intentions were for naught. I SWEAR I’m gonna get into this habit if it kills me!



So I feel like I'm not getting very far on my list....I need to be able to MARK STUFF OFF  to feel like I've accomplished anything. :-/  But I'm going to keep thinking positivie because actually I have a LOT of ongoing type tasks on here and I really have done a lot.

And while I'm at it....I'm going to plug an awesome, uplifting blog.  Check it out!
