List Edits

I was reading through my list, and realized that there were a few that were definitely not going to get done - they just aren't feasible.  So I made some changes, and made some updates.

#4- completed today! My bff from college saw my blog, liked the idea of the list, and decided to make one herself! Total win!

#14 - we aren't going to have enough extra money in the next year or two to go on a cruise, so now the new goal is to make the drive to Iowa at some point and visit Chris' parents. It is in the works, but we gotta make it happen

#53- instead of going a day without sweets, I want to give up sweets completely.  I am sick of how I feel when I go overboard, I am sick of the fact that once I start, I have a hard time stopping.  I don't need to be eating sweets, and if I can give them up, I can probably drop a few more inches.  Awesome.  Here we go

#78- can't do a change jar- we never carry cash.  So instead, I want to go a week without eating out.  We have a really hard time with that, and I think if we can go a week, it will get us on our way to stopping going out completely.

#82- send 20 "just because" cards- I don't know who I'd send them to, or when I'd send them... so instead I am going to write a list of things I like, one for every letter of the alphabet.  Not things I like about myself, just things I like.  A slight variation on my 100 things that make me happy, but here's the kicker - there can be no crossover.  Tricky tricky! :-D

#91 - Keep the address book updated- I am so anal retentive that wasn't really a challenge.  So I changed that to add 20 new recipes to the recipe  box.  I dont' normally go search out new recipes, and if I find them, I don't copy them down so we can try them.  So I want to change that.  New recipes, put them in the box so they are handy, and give them a shot.

#92 - Get addresses from school friends - again, not a challenge.  So instead, I made it a fun task.  Spend the day on the beach.  I probably won't get to do this one with Chris because he doesn't like to just lay there, so it may have to be a girls trip, but I am going to do it, going to make it happen. :-D

#98- Instead of having a 15 minute phone conversation in Spanish, I started a blog in Spanish to keep up the language.  I figure it is a better way to practice than just one phone conversation.  Oh the things that arise from the desire to write a research paper :)
