101 in 1001 updates
I have crossed a few things off my 101 in 1001 list. This past fall the kids and I went to a corn maze #88. It was loads of fun. They do one at a farm near us each fall and I’ve always wanted to go. This year we finally did. Here is a pic of it:

The other thing I completed was a train ride #95. We did the North Pole Express with the kids. They loved it. Here is a pic of that:

The next thing I’m working on is one of the projects for shift one. To see the project go here.
The third thing I crossed off is #10 getting in touch with an old friend. I recently joined one of the social networking sites and was able to get in touch with an old friend from middle school. She had moved and we had kept in touch for a few years and then lost touch like kids do. But I was so excited to be able to find her again!
I would like to be able to cross off giving blood next month when I go to Boston Children’s with my daughter but I think having iron deficient anemia will prevent me from being able to do that unfortunately. Oh well, maybe the next time we have to go now that we are luckily on the 4-6 month recheck schedule.
My 101 in 1001
I came across these 101 in 1001 lists on others’ blogs and thought they were a neat idea. So I started one of my own. It’s actually a hard thing to come up with 101 things to get done!! The reasons for doing the list etc are on the page that was created for the list so see that page to see why I decided to do it.
So far I have completed a few of the things on it:
The first thing I did was get my ears pierced a second time. I actually miscalculated the time I needed to leave for one of my appointments that was a bit over an hour away and got there 1 1/2 hours early!! Luckily they had a mall nearby so I went there to waste some time. I had been thinking of getting them pierced a second time for a little while so since the opportunity presented itself I took advantage.
The kids and I participated in a grape harvest at our local vineyard. They are only a few years old and need tons of help each year with the harvest. I thought it sounded like a neat idea. The kids and I had so much fun doing it!!
My email contacts list had tons of people that I don’t really email on a regular basis but that I just had their addresses. So I purged and made the list much more manageable. Kind of a dumb task but one that makes things neater and easier for me in the end.
The carpet shampooing…..not something I really wanted to get done right away but Sam decided differently. So as not to give TMI I’ll just say that he thinks being a big boy means that if he accidentally poops in his pull up at nap time he should also clean himself up. And the carpets paid the price!
I’ve also read the first of my 35 books. I love to read but have gotten into a rut of watching too much TV instead. And have taken the kids apple picking the first of 3 times. They love it and we have a great time!
I’ve started working on my 100 things that make me happy list. When I found this task on the net it said it would take approx 3 months to get the list done. I thought that was kinda funny that it would take that long. I sat and immediately got somewhere in the 30’s but then was stuck!! I’m going to create a page for that list too so I can finish working on it.
I plan on blogging about each task as I do it. I’m also going to make the list a bit neater and easier to find specific tasks.
If you don’t have a list of your own you should try coming up with one. The link for more info is on the page for the list.
