As I'm back to 50 hour weeks on Long Running Establishment Basic Cable Makeover Show, I haven't had a lot of time lately for the blog. So, sorry about that. In my blur of work, I've also neglected my 101 in 1001. But, sometimes, I've ended up taking care of some of the goals through complete inertia. Observe:
27. Go to a wine tasting.
This happened back in November. Our neighbor and friend Susan had a wine tasting party where everyone brought a bottle of wine, and we all blind tasted to figure out which one was the best. Naturally, the two favorites were either of the cheap variety (around $6/bottle) or moderate ($12/bottle). The really expensive one tasted like bad ass.
59. Utilizing the Entertainment.com book Mitch and Shane got us for Christmas, spend a month using those coupons to get some nice deals on meals... and stuff.
No longer applicable - haven't had the book since 2006. Whoops.
65. Read a biography.
Mitch lent me Dame Judi Dench's biography, which was missing a lot. For example, she's a Quaker, but at no point does she talk about how her being a Quaker affects the decisions on the roles she chooses. Fun but frustrating.
79. Get that rip in my jeans fixed. You know. Those jeans.
I ended up throwing the jeans out anyway. The jeans I get from Target last a long time. The expensive jeans I get from Macy's? Big rip and then I throw them out. Sigh.
85. Take 3 people I haven't e-mailed in a while, and try to keep up a regular correspondence with them.
I can thank Facebook for this. Through that, I've been able to reconnect with a lot of people from high school, college and from Chicago. That, and play Scrabulous to my heart's content.
I have until late September to knock out the rest of this list. Yoinks!
