tyb30 - july update
alright, an update for you. :)
1: take 2900 photos. 1663 as of july 25. it's also been commented that i should choose my 29 favorite photos out of the 2900 total. i like this idea. :)
2: visit two places i've never been before. pittsburgh! michigan! south dakota!
3: finish two quilts. alicia's is done!
4: make/recycle/customize a table for the living room.
5: avoid deep-fried vegetables. the french fry embargo officially started may 1. so far, so good. although it did occur to me as i was eating some potato chips that technically they're off limits, too. but i was already eating them, so what was i going to do?
6: watch the entire 'friends' series. on season six, disc one.
7: send out Christmas cards.
8: tackle another month of 1000 photographs. i am tackling this in july. currently it's the 25th and i've already taken 948 photos. i think i'll create a little space on my flickr account for them. now, in fairness, some of the photos taken with my camera last night were taken by beth ... but i did my best to pull out the ones i think she shot. some of hers may have slipped through, as we were both shooting photos of the rail cats players. but i'm crediting her with all the rohde shots, and i'm taking most of the wallace ones. :) i'll just aim to have over 1000 photos to make up for any overlap.
9: put together the fortune journal.
10: surprise! this is my artwork in the living room. it's done ... but i can't post photos until tomorrow. :)
11: send a piece of real mail each month. june - sent & received! july - sent & received!
12: watch all of Alan Alda's movies available from netflix. i watched purlie victorious (alan alda's first film) a couple weeks ago - worth watching for his ridiculous georgia accent. but once you've heard the accent, you can turn it off. ;) i've currently got the mephisto waltz sitting in my office.
13: try a muffuletta from at least two restaurants other than three floyd's.
14: host a ladies' night at the new house.
15: get my own place. done! haven't you invited yourself over yet?
16: plantumentary. officially started june 21. i think i may make a little spot on flickr for this, too. we'll see.
17: get my blog archives under control with yearly headers. workin' on it.
18: don't plug in my tv until goal #3 is accomplished. so far so good.
19: try to grow some vegetables. two tomato plants & a pepper plant are planted, however, my resident mole seems to enjoy tunneling through their area. so i'm not sure they'll make it.
20: read a book. i've started 'the complete persepolis'.
21: put up a Christmas tree.
22: get my nose pierced. done on the fifth of july! and by a very nice looking man, if i do say so myself.
23: update my portfolio. i have been giving this some thought. i grabbed a bunch of files from work - now i just need to get the site updated.
24: screen print a t-shirt. i have a plan ... :)
25: bike ten miles.
26: create artwork for the office. i haven't thought much about the artwork ... but i think i found some fabulous fabric to make curtains out of.
27: go two weeks without obvious processed sugars. yeah, this currently conflicts with my summer of ice cream. it'll have to wait until october or november.
28: Christmas surprise.
29: have breakfast at lynn's paradise cafe.

We can help you with #13 while you're out here in August!
We could also help you with #25, but you'd have to get your bike out here, which I wouldn't recommend. Or, we could find one for you to ride somehow. Have I mentioned that we have a wonderful trail system within Fort Collins?
Now that I think about it, would there be room in your car/trunk to take off the wheels and toss it in for the ride?
bike ride suggestion: screw biking in colorado, there's mountains all over the place there! Instead, try the lake shore paths in chicago. And if you wanted, you could rent a bike from millenium park instead of trying to get your bike up there. Lake on one side, city on the other, travelling through the parks and beaches.
i'm not sure i understand your progress on #6 given your claim to being on top of #18.
By the way, i have taken 2255 photos this year so far. :-) i love the idea of picking your favourite 29 out of the 2900! That had better be a post in and of itself.
