I have a young cat who is informally named Pest. But he's no longer a kitten, so I wonder if he should be renamed to something classier, like Pestilence. Your thoughts?

#25. Start my 401k
It was set up last night, once my benefits were online. I hate to admit this, but I made Chris do the dirty work because I was both distracted and lazy. My first paycheck comes in either today or July 15th, so until then it's just a framework with 0 balance.

#23. Get down to my goal weightWho else is laughing at me for this ( Read more... )

It's hard to make a personal mission about someone else, so when I approached the subject (not to him!) I decided to make it light and reasonable. I've long lamented these two subjects.

#80. Get Chris to eat seafood willingly at least onceThe other day, Chris and I went on a late night dinner in Palestine, and I tried a fried shrimp appetizer ( Read more... )

I haven't actually accomplished this one within the span of time allowed, but the point was to force myself to learn to do some of the things my mother did with sewing. Every item of garb I own I got from her. I designed most of them, by my mother's brain pieced it together in three dimensions. All I could do was draw and sketch. I wanted to ( Read more... )

Completed last night around 1 freaking am. Most people probably wouldn't care, but I'm anal retentive, and have been using the same collection of bookmarks since the 1990's.

It's official! I've been hired! My start date is June 28th. *Squee*

Call me if you want details.

#26. Reshape and LIVE by my budget: Believe it or not, I'm actually pretty good at this. I'm calling this done as of June 11th, 2010. I have lived by my budget since I got my job with the bank (as evidence by saving up a down payment so quickly) and even after, when my parents died, I managed not to totally screw everything up, despite there ( Read more... )

I didn't widely publish this, but I went on a roadtrip. I left April 23, and returned June 4th. I drove from Texas, to Florida, to Maine, to Ohio, then back to Texas. Call it epic, both in time, scale, and effort. I do. I also did it alone, just me and my car and my credit card ( Read more... )

I need help.

I need a house sitter, who can stay in my house in Plano/Dallas. I need someone who can feed cats, rabbits, and clean their kitty/bunny litter while I'm gone. I need someone who is willing to work with me.  I need someone who won't steal from me, like the other house sitter I had.    I need someone who I can reach easily, instead of ( Read more... )
