General Update

11. Get into work by 8:00 for an entire week - Done! Forgot this was on the list, I've been doing this for a number of weeks now.

12. Take at least one day off a year where I sit at home and do nothing productive - Done! Took July 3rd off, thinking we might do something, but didn't, it was great.

25. Throw a party - Done! (John's birthday)

53. Turn the guest room into an actual Guest Room instead of a storage room with a bed - This has been done for a while, but I think I was waiting to cross it off the list for some reason. I don't know what that reason was now, so... crossed off, it is.

55. powerwash/stain/protect the deck - Done!

57. Keep up with the landscaping each year (trim bushes, weed, cut grass, etc.) - I can't cross this off yet for this year, as it's not over yet, but I think I've done really well. It's not perfect yet, but I don't expect it to be, the lawn has been mowed appropriately, and I've been trimming bushes and weeding, I'm just GOOD at it, so I miss a lot of weeds and don't trim very well. I think if I improve just a little each year, I'll be happy.

73. Donate hair to Locks of Love again - Done!

80. Buy & use cloth grocery bags - Done! I actually did this a while ago, I completely forgot it was on the list, though!

83. Back up my computer at least once a year - I did this as well as I could for 2008, I ran out of external hard drive. I need a drobo before next year!

94. Make a batch of wine with John each year - We've made two batches so far this year, though neither are for us, I figure it still counts.
