101 in 1,001 update

First things first - Project 365 is officially on hold, due to a semi-dead camera.  Sigh.  I probably won’t be able to buy a new one until May, so I’ll restart then!

It’s been a while since I’ve  updated my  101 in 1,001 list … the edited post is <a href=”">here</a>, showing what I have and haven’t accomplished.  New accomplishments in the past few months include:

- trying foods I don’t normally eat.  My friends and I have started a monthly “restaurant tour”, during which we go to a new-to-most-of-us restaurant once a month.  Thus far, I’ve had an enchilada with mole sauce at the Mexican restaurant, and a shrimp curry at the Thai restaurant.  Broadening horizons!

- sent out holiday cards.  With bonus CD inside!  It was a project, but it was great to hear that everyone appreciated the music.

- organized and filed all my bills.  Okay, so the recent stuff has piled up again, but I hauled out the shredder and got myself up-to-date back in December.

- learned to play a new video game.  Or two.  I’m not sure I should be proud of being addicted to Rock Band and Guitar Hero, but hey, man, I passed “Gimme Shelter” on medium on the guitar, so I’m choosing pride over shame. :)

- have gone nearly one month (out of a hoped three, at least) without using my credit cards.  Started a plan to dig myself out of debt last month, and I’ve managed to keep to it thus far!

- paid off my Best Buy card, with most of my tax refund.  One down, two to go!

I haven’t really done a lot on that list, but I did a couple of big things that make me feel good.  It’s time to start looking at that list more often, and checking more things off!  The concert review portion will restart again today - we’ve reached the concerting time of the year around here, and there will be many reviews to be had!  :)  I also need to restart a lot of my writing goals, because I’ve let those slack recently.

Now that the long winter is over, it’s time to get busy!  I have things to do!

Our long-promised Cobra Starship posters finally arrived in the mail today! They’re … not that attractive, but I’ll still probably hang it up in my cubicle.

(yes, I missed the 29th. I can pretend Leap Day doesn’t exist, right?)

Winter is sort of breaking in Minnesota. A shot of the ice in our parking lot, at dusk

Once upon a time, about 15 years ago - at one of my very first sci-fi/fantasy conventions - a woman made me this name tag to commemorate my love of Mercedes Lackey’s Heralds of Valdemar. I still have it hanging up in my office!

Karaoke, take two! Alex was talked into singing “Sugar We’re Goin’ Down”, while I took pictures of the lyrics from our booth behind her.

I was walking down the hall at work one day when two of the nurses accosted me and gave me a semi-dead poinsettia to take care of. It’s … still semi-dead? But alive? What the hell, I’m no good with green things, but I haven’t killed it yet!

Sebastian and Luna, cuddling for warmth. It’s so cute when they remember they’re siblings!

Reading material of the day. I reread both of the first two books in the series before moving on to the newly released third, The Sweet Far Thing. Great series, if historical fantasy is your thing!
