June 1, 2011: 7/101 goals complete, 25/101 goals in progress
Did I complete...
-- No. 20: Can or pickle some sort of vegetable? Nope, not yet.
-- No. 30: Try an unusual type of milk? YES! We tried almond milk. It was good, but because it's not as neutral a taste as regular cow milk, it's not so good with dinner. But it is fairly good with dessert and Cheerios at breakfast.
-- No. 70: Consult with a calligrapher and then buy real calligraphy supplies? YES! Although I fully admit to not knowing how to use them yet -- it is NOT as easy as you might guess!
Did I begin...
-- No. 53. Email an Adam Hamilton sermon to someone who might be interested? Nope, not yet.
Sadly, I was NOT able to keep up with all of my monthly commitments (nos. 5, 7, 16, and 48) -- I just wasn't able to make it to the animal shelter :(

July Spotlight: Jenna of That Wife and Jenna Cole
You can catch up with Jenna's progress on her goals here! I think she did a fabulous job assembling her list, but my five favorites she's undertaking are:
-- Grow and use three varieties of herbs (YES! Everyone should have an herb garden -- so easy, and can save you a LOT of money!)
-- Join a fresh flowers CSA (This sounds like a dream!)
-- Sew a skirt
-- Build up a collection of Dr. Seuss books (May I suggest The Butter Battle Book?)
-- Buy red lipstick
In the meantime, you can see the details on all of my goals right here. Here's to a great month!
I really wish I knew calligraphy; it can be so gorgeous - good luck!
ReplyDeleteA battle about butter? I think that could be my favorite kind!
ReplyDeleteI am sad to say I haven't completed any of those, but I am making headway on the Dr. Seuss books, and I'm trading photography for sewing lessons with a friend. I've had my machine for almost 3 years and haven't really ever used it!
