I also told you I would update on the actual number of caches that I did in Ohio... it was 14. So that`s (14/250). I was hoping to go this weekend but the snow kind of put a damper on that.

#96 - Get a cactus and keep it alive.
I got a Christmas cactus form Jen`s father and I have succesfully kept it alive for 3weeks now. Apparently these things stay alive all year round. So I will continue to water it and keep an eye on it in hopes of keeping the easy plant to keep alive... alive...


I`ll keep my ear to the grindstone (whatever that means)

Day 52 Update - #66 and #101

#66 - New Jeans
Got them from my mother before I left for Ohio with Jen for Christmas and I forgot to write it down in the Big Update. Anyway I like them and they are better than the ripped pairs I have eventhough I still plan on fixing them!

#101 - Encourage 5 People to make a list
Little Erin has made her list official: Little Erin`s 101
She found my list somehow and liked the idea and made a list. Bea and I have been talking with her and her list is complete.

That makes 10 things on my list complete just shy of 10% (9.90% actually)
And with 52 days gone I am only about 5% through the 1001 (5.19% actually)


P90X starts Tomorrow!!!!!

#77 - Do 250 Geocaches:
While in Ohio we got some caches done. Jen and I took out Jen`s Uncle, her brother and her father. We found about 12 or so... I`ll get the official number and I will update the blog! Good Times, we are going today too in a little bit in the snow!

#80 - Get 100 people to View This Blog
I put a counter on the bottom of the blog about a month ago and I put in the settings to only count unique IP address`. According to the counter 138 different IP address` have seen my blog. I am not entirely convinced on this. I would like to think that this it that interesting to other people but I`m sure that it is not, anyway... I will leave that one unchecked and continue to tell people about my blog in hopes of crossing it off in the future.

#81 - Brew My Own Beer
Jen got me a beer making kit for Christmas and I have decided to make the Whispering Wheat and I`m going to go to the grocery store and get some raspberries and put them in there with it! It should be good! Pictures to follow. Let me know if you want to come over and try the first batch. Should be ready by spring.

#101 - Encourage 5 people to Start a List Like this!
Still waiting on #5...

That's all for now!

Happy New Year!!!!
