Day 58 Update

I am still plugging away on about 10 things right now. I am going to start my Food Journal on Monday (#9) in helps with my most important goal (#1) still moves in the right direction. I am still reading and have about 3 books in the works right now and I am also getting more recipes under my belt...

#24 - Learn 50 New Recipes: (4/50)...now (5/50)
Oreo Truffles
Buffalo Chicken and Cheese Dip
Cheesy Potato Casserole
Grilled Vegetables in Caramelized Italian Dressing
.... Cheeseburger Chowder

Also to come: Poached Chicken Salad with Brie and Apples on Texas Toast
Raspberry Lemon Cheesecake Squares

#77 - Caches
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)
