So Far...

I finished listening to the unabridged version of Robinson Crusoe. I really enjoyed listening to it on my MP3 player, I had more flexibility of when and where I could listen then if I was reading it.

I read "The Quilters Apprentice" first in the Elm Creek Series and have started the second in the series "Round Robin". If your a quilter or have always had an interest in quilting this is a great fictional series to learn about quilting in a story setting. One of the items on my 101 Listwas to sew quilts from my fabric stash and these books are really getting me motivated.

I did forget to take pixs of Robinson Crusoe CD holder and The Quilters Apprentice for the blog, this is one of my 101 things I'm going to do.

I'm planning on having my 1 month of No TV in April. So what I'd like to do before that is rent all the available seasons of the TV show "The Office" and watch that with DH.

Well till the next update

Update of Progress

I had my first knitting class (#47) the other day. The instructor taught us the basics just to get us started. She is going to see if we can get together every two weeks as a group to keep learning and sharing. I checked out a book from the library to help me with visuals and reading patterns. I have also been listening to Robinson Crusoe (#89) on my MP3, Unabridged version. I can't imagine reading the whole unabridged book, by listening to the MP3 I know I'll finish it.

I also have ordered from the library The Quilters Apprentice which is the first book in the Elm Creek Quilt series (#92). I'll start reading that this weekend.

List Within a List

Ok, so I've set a date of June 26, 2007 to have a few of my things marked off my list.

Why the 26th of June, because for no better reason than it's my birthday.

I noticed when I was organizing my 101 things that I might have gone overboard with the travel category. We'll see if I can accomplish all that travel in 2.75 years.

Anyway, here is my list within my 101 Things List:

#6 & #7 Research vacationing in New England and the Ozarks. I should try complete at least one this Fall.

#18 Once Project Linus blanket is finished sew a quilt.

#40 Lyle Lovett concert. Yeeeeeeeeees, DH is getting tickets for a March concert, belated Valentines celebration.

#47 & #27 I start a knitting class this week and the first project I'd like to complete is the baby blanket for Project Linus.

#58 Figure out which charity race I'm going to do and sign up for it.

#69 Have all CD's downloaded.

#73 Don't drive for a month.

#76 Wear eyeliner, lipstick, foundation, perfume for 1 month.

#77 Start wearing skirts and dresses. I've purchased a long jean skirt and a jean jumper. I'd like to start wearing a dress to church every Sunday.

#81 Organize my 101 list

#86 Practice yoga for 1 month.

#89 Robinson Crusoe - I'm going to cheat and listen to the unabridged MP3 version of the book. I'm going to listen to it and get my walking exercise in at the same time. I would like to have the book completed by April 8, 2007 - Easter Sunday.

#92 Start reading Elm Creek books.

#98 Write in my prayer journal everyday for 1 month.

#101 Study the Quakers
