I've recently been motivated to get some of the items crossed off my 101 Goals in 1001 Days list. I have 550 days remaining and have completed 46 of my 101 goals. Not too bad - I'm right on track! Almost half-way there and almost half done.
#30 - Fast from sugar for 30 days in a row. I did it. So far so good on my sugar fast for Lent! I wasn't tempted too badly over the last 30 days, so I'm sure I'll make it to Easter just fine. I hate that I'm so addicted to sugar. I can't wait to make Blueberry Pie for Easter...I might even eat it for breakfast. Oh wait, I'm making Apple Fritters for breakfast. So many sweets, so little time - I'll probably make myself sick by going overboard that day!
#69 - Sign Kaylin up for a dance class. I was going to wait until I had pictures of Kaylin's first class next month to post this, but I'm getting impatient. I'm in list-cross-off mode, so this one's done!
#72 - Take a bubble bath once a week for a month. I probably took four baths in all of 2009, so it's a huge deal that I'
ve taken one each week for the last month. And every time I'm up to my chin in bubbles in a dark bathroom surrounded by candles I wonder: WHY DON'T I DO THIS MORE OFTEN?!?!? Such a simple little luxury that I hope to incorporate back in to my life more consistently.

Congratulations on making it 30 days without sugar. I am seriously addicted, but not quite ready to give it up.
Seems like every time I get the notion to take a bath, I have to stop and rinse the dust off my bath tub. The thought of having to do that makes me lose interest!
I seriously think I must be the only woman on the planet who hates baths. And I so WANT to enjoy them! It's such a beautiful picture....lovely smelling bubbles, chilled-out music, enchanting candles, a totally relaxed atmosphere. Ahhhhhh.
But then I crawl in, sit for 30 seconds, and then think 'Now what am I supposed to do?'
Then I get all hot and sweaty and any luxury I feel from all the above mentioned goodies gets totally killed by the sweat trickling from my forehead down my face, my heart is racing from the temperature, and any book I try to read (no matter how engrossed I already am in it) gets overshadowed by desperate efforts to not get it wet, the pages start to curl, then there's the effort of forklifting myself out of the tub to set the book down somewhere safe .....
It all turns into more work than pampering for me. Sigh! :-(
But I'm glad there are women out there like you who can enjoy them for me. Taking one for the team, my dear!

another three - good for you!
and thanks for the reminder - bubble baths are on my list too!
