That's right. Twenty-oh-twelve. That's what I said.
No, that's not what I call it... as far as you know.
By now, you have realized that I am an awesomely fantastic blog-updater, and you haven't missed a thing. Right? I mean, I update daily, so I don't know why you're making that face.
I haven't updated about how awesome my 101 in 1001 is going (or about anything else at all) in a while, so I thought tonight would be a good time to do so! You are welcome. In advance.
After this update, I have completed 27% of my list (well, actually more, but I haven't blogged about the others, so I'm only counting 28/101 items) and I am 37.3% through my 1001 days. That's not too bad!
I have (since last update & strikethrough) completed the following:
#35. Spend time in California
This was a LONG and EXCRUCIATING story. Basically, in October, D had a conference in Vegas (Yeah- 2 birds w/1 stone. #54.) and we flew out American Airlines. Our layover was in LAX, and our plane had to be rerouted due to bad weather... so we- and 10 other people- were stranded in LS for 16 hours. I thought- LET'S GO TO THE BEACH!!! So we hopped in a cab to Santa Monica at 10:30pm and went to a bar by the pier. I'm not counting this as #1. Visit the Beach because I did not get sandy. haha
#38. Build a fire pit
This is interesting. Basically, here's how it goes.
- Step 1. Buy way too many concrete blocks
- Step 2. stack them in a square
- Step 3. Light stuff on fire inside of said square
Yep. That's it. It isn't pretty, but I have every intention of buying some scrap tile @Habitat or something this summer, beating the crap out of it, and tiling in the outside of the concrete blocks in a mosaic-like style.
#41. Buy (and successfully wear) flat boots
I don't know that anything else needs to be said. I bought flat boots. I look cute in them. :)
#47. Get a new TV for our LR
For Thanksgiving, I bought us a new 51" giant tv. It is beautiful. I don't have any pictures of it, so you'll need to come see it yourself! Yay!
#51. Build seating area around fire pit
You know how I said "Buy way too many concrete blocks"?
The "too many" is what I made 2 benches out of. They aren't permanent. But I'm counting 'em!
#54. Go back to Reno or Vegas
It was uhm... an experience. That's what I'll call it. It was interesting. D had to go for work, so I tagged along. We got stranded in LA for half of the trip, but I made the most of it!
Some pictures:
#61. Get a new mattress/box springs
King. Size. Bed.
That's right- I can sleep with my husband in the same bed and NEVER EVEN TOUCH HIM. Not that I want that... but I kinda do sometimes. You know. We're both wild sleepers. This thing is amazing. I'll post pictures of it one day. That way you can see how pretty our bed is with the headboard. :)
#76. Put a desk (of sorts) in the office
Another thing I need to post a picture of is this DESK! I have 2 baby filing cabinets (the 2-drawer ones) and for Christmas, my brother gave me a giant piece of granite!!! It's BEAUTIFUL! and lays perfectly across the 2 cabinets to make a desk.
I. Love. It.
Makes me want new countertops... hmm...
There are some more that I don't think I've updated, but I'm just going to mark them out anyway.
Also: I'm counting #93 as complete as well. For Christmas, D's dad got Carmen and Tini Packers Cheerleader uniforms. I'm using those as their new outfits. SO CUTE!
They're really short, so the girls look a little slutty.. but we all knew that about them all along.
And now I'm sleepy. That's all I have time/energy to update about tonight. Maybe more this next week... or next month. You never know! I like to keep you guessing!
Enjoy!

| The View from our ROOM! Thanks Planet Hollywood for the complimentary upgrade! ♥ |

| Holy MOLY our room was sweet! The thing you see on the far side- that's a WALL of a WINDOW with a remote controlled screen/blind thingie that rolled up on command. I felt like such a poor person because I found this so exciting. hahahah |
