Just Living -- 101 in 1001

My mission is to complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days. Why? Because wouldn't it be the coolest to actually do a bunch of things I've always wanted but may never get around to doing if I don't write them down and focus? I thought so. I hope you will too. So here's my list and time's ticking away . . .

Tough on Grease but Not On Your Hands . . . NOT!

46. Do the dishes and clean up kitchen immediately following all meals for one week.

I am a person with a clean kitchen. Yes, perhaps I'm inspired by the fall rodent factor (I am starting to doubt that I really heard anything scratching in my wall), but no matter. The floor is swept. The cupboards are clear. The dishes are done. My hands are dried out shriveled rough prunes. And I cross something else off my list. God, I'm good!

52. Drink no alcohol for two weeks.

You know, I don't really drink that much anymore. Not like the drunk that lasted 3 years. Nowhere near that! Seriously, I drank at least a half dozen and usually many many more beer every day of the week. I no longer had the appearance of being drunk, but just the same all the time. It was a bad phase. Then there were years when I may have only drank on a couple of occasions throughout the entire year. I was an easy drunk then. And now, another phase. I love red wine with food. I love red wine with conversation. I love red wine with sappy movies. I love red wine with reality television. I love red wine while I'm relaxing. I like to have one glass with the evening meal. Just one, not the whole bottle. This practice is even supposed to have health benefits. Still I figured weeks went by without me having any wine or alcohol of any kind, but I never kept track, so I couldn't be sure. Now, I'm sure. Two weeks, easy peezy. No big deal. Now I know. I might love it, but that's not a bad thing. I'm not sloshed every day or even once a week or two weeks . . . now where's my corkscrew :-)

6. Eat breakfast every day for a month.

I am a woman who eats breakfast! Like every frigging day! There you go. It turns out I really like toast and cereal and bagels and pancakes. See, all these years I've been trying to cram bacon down my throat in the morning and not getting anywhere. Here's to embracing the grain.

47. Drink 8 glasses of water per day for a week.


Will wonders never cease?! I am also a woman who drinks water. A LOT OF WATER! Likely more than the required 8 glasses. I am hydrated! Wow!

92. Make a new friend.


I have a new friend.

Life is pretty good.

34. Eat vegetarian for two weeks, no meat or dairy.

I only did the no dairy part for one week. Full blown vegan is too difficult. I love my coffee cream and cheeses way too much. Not to mention the eggs that are in all baked goods. This is not to say I won't go vegan someday. It can be done. It just takes more effort than what I have to give right now. However, the vegetarianism continues. No meat. And that's okay. Feels good. Feels right.
