New Year... New Update

Talk about slacking on the blog!

Just updated my 101 things to do in 1001 days list and I thought I'd share some of the accomplishments and those unaccomplished.

FULL ACCOMPLISHMENTS


#1- I completed visiting 5 states I'd never been to before. The stipulation was that I had to spend at least one full night in that state.

1. Nevada - Las Vegas (February 6-9, 2011)
2. New York - Rochester (March 18-20, 2011)
3. Illinois - Chicago (June 16-19, 2011)
4. Connecticut - Westbrook (September 15-16, 2011)
5. New Hampshire - Meredith (February 3-5, 2012)

#8 - BwaLL and I ended up hiking in Stoneybrook State Park in Dansville, NY on July 2nd, 2011. We originally just wanted to go for a nature walk to see all the waterfalls, but ended up hiking along the gorge and east rim trails. I'm glad I wore good shoes!



#56 - I had lunch with Gramma Jean in October 2011 after she altered my uniform pants. I also went out for dinner with her and aunt Mar in December 2011 at the Cromwell Grill.

#77 - I have finally watched all of the Star Wars movies. I very much disliked the newer ones and often fell asleep during them. Whoops!

#83 - I took a one week vacation from work just recently (one week + 2 days). February 1st - 9th, 2012. I traveled to BwaLL's on the 1st and we left on the 3rd and drove through New York and Vermont to get to Meredith, New Hampshire where his sister, CwaLL & Ry-dun were married. Spent the 6th - 9th in Rochester before heading home. Good times!


PROGRESSIVE ACCOMPLISHMENTS

#70 - I have now visited 2 out of 3 Aquariums. 
John G. Shedd Aquarium, Chicago, IL
Aquarium of Niagara, Niagara Falls, NY


#80 - Went to 1 out of 5 concerts. K.hi & I saw the New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys at the Union Center in Chicago on June 18th, 2011.

#95 - I made 1 new recipe out of 5. On Saturday, I made a Cauliflower Pizza Crust from this recipe. It was amazing. I couldn't believe that Cauliflower crust could taste so much like the real thing!
