The Finale

My list technically expired in September and I was a tremendous slacker and didn't even cross of the items that I should have. I also gave myself an extension until the end of 2009, but even then, didn't really cross off any other items.

With the dawn of 2010, I'm hoping to write a magnificent new list and to continue to step out of my boundaries. I'm going to post the new list on my normal blog.

#2 - Find the perfect cafe to hang out at. I'm going to cross it off because technically I did FIND the perfect cafe. Unfortunately, it's Sappho's Books on Glebe Street in Sydney. When I was there, I spent two glorious lunches/afternoons hiding in their little garden in the back, sipping my coffee, & reading a new book. There were plenty of people having interesting conversations as little birds flew about. It was paradise. And since I'm going back to Sydney in February, I feel that even if this has to be an annual cafe visit, it's perfect.

#15 - Get on a wrinkle prevention regime. I use sunscreen every day, moisturize at night, and have started using "grown up" products. I think the sunscreen makes it able for me to cross this off the list.

#22 - Try 30 "New to Me" recipes. I smashed this one and discovered my inner Martha!I'm so glad I challenged myself with this one.

#23 - Buy a new set of knives. Thanks to Christmas prezzies from Mom and Dad, done!

#95 - Splurge on a nice restaurant. Ken and I dined nicely in South Bend and then paid the price!

#101 - I've donated funds to the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer and have certainly covered my missing items.
