101 in 1001: 080

Sunday, January 27, 2008

Accomplishments make me happy. Met with a lawyer about a will and he's writing one up for us. So I'm making progress. Also I started sorting clothes for consignment and listing them into the system.

AND I made broccoli cheese soup, which was a new to me recipe.

AND I read another book

6. The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick.

Yesterday and Today

Happy Thing from Friday: seeing ita.

Happy Thing from Today: the sausage cheddar biscuits rock.

Other things done:

groceries (I remembered both coupons AND to take my own bags)
some food prepped (including soup and the biscuits and I did some of the bake prep)
several rounds of dishes were done
sheets changed (that should totally be one of my 101 things -- change sheets once a week. I think where I have duplicates like taking a cloth bag to the grocery store, I'm adding that instead) and washed
went to yoga with the baby
paid a bill and bought the cutest Sandra Boynton book ever.
tried to get formula at Target, but they didn't have the right kind. Grr. That means I'll have to go to Babies R Us tomorrow so I can use the coupon.

I NEED A NAP.
