Just plodding along on my goals.  I think I'm doing okay, although I'm questioning some of my choices for goals.  Oh well - we'll see.

 

Goal #1 Adopt 2nd child - we are started with our homestudy and have a potential referral - it won't be for sure until we send our paperwork to Thailand and that is months away - but we're praying and hurrying as best we can

 

Goal 2 - Pay off Adoption debt - we have paid off the smaller of the two debts, and if everything works out correctly, we should be able to pay off the larger one with next year's tax return.  That will be such a huge weight off of us - I am putting every extra penny into that loan to get it over and done with (then we'll also be completely debt free!)

 

Goal 15 - Watch AFI's top 100 movies - I can't remember the last time I posted (I'm at work so I cant' check) but I've now  watched Mutiny on the Bounty (pretty good - interesting trivia), Duck Soup (DS loved this one), Fargo (not at all what I thought it was about), Platoon (made me cry), Giant (long, but interesting), Modern Times (I like these old timey silent films), and the Apartment (that girl has issues).  Frankenstein is coming with Netflix today.  With todays, that will be 20/100 movies.

 

Goal 17 - Read 100 best novels - I read Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy last week (out of order) because we owned it and it's a favorite of mine - it will never get old!  I also just finished The Trial (Frank Kafka) on audio book.  Bo-ring.  I'm so glad that is done with.  It made no sense and the main character was annoying.  Sorry, K!   Next is Light in August (Faulkner).  So far I've done 7/100 - yikes, I have a ways to go!

 

Goals 48 & 49 - go without coffee/soda for one month - Well, it's Lent and I've decided to give them both up.  So in 40 days I'll come back and check those off.  :)

 

Goal 72 - Make Seitan - COMPLETE! I did this and I didn't like it at all.  I thought it tasted burnt and threw most of it away :(  Oh well.  Maybe I'll try again someday - it was pretty easy.

 

That's it for today.  A lot of the other goals are very slowly progressing and someday I'll post about them, but right now I should probably get back to work.   I'm already starting to make a list for next time, and have 12 ideas written down.  I should probably focus on finishing this list first though!
