I realized tonite that I’ve crossed off several more things on my 101 Things in 1001 Days list over the past month, the latest one tonite. It has been a while since I’ve even thought about “the list” and that’s pretty much par for the course with regards to the whole summer. I feel like I just lost the summer. It was gone in a blur. It’s October now. I had to turn on the heater last night. No more sleeping in shorty pjs with the windows open. I’ve broken out the long sleeves and boots. And it feels like I just put the away last week!! I need to make one of my things “stay in the moment for a whole day at least once a week!” That’s a good one – definitely next list go-around!!
But back to what I’ve accomplished on Ye Olde List:
#76 – Buy A Piano. Now, I’ve given myself a bit of leeway with this one. See, I didn’t exactly buy one. My grandparents had to move into an assisted living facility over the summer. And they could only take a bit of their furniture with them. Since I was the only grandchild to endure a decade’s worth of piano lessons, I was finally rewarded for it… by inheriting their baby grand!!
#91 – Run a 10K. On September 19, my sister and I participated in the Tough As Granite 10K trail run. A trail run is way different than running a few miles around my neighborhood, just FYI!!! But I did it, and it felt awesome to finish!! You can read more about that on my Marathon-Mommy blog.
#85 – Give Up Diet Coke/Coke Zero for 30 Days. I did some math and realized that in 9 months time, I would spend almost $2,000 on Diet Coke! And that was estimating conservatively! Not only is it bad for my health, it’s horrible for my wallet. So for my financial as well as physical well-being, it had to go. My apologies to all the Coca-Cola shareholders. I’m sure you’ve noticed a big drop in sales. Sorry, times are tough for all of us!! And I don’t have a picture of me not drinking Diet Coke for a month.
#15 – Create a GFCF Lasagna recipe. This was tonite’s dinner. And it turned out better than I could have hoped. The kids all agree – it’s actually better than the original, gluten and casein full recipe!! It’s a winner and a new family favorite! YAY!!! I posted the recipe on my Living GFCF blog.
I’m already working on my next few list items!! I plan to do at least 3 a month from here on out! I’ll be through that list in no time and ready to write a new one!!
I love that you're still working on your list. I am too!
Would you consider sharing your GFCF lasagna recipe? I really would love to start making some new dishes, but finding a good cheese sub. is close to impossible!
