Didn't forget about this~ Yet~

 

Slowly updating the 77 items in 777 days list. I've done so many of these lists, but never finished any. It's funny to think, how things on past lists have been done. We own a house. We've been through two new cars (we just traded the one in for an SUV, pretty sure that car was cursed or haunted. It got crashed into four or five times, had the windshield break twice, the parking brake as well... It wasn't old or anything, just a mess...) But there's some things we haven't accomplished yet.

Like opening our store. Owning chickens. Going to another province. (I've been to Quebec some years ago, but my poor husband has scarcely been out of Southern Ontario!) Winning any sort of contest. Silly things, sure, but they matter to me.

Also, knowing the end of the 777 days is my 40th birthday, is making me want to make sure I get lots of cool stuff done by then.

Not to say my life is boring now. With a husband, a kiddo, a dog, two cats, and plans to travel (once covid is done), and plans to open the store (in spring!), and so much else, there's no time for boring, it would just be nice to check off a few things!

Owl Crate!

So I'm really sorry about the silence around here. It's been a busy week (my birthday, something called Christmas, I don't know...) so as you can assume, I've not been reading or writing a whole lot.

Today was too big of a deal to not post about though. I got my first box from Owl Crate!! (Referral link, if you decide to order through them, use my link, I'd appreciate it!) It's actually my first paid subscription box (I've gotten a few for free) so I was extra excited for this. A new book, a cute button, a whole bunch of good things.

If, by chance, you've ordered this month's and haven't gotten it yet (probably you live in Canada, because we seem to be getting it last!) then don't click through the pictures from my Instagram below. If you want to be spoiled, or just want to see what we all got, then feel free to click through! And yes, I know my pictures aren't the thing of glory and fame yet, I'm working on a space to make things more... pretty soon.

Working on a few things to make this place look a bit nicer too, but for now, I'm outta here.

Happy Holidays, everyone!!

1183 Days Progress!

So it's been a while since I've made any post, let alone one about 1183 Days! I'm going to make full posts for each item (and probably tag it here!) but for now, these are the things I've managed to make happen! (And the dates, if I remember them off the top of my head, lol.)

002 - Finish a colouring page! - Done today! July 30th, while at work! :) It's just a colouring page I got from the library, but it's not bad.

006 - Make a painting freestyle (not in class) - Did this in May, for our new house. :) Actually did two paintings, one of a lake for our living room, and one for Ollie's room!007 - Get our own place! (Apartment?) - Officially got the keys on June 4th! Moved in a couple weeks later, since I had to get furniture and stuff heh.

017 - Get a fancy purse - Did this in mid-May... I think the 18th? After my work interview (and job offer that I accepted!) I went to the thrift store across the street. I found a Vera Bradley bag (of which I've wanted one for years!) for $7 I believe. It's usually 10x that, so as you can imagine, I was thrilled. It was essentially brand new. Good enough for me. :)

020 - Get a kitty! - We actually adopted her at the end of June, but she had to get fixed, and then caught an upper respiratory thing that they offered to treat at the humane society, so we got her officially a couple weeks later. Her full name is Miss Yuki Mao Mao. LOL. Yuki for short... which means snow. She's a black cat. My sense of humour is something else.

028 - Bake cake/cupcakes/muffins from scratch! - Did this sometime in June, made my grandma's banana muffin recipe. SO GOOD. I need to make them again, now that I think about it...

060 - Plant a REAL garden (NOT POTTED) - Did this a few weeks after moving in, but all my plants died, LOL. It's too hot here. :( I'll try again, but I am so counting this time. TOO BAD.

073 - Get a real GOOD cellphone - Did this on July 17th! Got an LG X Power, once I found out I had a credit available through my mobile phone company. Now the husband wants one too, lol. Lucky for him, I have more of a credit that I have no use for, heh. :)

081 - Go to another con - Went to Mini-Mini Con in San Antonio sometime in May. Entered a tournament while there, so crossed off another item on my list!

090 - Own a couple of NICE PJ sets - Got myself a couple of cute and comfy sets of PJs in May, while shopping for work clothes. Makes as much sense as anything else, no?

093 - Get a nice pair of shoes - Okay, they're not super fancy, but they're SO COMFY. Got them sometime in June.

132 - Have a 4 slice toaster again - Got this in May, for our house! :)

134 - Enter (+ probably lose) a game tournament - Did this at the start of May with the husband, a Guilty Gear tournament at a Mini Con in San Antonio. I sucked, but I had fun. :)

165 - Own a fancy water bottle - Okay, it's not extra fancy, but I fiddled around with a dozen or so of them, and decided on one I liked, even though it's kind of boring. It's 48oz though, so that helps me get all my water intake in every day. :) Good stuff!

Still here!

I know, it's been over a month since I've made a post here, yikes!

In that time though, I've moved us back to Canada (yay!), gotten us a nice house (I love it here) AND gotten a job that I'm really enjoying. Not to mention, I've plowed through close to a dozen of my to-do list items, which I'll be making into posts during today, since it's my day off. Four day weekends are great ha! :)

If my thinking is right, I'm almost caught up to where I should be, in regards to completed tasks. Not bad!
