Anyway, the last two weeks have been crazy with activity. I have gotten a LOT of 101 goals done (with one more that I wish to do this month... craziness). And so, without further ado, here are the goals I met the last two weeks.
#15. Have a candlelit dinner (Feb 13th)
If you read my last blog post, you'd see the candlelight dinner we had on Saturday. It was wonderful. I'm seriously thinking I need to pull out the nice dishes more often, just for fun.
I really wanted to do this again when I saw the show 'Clean Sweep' recently. I watched as a woman was made to part with all her crystal since she didn't use it (and it was in boxes in storage not even visible) for over 10 years. That is a long time to have something just sitting there collecting dust. I use my wine glasses and nice dishes at least once a year, but I think it would be nice to use them more often. Who really cares if they get chipped... what good are they sitting in the box? (by the way... I love watching Clean Sweep, Neat, How Clean Is Your House... shows like that. Am I crazy?)
#21. Do farm historical analysis for 2008 (Feb 10th)
FINALLY! It is DONE! I am THRILLED! Can't you tell? I've been working on this for far too long... needing information making things difficult since I didn't have that information. Well, I had a bit of a mental breakdown last week. No joke. Over the books. And my husband proceeded to bug the people necessary to get the info for me right the next day. And I finished it. And the crop historicals for the 2009 year are in as well! Yahoo! Now I need to wait for DHI to send us the papers they should have sent a month ago so I can finish the 2009 historicals completely and finish up the 2010 farm plan! Things are looking up!
#30. Bring baked goods to someone #5 (Feb 14th)
I didn't plan on doing this one, but my cousin mentioned a family who needed meals. The wife and mom was out-of-commission after a surgery that was supposed to have her back on her feet in a few days (it didn't). So, I baked banana bread and brought it to my cousin, who in turn brought it to them! I love baking for people! I should really put this on my list next time and up it to 10 or 15 times...
#35. Have one full month of no sweetened beverages (water, milk, and tea only) (Feb 12th)
Finally. Done. I can drink milkshakes/fruit juice/smoothies/pop again. Ok... nah on the pop. Not worth it. But I was SO craving milkshakes this whole month! Why did this one have to be so hard? Usually something like this is easy for me. At least I wasn't cutting sugar completely. I have been having such a hard time staying away from the sweets for some odd reason.
#81. Organize Deep freeze with deep bins (Feb 11th)
YES! I organized my deep freeze on Thursday, and it only took me 45 minutes to do it (I was shocked, and pleasantly surprised). I emptied everything out into the crates that I had purchased (trashing the few items that were totally freezer burnt). Then I proceeded to chip away at the ice that had formed inside, cleaning it out with a pail (I don't have a drain on the bottom of my rather old deep freeze, so I have to do it this way... it's just easier than melting it all and having to use a cloth... not to mention quicker). Then I just had to put the bins back in, place the items that weren't going into bins into their places, and VOILA! Finished!
There was a LOT of ice... and this was the best place to let it melt. I think it's kinda funny having ice in my shower!
Doesn't it look so nice now?
And here is the meat. I made a makeshift divider using a grate that was doing nothing in there before. Works nice for separation!I am SO happy that this one is done. I think that means all my organizing tasks are now complete! How cool is that?
#90. Go to a prayer conference (Feb 2nd)
Unfortunately, I went a bit late so I missed the beginning. But I did go, and I did pray, and I did feel better for it. Now I know some of the things I need to pray over for our church as well. Which is good. I really want to go again sometime, preferably ON time.
There you have it, all the 101's completed in the first half of the month. Now it's 71 down, 30 to go! And 365 days! Woo! I'm ahead of the game! :)

I am so excited for your 101! Gosh, you are really on top of things!
I read this one idea for organizing a freezer Get different colored plastic bins - pink for pork, red for beef, yellow for poultry, green for veggies, etc. I don't have a freezer (other than my fridge's of course) and we don't eat that much meat anyway, but I thought it was a good idea!
