So, I wanted to do another update post on my 101 list. I'm beginning to wonder if I'm going to finish this at all! So many things I'd need to do this summer to get it done as I did practically nothing last summer. Ah well.
45. Join a church
We're just waiting to become members. We've gone to the classes, sent in our paperwork and our testimonies, and my husband had a meeting with the pastor.
55. Get back to pre-pregnancy weight
I'm where I was before getting pregnant with my littlest one now! 10 more pounds to get back to where I was before I got married, but I feel that is likely unrealistic, and set my goal a few pounds above that. I'm using the 'lose it' app to track my food again and started exercising with my oldest daughter for her Phys Ed.
58. Take a self defense class? DONE (March 2025)
My oldest and I are doing a weekly Jiu Jitsu class in town! It's interesting. I'm not very good at it, but that's ok. Honestly, I did not expect to actually do this one at all! A friend of mine told me about it late February when we were chatting at the mall, and after mentioning it to my oldest, she was the one to push us to start going 2 weeks later as we were busy that following weekend. If she wouldn't have pushed, I don't think I'd have gone, to be honest. Sad, I know. But now we've gone 3 weeks! I think it is fantastic!
67. Make baby picture wood slices for each child for our ‘tree’, with a wedding photo of us DONE (March 2025)
I decided against the wedding photo because I like the heart image of us. I may print a wedding picture to fit into there eventually, but I'm just super happy to have each of my kids on this tree now! I only had the 5 for a really long time because I only had five frames! And to think, my brother made this for me when I was pregnant with my third!
I am super proud of this! I really wanted to do the photo transfer on the wood, but after attempting it and having it turn out terrible, I looked up a bunch more websites and saw that it likely wasn't a good fit for what I was doing and printed out the photos on glossy photo paper instead, cutting them to the perfect size and gluing in place. I put the child's name and year of birth on the backs of the slices. I initially was going to put that info on the photo but I like the idea of making people guess who is who. I guess having the images in chronological order would make that too easy, though, haha.
84. Learn how to fix/clean keyboards/electronics (DONE - March 2025)
I've taken apart a couple of keyboards now to clean them. One I couldn't actually take apart completely, but the other I did! It had water damage, so I couldn't fix it because the water removed some of the chip. It was interesting to see how it functioned, and I did attempt to use the 'button press' pad to fix a broken button on a game controller. Unfortunately, because it was not the correct part, it didn't last, but I figure I did pretty good as the controller worked again for a while! Fun fact, my son put together his own computer, so now I figure I can ask his help on some of these things, haha.
So 49 are done with 52 left to go. Ugh. Way over half done the time but not even half done the list! Ah well.
Anybody else doing a 101 in 1001 list?
