101 in 1001

So it's January and I am a little late in doing the whole goals thing but I was going through my 101 in 1001 and I realized there were quite a few things to catch up on.

Here is what I've done.

21.  Turn the front room into a nursery.

Checkety check.  This was a lot harder than I anticipated.  The front room was sort of a catch all space for everything we need to use on occasion but not everyday.  It has been hard to figure out what to do with everything that had to come out so that the baby stuff could go in.  There is still a random pile in the hallway of stuff that we have not yet found a home for.  But the office is basically a nursery.  We painted it pink and got a cute rug.  We still need to get the curtain and mini blinds up and finish up a few final touches.  It is just a storage room for baby stuff at this point anyways.  As long as Hannah is waking up multiple times a night she is going to sleep in our room. 

28. Organize and display Ryan's memorabilia.

Disclaimer: I use the term "memorabilia" very loosely.  This shelf came out of the front room and found a new home in our bedroom displaying Ryan's *coughcough* collectibles.  It was organized more nicely but at least his special souvenirs are on display where they can be enjoyed instead of in bins in the garage.-

48.  Give away at least 20 homemade blank cards as gifts. 

This one is partially complete.  I gave my Secret Santa at work three Christmas cards that I made.  They were variations of this card:

72. Attend 5 plays or musicals. 

We have two more additions to this one.  First, my parents invited us to join them for the Christmas Show at the American Music Theater in Lancaster.  We also took the kids to see the holiday panto at People's Light and Theater Company.  You can read about that here.

93.  Watch 5 football games with Ryan without complaining.  

One random game a few weeks ago with Ryan.  I forgot I record the date and details but it happened!  I also watched the NFC championship game with Ryan. I am not developing a love of the game, despite what Ryan had hoped.  But I think he appreciates me spending time with him and at least attempting to take an effort.  Plus Isaac is a huge football fan so it is good family time.

100.  Find a way to volunteer in Isaac's school/classroom.

The last day of school before Christmas break and my maternity leave I had a early dismissal but Isaac had a full day.  His teacher asked for a few parents to come in and help with their classroom party and I jumped at the chance. I took a half personal day once in kindergarten to be a mystery reader and that has been the only time I have been able to volunteer in Isaac's entire school career.  I ended up manning the craft table making penguin Christmas ornaments.  Isaac seemed really excited to have me there and it was  fun to see him interact in his classroom.

42. Take a cooking class with Ryan.

This is a partial complete.  I signed us up for a class at Sur La Table in February as a Christmas present. I thought it would make a fun date night and I was hoping by the end of February I would feel okay leaving Hannah with a sitter.

 33. Read 50 books. 

I blogged recently that Isaac had commented that I used to read books but now I don't.  This made me feel awful, even though it was true.  So I picked up Gone Girl (just okay) and finished it up and then moved on to Paper Towns (also just okay).  Now I am moving onto Brain on Fire.  

How are you doimg with your goals?
