This was a month of ‘getting started’ and planning ahead. I quickly realized why none of my resolutions have been very successful in the past. I want immediate gratification. I want a complete life overhaul the moment the idea pops into my head. And when that doesn’t happen…resolution fail.
But…BUT…this little list is proving to be a keeper. While I can’t cross anything off my list yet (wait until later today – crossing off will happen – more on that later…squee!) I’m on my way.
Here is the roundup for Month 1 (boringly similar to the last post I made but now an OFFICIAL Roundup):
Tasks completed:
#3 Eat or Drink 10 things I’ve never tried before. 2 Down, 8 to go.
1. A Scotch egg, The Gage, Chicago, IL
2. A venison burger, The Gage, Chicago, IL
*Honorable Mention: A Beermosa. Somebody else’s drink and I just had a sip. tasty!
#6 Hike 40 miles of trails in Illinois. 2.5 miles down; 37.5 to go!
1. .5 miles North Park Nature Center
2. 2 miles, Fort Sheridan trails ( a write up on this soon)
