Day 534 progress

9. Paint an original work of art: I spoke with a coworker who is a very good artist, and who specializes in acrylics and collage.  She gave me some ideas regarding techniques I could use in my piece of art.

I'm still in favor of my selected subject matter.  I will probably begin work in the fall when it cools off a bit, that way I can work in the garage and avoid making a mess in the house.

 

19. Train with weights twice a week for 6 months: Claudia and I enrolled in a one month family membership at the Frisco Athletic Center.  This is obviously the first necessary step to completing this item.  We're going to try the facility for a month, and then enroll for a year if we like the services offered.

I'll be able to drop by either before or after work, and since Claudia is a city employee, she will get reimbursed for her part of the fees if she uses the facility at least 10 times a month.

 

25. Listen to every one of my tracks on iTunes: So far I have listened to 6567 of 7381 tracks.  I am 88.97% of the way through my collection.

 

41. Refrain from ingesting caffeine for 90 days: I managed to make it to day 23 before I screwed up.  Claudia and I had dinner with her mother, sister, and sister's fiancee on 8/12/2008, and having had a long day at work, I didn't stop to think when I ordered a Jack Daniel's and coke with my dinner. 

And thus, I restarted this item on 8/13/08.  My new completion date will be 11/10/2008

 

51. Save $1 cash each day for 1001 days: Since my last update I set aside $9.  My new total is $723 of $1001.
