The List

A year ago I blogged a "101 things in 1001 days" list. To my surprise, I accomplished a few this past year without even trying. I am going to try and 're-order' the list over the next weeks. Part of the reason for this is that we have to come up with a 'life plan' for RDI so that we are doing things outside of the autism world...for ourselves. It's a foreign concept for me.

Here are some of the 'done' things:

• Work on the 101 in 1001 days list.

• Increase Andrew's independence. We are doing this with RDI! It is a long term goal but I see progress already. This will end up in the ongoing category.
  

• Meet a Cyberfriend in person. Last summer we met up with Jamberry and crew. It was very fun! I also met Becky in Ohio this summer. That visit didn't end in any pictures but it did end up with us formally doing RDI!
  

• Go to Dentist- yearly. My dentist is a no Hg guy. Let me know if you want his number.
  

• Get a mammograhm. I decided to get a thermascan instead! Look into it! It was very easy and does not involve radiation.
  

• Go to Tawas. We did do that one time last summer.

• Reconnect with an old friend. Not going to say who it is..but it's done.

• Buy holder for Bible verses. A friend gifted me one!

• Read Clutters Last Stand.

• Find a new breakfast. I have a passion for eggs. I need to at least rotate my foods so we are doing oatmeal or bagels with PB&J
  

• Take Andrew to a Tigers game

• Get downstairs 'visitable' within 10 minutes. You'll have to trust me on this one.

• Buy Flowers. Well- i bought tulips yesterday. Andrew thought they were secretly monsters. No I am not kidding. I put them in the laundry room. At least they will get some sun there.

• Start a Woman's Bible Study. I did Me, Myself and Lies last summer. I want to do this again though!

• Clean out email inbox and consider switching providers. We moved from comcast / AT&T to Uverse. Very pleased with it. I didn't need to switch emails but cleaned most of my emails out. Now I just have to keep up with it!

• Learn how to make my ow gluten free bread that is eatable. I use a mix and my breadmaker but I am pleased with it. Still we don't eat much bread. I also found a suitable substitute in rice tortillas.
  

Starting the List

I have yet to organize my list yet (#21) but this right here is the first attempt at blogging the list (#79.) I picked up Clutter Last Stand at the library yesterday and am going to practice #73...feel free to change the list. I am going to change that to read organizing books.

I did flip through the book...yep... i know..I collect... and I'm not as bad as some people and worse than others. I didn't think the book was organized well for someone who needs help organizing. I apparently hold a much higher record in the number of cookbooks collected and perhaps that will change when I attack item number #56; Consider getting rid of a few cookbooks. I meant that as a joke actually. My sister once said that with all the money I have spent on cookbooks I could have gone to Hawaii and back....probably. But I've been everywhere with those cookbooks and the trip has lasted much longer. I have given away some but I probably won't budge much there.

Today I did #92 and #93; Investigate SCD and use kitchen appliances. These are ongoing goals. I made some sweet potato muffins an I'll blog that on my 'food and organizing blog' aka: Settings of Silver. The muffins did not turn out completely as planned but Andrew did enjoy them and I just ordered four 16 oz bags of almond flour on amazon. MUCH cheaper.


I also, of course, completed #2...make a 101 things in 1001 days list!
