screw you photoshop or day 102

#66 on my list was to learn photoshop. to this end, i signed up for a self-paced, computer class through work. what i discovered is that photoshop is still as complicated and headache making to me as it was when i was in college. i have no real need for it, i just thought i'd like to learn. nope. don't care. this created my new legend category of "tried, failed, and am ok with that".

i created another new category, "not as motivated to do now as i was when i made the list". i have put some items there, hopefully temporarily. cooking more things, more often really doesn't appeal now that it's roughly 90 degrees everyday. taking to karin, eh. fan of the banter seems to be on indefinate hiatus, so doing something real with that is unlikely right now.

but i did accomplish #49, that being to get new non-boots. i bought a new pair of mary jane earth shoes in bordeux (say it like a drag queen). i also got a pedicure.

oh and i still haven't cut my hair :).

pucca and garo or day 92

#29 on my list is to do more painting, which coordinated nicely with #101, which was to finish my 5 projects before the end of 2009. to that end, i give you completed project #1: jarvis.
i'm pretty excited to start my other 4 now.

#32 on the list was to move to a more accessible apartment or make my current apartment more accessible. sadly, the apartment i had hoped for did not come through; however, i did ask my landlord to re-do my front stairs and that has been done. they aren't ideal, but they are better and safer than the monstrostities that were there before. this weekend, i gave up my parking spot in the garage. i haven't used it in months and the stairs are just dangerous, even for the able bodied. i gave it up so i wouldn't even be tempted to use it and today, i will apply for dedicated handicapped parking on my street in front of my apartment.

#56 was to straighten and tidy my apartment before it became unmanageable. last weekend, i cleaned the bathroom and this weekend, i tidied the living room. it's a work in progess, really.

#62 was to eat less wendy's. well, i've still been eating it, but have found the last 3x to be really gross, so i think they may be off the list for a while.

#73 was to organize/personalize my desk. last friday afternoon, i got a sudden bug to do this. it's also a work in progress, but i did get some pictures up and am going to continue organizing today.

#89 was to keep track of food in a journal or sparkpeople. i like sparkpeople, but because i cannot update it on my phone, i find that i end up writing things down anyway. so, i started a journal, wrote in the dates and calories/fat allowances to help me keep on track. i hate, i reallly do, but i gotta.

you're outta here or day 86

#18 was to walk more and #89 was to keep track of food. on sunday, i walked around my block and i intend to walk to dinner tonight. yesterday, i started a notebook to write down what i eat. i hate this, but i know i need to do it.
