So, as you can tell, I haven't kept up with this. Numerous reasons, but mainly because I kind of feel like I'm missing the point about this being my year. If I'm stressing out about posting mundane things like my tv viewings of the day.
So, here's a new proposal: I'll keep up the blog by posting truly Awesome things that happen, but I'm not worrying about what number day it is, or getting a bunch of them each day. I'll try to keep it up but really, isn't the point that I recognize year 25 as an awesome year and try to take chances? I'll keep you apprised of my doings!

Days 66-71
1) got the ball rolling for income-based payments for my student loans.
2) was there for someone
3) managed to get through a bad day and still be present with the kids
4) celebrated a friend's birthday and got lots of good conversation from her friends. Also got a bit tipsy and was made fun of by said friend.
5) saw a COWBOY riding a HORSE in the MIDDLE of the NIGHT! You must understand that this is not something to be seen in my city every day. Dude was talking on his cell phone.
6) babysat. Money!
7) was asked to babysit by another parent in the class. Excellent! More money!
8) closed two of my accounts with evil BBVA Compass. I hope to seamlessly open an account at a credit union and shift over
9) my body was cooperative at the chiropractor! Usually it isn't!
10) dance class again. I love being back in this!
11) someone from another classroom commending me on catching and preventing a bite. I'll take positive feedback wherever I can get it!
12) confirmed with my boss that I will get to observe parent teacher conferences this time!
13) allowed myself a little bit of heat. Perhaps I will go back on it later, but it's nice to have the apartment a little warmer than the outside.
14) made marshmallows!!! They are really good but also super rich. I ate four and had to lie down the rest of the day.
15) also made pumpkin spice pumpkin ale bread. It is delicious and unlike the marshmallows did not make me sick.
16) had a nice lazy weekend (apart from not feeling well)
17) we got rain all weekend long! Maybe the lakes will rise again.

Day 65
1. I'm not dead from soreness! Which means two things: 1) the bath worked! And 2) I've still got it!
2. I've been doing a weird collage thing from my ceiling. It's looking pretty cool! It doesn't photograph well so you will just have to believe me.
3. Got to finally start watching psych again. It only airs episodes online 30 days after the original airdate. I just saw the Halloween episode.
4. Got my new Netflix in the mail. Chess: in concert. It's a musical themed to chess, but the whole chess theme is more of a life metaphor rather than a bishop and a knight singing together. At least I think so. I'll keep you posted tomorrow when there is nothing on tv.
5. A child at work has started saying my name! Okay, it sounds more like "Day" but I know who she means. Now to get the other ones started.
6. I'm still just so happy I danced. I can't wait to go back.

Days 59-64
Again, I'm going to summarize.
1. Started a new collage project on the ceiling of my sunroom. It's lots of fun.
2. My aunt took me shopping for my Christmas present. We went to vintage stores around town and had sooo much fun!
3. Thanksgiving was great! Made rolls from scratch and had a great time with my family.
4. Saw The Muppets. Ah, it was so good! A real tribute.
5. Started decorating for Christmas. I don't have a lot but it works!
6. Got my desk back finally! All my furniture is present and accounted for.
7. Mom helped me clean up my apartment. It looks so good now!
8. I have leftovers for about four days worth!
9. Mom gave me a bunch of groupons and gift cards to cover for the days I'm not paid over the holidays. I probably won't have to buy anything with my own money for awhile!
10. Went to a contemporary dance class, kept up, and fooled them into thinking I was a teenager coming from another studio. They were shocked that I hadn't danced in eight years.

Day 58
1. Remembered to bring the pumpkin cake to work.
2. Potluck means no buying lunch.
3. Everyone loved my pumpkin cake! There was nothing left of it and so many people asked for the recipe I had to write out an original and let people make copies.
4. Chatted with Dad about our dissatisfaction with BBVA Compass and our impending departure in favor of a credit union. Losing my paycheck was pretty much the last straw.
5. In bed by 10:30!
6. Family will be in town tonight which means I get to see them tomorrow!

Days 54-57
You know what? I'm not stressing myself about this. I'm giving you a summary of the last few days in no real order. You can deal, right?
1. Finished the last chair!
2. Got lots of sleep over the weekend.
3. Got some good groceries.
4. Had an amazing chiropractic adjustment which was sooo very needed. My back was a wreck.
5. Baking a pumpkin cake! My grandmother developed this recipe decades ago, and we make it every holiday.
6. Figured out I can hook my computer up to my tv and still reach to get Internet access! I've been watching Netflix and hulu on my tv since!
7. Emma came over on Friday! Lots of fun just chatting, eating an entire large pizza, and watching Jim Henson's "The Storyteller"

Days 51, 52, and 53
Day 51
1. Babysat! Money!
2. Caught a yoga class afterwards. Kudalini yoga is so hard! Got a good burn though.
3. Went home for lunch. Got to see my penny!
Day 52
1. Cleaned a bit.
2. Saw the chiropractor during lunch. I adjust so much better in the middle of the day.
3. Got my table, the last chair for my project, and a china hutch! My uncle helped and we got it all set up before 9:30.
Day 53
1. Got to work on time.
2. Home for lunch. It's just so nice to come lay down on my bed.
3. Ate lunch sitting at my table!
4. Found some roach killing solutions (you die! Die!)
5. Got to put kids down for nap rather than shadow lunch tables today. There are only so many times a person can say "take bites! Use your spoon to scoop and bite!"
6. Thanksgiving is soon! Week from today!
