I knocked off two more items!
13. Get a car -- I really didn't plan on doing this for a couple years, but about a month ago, something just snapped and I couldn't take it (being carless) anymore. So I looked on Craigslist and e-mailed my dad, who went a little nuts looking around for me. He eventually came up with this:
I think this is a photo the seller took. It's been spiffed up a little since then, but this is basically what it looks like. Such a cutie! Dad did a great job dealing with some issues it had, and it ended up being a pretty good deal. Right now it's parked outside the post (free parking on holidays!) and I'll take it to Thanksgiving dinner later today. It is so nice to be able to get myself places.28. Learn to knit -- I was thinking a couple weeks back about how I hadn't been very good at keeping this project going, so I recruited Angie and Sara to join me at a knitting class in Capitol Hill. It was pretty cool. We started on a scarf, and when we're done we're supposed to take it back to them to get help finishing it off. It's pretty slow going for me because I've messed up and had to start over a couple times, but it's coming along, and I'm ready to switch yarn colors. It's going to be a light blue (shown) and darker blue.
In other news, regarding No. 12, I hit 160, which was super exciting, though I think right now I'm probably at 162 (whoops). And the fact that Thanksgiving dinner's tonight and I'm hosting people for dinner tomorrow does not bode well for my next weigh-in either. Oh yeah and I ate a million cookies at annual high-school-friends game night last night. I'm a sucker for homemade baked goods. Anyway, I am really excited about getting to 159 because being in the 150s just seems crazy to me. Also that's my original goal, but my total goal is definitely 150. Only 10(ish) to go!
