I don't have too much exciting to update yet this month.
11. I ironed all of the seams on my quilt and it is ready to be cut into small squares
13. I've been practicing "Zombie"
16. I've already journaled three times this month, so this goal is getting on track
24. I've been searching for jobs every day, and I've applied for two more. I also updated my OLAS profile, and my wiki portfolio with my latests information.
40. I missed doing a tv free night last week, but I did it in the first week of March
44. I have cooked twice for my family. I made parmesan dijon chicken one week, and stuffed shells this past week.
63. I finally got insurance! I went to one doctor today, and have two more appointments with other doctors I needed to see.
67. I already messed up my exercising for this month. I'm not sure how to motivate myself.
72. I took one video with my flip camera at the St. Patrick's day parade after party.
75. I went to one local event. My family and I went to the Binghamton St. Patrick's day parade, as well as the after party at Seton school. We had good food, beer, and lots of bagpipe music.
85. I've been keeping up with collecting my change. I try to use mostly my bills so that the change will add up faster.

End of February update
11. I have sewn all of my quilt strips together and am 2/3 of the way through ironing the seams
13. I've started learning my first bass guitar song. "Zombie" by the Cranberries. I picked it because I like it and it is not one note repeated over and over. It also isn't too fast or wide-spread on the frets for my poor out of practice fingers.
16. I still only wrote in my journal twice last month instead of the 5 I am supposed to. I'll keep trying this goal though. I need to make writing more interesting so that I'll want to do it.
20. I finished another book! Becoming Jane Eyre by Shiela Kohler. I'll write a review here soon
24. I kept up with my job search every week this month. I did not find a job, although I am on a sub list for one school district now.
27. Justin bought me a really nice new dress. I wore it out for Valentine's day, but I've decided that with the right stockings, shoes, and sweater I would be appropriate for teaching.
37. I have watched my "I" movie: The Invention of Lying. I will be updating shortly with a review.
40. I was also able to have one day a week without watching tv after 7
44. I've kept up with cooking for my family at home. This past week I cooked sirloin tips with mashed potatoes.
45. I did a lot of dining out this month. Between Valentine's day, Justin having a job, my dad's birthday, and going to Lake Placid, I went to 5 Restaurants. I'll write an update about this.
46. I tried six new kinds of beer this month at the Lake Placid Pub and Brewery. Justin and I got their six beer sampler. I'll add a post with the beers. My total is now 7/20
47. I created a sign reminding me to "speak up" and posted it near my mirror in my bedroom
72. The other night I created 2 more flip videos of Justin and his niece playing a wii dancing game

Day 26 update
Here is what I am working on or have completed now:
11. I have been working on my quilt. So far I have cut out all of my strips, and sewn the green and yellow strips together. Next up I'll be adding red strips.
16. I failed to write in my journal at all in January, so I'm going to make more of an effort to get my five entries in February
24. I have not gotten a job yet, but I've created a schedule for myself to check ads in different places every day.
35. So far I have cut out a few shows. I am not watching Models of the Runway after Project Runway. After last week's episode proved the show is getting really stupid, I'm going to stop watching Private Practice. I'm also seriously considering dropping Heroes. I know I'm way behind on giving up on that one
37. I have another movie to add to the list. I've finally watched the Bourne Identity.
40. I have been keeping up with this goal to stop watching tv after 7 once a week
44. I have been cooking once a week for my family. This past week I cooked Macaroni and Cheese.
46. I started my beer drinking goal last night. I had double dog double pale ale at the Cyber Cafe. It was very strong in both flavor and alcohol content, but I liked it.
49. The above was also mine and Justin's January date night. We went out to the Cyber Cafe to see a funk band. It wasn't quite our type of music, but it was entertaining and the singer was very talented. We had a couple of beers, but decided to go out for desert after the show. We went out for ice cream.

11. Finish my quilt
I will consider this goal complete if/when: My quilt that I have already started is finished by the end of my 1001 days
Why this goal is on my list: I bought the fabric for this autumn-themed quilt at least two years ago. So far I have washed, ironed, and cut it in strips. There is a lot of work left to do, but I would like to finish it.
I will update the progress of this goal through blog posts here
Goal progress: in progress:
All strips are sewn together and the seams have been ironed
