The Devil Is Lacing Up His Ice Skates

Please don't tell anyone, but I rooted for the Steelers today.  Well, as much as I can root for a team that's not the Colts and that I hate with ever fiber of my being.   Sigh...I see my second favorite Manning's team lost today, so I officially don't give a rat's butt about the rest of the playoffs.  

Fourth Task Finito!

Number 65 on the list is done.   Several months ago, we noticed the seam on the back cushion of the loveseat was coming apart, and the cushion itself was actually separating from the frame.  It also feels like the spring or whatever support system is on the left side is shot, as that side feels a little saggy.   I can't really do anything about the sag, but at least I used my "killer" seamstress skills to close up the cushion and secure it.  Now, Arnold Ziffel, I mean - Ringo won't be able to sit up there and pull the stuffing out.  Ahhhh, I love living in Green Acres.  I believe this damage was caused by teenagers hurling themselves onto the loveseat as teenagers as wont to do, but certain people in this house got very defensive when I suggested that, threw a tantrum and hurled themselves onto the loveseat in protest.  Even though most people never would have noticed it, I feel much better getting that repaired.  Now, I can watch my "stories" with a clear conscience.

Oh, and TBD Charity now has a whopping $20.

Third Task Accomplished

Number 72 (wearing my glasses instead of contacts for one week) on the list is done.  Let me tell you, it was painful - literally.  All I got for my trouble were two sore spots on the bridge of my nose.   However, I did look pretty sexy.

My TBD charity got another $5...so the pot's up to $15 now.  Go me.

Colts 17, Chargers 23

Trying to look on the bright side...

At least this frees up the rest of the month for shopping!

Second Task Accomplished

Number Nine, Number Nine.  Mark that one off my list.

Day 3, and I've already accomplished two tasks.   When I made the list, we had just enjoyed the Broadway production of The Lion King at The Murat so including attendance at events like this was at the top of my mind.  No sooner did I make my list, I was offered two free tickets to see This Wonderful Life, a one-man adaptation of the holiday classic, It's a Wonderful Life, at Indiana Repertory Theatre.  I'm not obsessed with this movie as some people are, but I don't think you have to be to appreciate this show.  Lily's only seen bits and pieces of the movie, and she really enjoyed it.  Jerry Richardson did a great job acting out all the parts, and the simple stage and few props used are a wonderful complement to his performance.  

Additionally, I now have $10 in my TBD charity account.

First Task Accomplished

WOOOOOT!!!  

The first goal of my 101 Things to do in 1001 Days (#100) has been completed.  My friend, Karen, was so inspired by my list that she started one of her own!  Her list is interesting, and I would link you to it, but she posted it on Facebook, not a blog.  Sorry, you'll just have to take my word for how cool it is.  But here's a picture of Karen and her man, just because they're so cute, and he's involved in her #35 and #54!

That also means the first $5 goes into my TBD charity account.  

Good luck, Karen!

While I'm very happy for Peyton, I started getting a sinking feeling in my stomach about 30 minutes ago.  No, it wasn't the shrimp scampi I had for dinner.  I just feel very nervous about this.  I hope this is all unfounded and the Colts come out swinging and kick some Charger ass.  Oh, who am I kidding?  If they win by 1, I'll be happy!
