September 22, 2008 Different Stuff
Been busy lately with house things,
but not necessarily with list things.
Made a few changes, specifically to my professional goals. Moving in a bit of a different direction, I guess we'll see how that goes.
Book reading's going slower than anticipated, prolly won't reach that goal.
awesome! : D
might make a couple more changes, but we'll see.

May 19, 2008 Updates!
Lots of updates with some pics, finally!
One thing I've learned with this list is that sometimes things happen that makes people change their goals before they reach them. For me this is specifically true in my professional career. As a result i'm planning on adjusting a few of the goals in that section to be more aligned with where i'm heading.
ok!

It's been about a month, and the weather is significantly better now than last month!
So I have a picture of the puzzle, i'll put it up and cross it off.
built a bird feeder! going to finish it up and take a picture this weekend.
did a poetry reading in fredericton with the qwerty crew.
professional side of things may be taking a different turn, so i might actually adjust some of those goals, we'll see. is that cheating? i dunno, who am i cheating? myself? i'm ok with it.

February 18, 2008 Skates N' Teeth
Hit the archive for public skating deets, it was a good time.
Losing some wisdom teeth this Wednesday. Not looking forward to it. I've never even had surgery before, so it should be interesting, and sucky.
