DAY 6: Recap and updates

I planned on doing this post Friday with one week left on my countdown... but since I was surprised with a birthday party Friday night I had to use Saturday as a recovery day.  A perfect day to reflect on my progress, to see what things are left on my list and to make sure I am on track!  I also wanted to update you on a couple tasks I had completed and some of the follow-ups.

DAY 30: Send out Komen 3-Day for the Cure donation emails

• So far I have raised $975.00, about 40% of my goal!  I have about a month left to complete my goal!  You can still donate here!!

DAY 28: Bike tour around Chicago




DAY 27: Windy City Wine Festival

• Finally picked up my almond flavored sparkling wine and it is chilling in the fridge!

DAY 26: Chicago Bears football game


Day 25: Twinkie goes to the vet

• I received Twinkie's city registration in the mail and I still need to register him with my building!

DAY 24: Pottery painting

The finished star!

DAY 23: Cooking class-Chicken 101

DAY 7: Surprise party in NYC




It has been such a busy and exciting month so far!  I can't believe how quickly it has all flown by.  Here is what I have remaining on my list:

• Skydiving (we tried to go in New York and it was too windy so it was cancelled)
• Kyaking in the Chicago River (after multiple attempts my reservation keeps getting cancelled)

Both of those activities are something I still want to do, but it just doesn't look like it will be completed by the end of this week. 

• Pull my credit score and see what in the world is going on with that.
• Adopt a soldier.
• PAWS animal volunteer orientation meeting and Jr. League informational meeting.
• Book club meeting. (and actually finish the book this time)
• Send resumes out and commit to finding a job (I purposely waited until the end of this project for this one...I need to focus 100% on this!)

ALMOST THERE! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!
