101 Things in 1001 Days update

I just updated my list having crossed off a few more things that I have done.

20. Start an investment portfolio.
28. Do Pilates (I signed up to an 8-week course and am loving it!)
70. Fix my iTunes library (once I figured out how to show exact duplicates, I was well sorted).

It's kinda scary how fast time is getting away from me. I'm already halfway through the time from when I started this challenge of 101 Things in 1001 (963) Days... now there's only 471 days left to do MANY things.

I always knew that I wouldn't get all of the things crossed off, but I hope that the important ones work themselves out!

Playing with the new Blogger

Don't mind me, I'm just having a play with the updated Blogger. Amazingly, it's acting like what I would expect from a Google product instead of the rubbish I've been experiencing for the past few months!

52 Lists, 52 Weeks - Week 11: "Things I Will Miss About Summer".

Well, I have been fairly absent from my blog in the last month, and so haven't completed all of my lists for the 52 Lists, 52 Weeks meme.

I liked this week's theme though..."Things I Will Miss About Summer". Except, I live in the Southern Hemisphere, so currently it is Winter so I am swapping it about a bit and changing it to "Things I Will Miss About Winter".

There's not much I will miss about Winter. I don't like Winter as a rule, but I have got a few things that I look forward to once the cold weather starts each year:

- Cute tights

- Cute coats
- Being able to sleep comfortably at night time and getting nice and warm
- Stew and other yummy winter foods
- Winter soccer season.

But oh, how I love Summer! So here's a list of things that I look forward to for Summer:

- It not being dark when I leave home. Or get home for that matter.
- The beach
- Watermelon
- Camping
- Holidays
- Warmth and sunshine

I guess I'm looking forward to Summer so much as I'm planning two little holidays for December and January and the dreariness of Winter has been depressing me this month.

52 Lists, 52 Weeks - Week 7: "Things To Do On A Rainy Day".

Oops, I think I missed last week's list!

My list of things to do on a rainy day are pretty simple:

- Stay inside.
- Snuggle under doona on the couch and watch multiple episodes of TV on DVD... OR
- Snuggle under doona on the couch and read books... OR
- Snuggle under doona on the couch and play with iPad.
- All while drinking copious amounts of tea.

Fun! I actually love rainy days, as long as I don't have to go outside!

Tonight

I'm going to see these lovely ladies with a friend.

Can't wait!

52 Lists, 52 Weeks - Week 5: "A Waiting List of Books".

This week's challenge for 52 Lists, 52 Weeks is "A Waiting List of Books". Now for those of you that have read this blog at all over time, you will know that I am a voracious reader of books, and that I have a large collection. So as you can imagine, any waiting list of books that I have is going to be pretty damn big.

In no particular order:

- A Song of Ice and Fire series (halfway through the first book of the series)

- Norwegian Wood (I won this book from the Sydney Film Festival)

- Island Beneath the Sea

- The Help (I wanted to see the film, but thought I'd read the book first)

52 Lists, 52 Weeks - Week 4: "My Wish List".

A quick and easy post! My wish list is pretty simple: travel, a pretty book and better organisation. Achievable for sure!
