Item #40: We've got to get more rice! I just played for 980 more, to round out our current total to 61000. We have a long way to go!
Item #89: I forgot to mention in the previous post that H talked to the music trio he enjoyed at the farmers' market & got some leads on some places that might teach banjo!
In October, we are setting our sights on #24 (clean our gutters) and #83 (make a crockpot meal once a week for a month).

Item #41: H has now tried broccoli, which he pronounced tolerable, and this makes 9/10 foods he's supposed to try. One more & we'll be done with this item!
Item #51: Sadly, on Friday, H's hard work didn't show up on the scale. I am certain it's a temporary condition and am behind him 100%!
Item #81: Although we spent last night at a hotel, I did not abscond with any travel sized soaps or shampoo. *grin*
Item #86: H was reluctant to go to the Farmers' Market this weekend, but when a parking space opened right where he was going to wait for me, he really didn't have much of an excuse. We purchased peaches, apples, kettle corn & cookies, all to take down to my parents for the weekend. But the best part? The live music!

Item #29: We are on our last day of a month with no fast food! I am confident we'll make it through the remainder of the day, so I'll just go ahead and check this one off. We have decided to make this a regular challenge for us -- so our plan is that starting tomorrow, we can have fast food, if we want. Once we have fast food, the clock resets & we have to wait another month ... or more, if we feel like it ... and we'll just keep repeating it!
Item #41: I'm waiting for H to try his next 3 foods, and then we'll be done with this one, too. *grin* Comically, I tried 2 more on Tuesday -- parsnips and cauliflower. They were minced & melded into a cold salad, and they were pretty tasty, but I don't know if I'd rush out and have more of it tomorrow.
edit: I forgot to give H credit for the lima beans he tried last week. He only has 2 more foods to try. And he's trying to weasel out of it.
Item #51: According to the gym scale, I'm down 5 pounds ... according to the one at home, I've lost 2. Either way, it's the right direction. H weighs in tomorrow ... and I fully expect that he will have lost some weight, too!
Item #79: I made chocolate chip cookies & sent them with H to take into work, for no reason, yesterday. It turned out that they were dealing with some massive, unexpected issues ... so the cookies were much appreciated!!!
Item #81: I used up one of the refill bottles for handsoap & pitched it in the recycling. Slowly our stash is shrinking. Soon, we'll be completely out of travel-size shampoo (okay, I'm saving a couple of bottles for houseguests), and we'll have to start buying it at the store!

Item #80: I forgot to mention that I gifted Bethany with 2 bars of my handmade soap. *grin* We're nowhere near "running low" on soaps ... but I will be making more in another month or so, to make for handmade gifts. Speak up if you want some soap! LOL. 'Cept for Kim, you l'il minx! I saw those 2 unused bars in your bathroom yesterday. Use 'em! I'll make more!!!

Kim & I met up with Bethany this morning, braving the persistent rain and the long wait to brunch at "Toast 2", in Bucktown! I loved our conversation & instant connection -- as Bethany said, you wind up knowing an awful lot about a person by reading their blog!!! I'm so glad we connected through this 101 Things process & I look forward to staying in touch with her!

Item #33: Today it's been pouring rain (enough that we may have actually gotten Item #22 done inadvertently, to powerwash the house! *wink*) , so we had a wonderful indoor project, to make cinnamon rolls from scratch. They smelled wonderful while cooking & I think we were both very satisfied with how they turned out. I think next time I'll let them rise a bit longer, both in the bowl & in the pan ... they were a little tough, but not bad at all, considering I hadn't made them in about 10 years & H has never made them!
And it's not on our list, but it's related to it ... tomorrow Kim and I are planning on meeting up with a fellow 101 list blogger from afar, while she's visiting Chicago! It should be fun!
