Update

So I'm clearly bad at updating this blog - but - I haven't forgotten my list and I am making some progress.

1. I read consistently, list or no list. And there's an awesome $1 dollar bookstore by my house. This one is too easy for me.

10. After the debauchery of St. Pat's, I decided to do the no booze for 30 days thing. It's perfect timing, because April 17th is Coachella. Wish me luck.

16. I completed #16 because a forceful teller at my bank practically tied me up and made me open one. So that's good, I guess.

Progress is progress....the no booze thing should be interesting.

#8 will be a breeze


#8 on my list is a very fun, muy importante item for a boozy floozy like me.

In fact, I started tonight.

Wine!

I don't drink THAT much wine, really. Maybe a bottle a week? But sometimes none. And I usually drink Golden Gate Vitners...cause it's $2.50 and easy to drink. I'm not serious about my wine. I have never tasted winter raspberries or smoked mahogany or trout or whatever in my wine. 

Sometimes I wish I had that ability.

I don't drink wine when I go out, because 2 glasses and I'm doooone. Like done done. However, drinking it at home, after a long work day, has a magical quality and sometimes I can finish a bottle! Magical. Really.

So. 7 Deadly Zins is yum. I appprove. I think it is also affordable, which is a plus. This particular bottle was a birthday gift from my good friends Russ and Jessica. It seems a little more potent then my usual GG merlot, so I don't forsee an empty bottle tonight. Headache City is not on my agenda for Friday morning. 


(Marc Johns is my new find. Love his post-it artwork. Plus, this particular piece ties in nicely with my topic.)

Easy as cake....cupcakes, I mean


#52 can be crossed off the list!

I made cupcakes, from scratch, for the very first time! Read more about it here

Gabby with Goals

So I thought it would be a good idea to have a place to keep track of my progress through 101 in 1001. This will be that place!

Who Are You?:
I'm Gabby! Read my blog here. It's a pretty good picture of who I am.

Why Are You Doing This?:
Because I can, betches! No, seriously, I stumbled across the idea on someone else's blog. I went to the official website and was inspired. Plus, I'm getting older and there is lots I want to accomplish!

Do You Really Think You'll Do Everything On Your List?:
No. Probably not. But maybe! I'm going to try.
