Just got back from taking the cats to the vet... both of them got distemper and rabies shots... and they also both have EAR MITES!
The vet washed out their ears and I have ear drops that I have to give them twice a day. Should be fun!
I have 1001 DAYS to complete 101 THINGS. Here's how it works: You list 101 things that you want to accomplish in 1001 days (about 2.75 years). The "things" can be major lifestyle changes or seemingly inconsequential items, like "try sushi." Either one could make you sick or kill you. Hopefully neither will happen and this blog will help keep me motivated!

#4 Officially complete... with 3 more items in the works!
38. Go white water rafting - I will be doing this next Sunday! We're rafting the Youghiogheny in a little over a week. :) We're also going camping, so I just ordered the tent from Amazon... I figure (hope) that we'll be camping more frequently. I haven't decided what to do with the cats yet - I haven't emailed our pet sitter!
51. Learn French (enough to be able to get through a day in Paris unassisted) - I will be starting on this journey next Tuesday. My French class begins then... just bought my books for all of my classes... it was almost $500 for all of my books. I still have to buy a graphing calculator, too!
83. Take Piper to get the rest of her shots in 2007 - I am taking both Piper and Draco to the vet next Monday (27th) to get all of their shots. I'm a bad mommy, I've never taken them to the vet!! They're both fixed and Draco had all of his shots when we adopted him, but Piper still needed her rabies and distemper shots. They'll be real happy with me when we're done, I'm sure!!
I was just thinking of when I'm going to complete #60 - Open Champagne from France trip in 2006. There are 3 occasions that would be worth opening that bottle up in the next year - Brian upgrading to Captain, us getting engaged, and buying a house. If I had to bet, I would say that we will be opening it for Brian's upgrade. I guess at that time we'll decide whether to open it when we get the news or after he passes his checkride. Hmmm.

#4 nearly complete!
As I'm typing this, my StorageSync Backup is humming along. Currently there are 3 Gigs that have been backed up... there are about 37 to go. The external hard drive came with the storagesync software... it's pretty handy! After this initial back up, subsequent back ups should be a lot easier. The program has been running for a while... I'm just going to let it run when I go to bed, since I don't know how long it will take. I'll post again once it's officially backed up.
Woo-hoo!
Woo-hoo!

An update on my progress... or lack thereof
It's been a while since I've made an entry, so I thought that I would make one to say that I haven't done much of anything. My internet time became a little too involved in following the "Toddler on a Plane" story... I had to put up a good fight, of course!!
So I've been spending more time doing nothing and less time doing something.
But that's okay because classes start in less than 3 weeks and I will have no life after that. :( I'm taking 11 credits and am working full time. I must really be a glutton for punishment! One of the classes will be taken online, so at least I'll have a little bit of flexibility. That's also my test for how disciplined I can be.
Well, my 160 Gig hard drive is still sitting in it's factory packaging. It's an awfully expensive knick-knack, so I may have to think about doing something with it. My goal is to accomplish #4 this weekend. I swear. Brian will be home, so I'm hoping that we can both motivate each other to get our crap on there.
On the cleaning out Denton house (#12) topic, I have decided to hire professionals for the job. It's been two years since my dad died (2 years on August 5th), and I need to get my ass in gear. It's expensive, but they specialize in hoarders and big messes like that. I'm hoping that I have more success in selling it (the house, not the crap - but I'd like to sell as much as possible, since a lot of it is quality junk... my dad loved ebay!) than Crystal has had with her house in MI. I've been planning on using part of the funds from that for the downpayment for our house in PA.
Yes, in case you didn't know, Brian and I are moving to PA next year so that he can be closer to work. Commuting sucks, and it's taking a toll on both of us. Once he upgrades to Captain, he'll be back on reserve and our QOL will be nil. The good news is that my company has offices in PA, and my boss loves me. Of course, he's going to be pissed when I leave (he told me that I needed to give him 6 months notice), but said that he'll support me in whatever I want to do. He's a good guy. :)
Well, it's getting late and I am super tired. Guess I'm getting old. Thanks for reading!
