Calling all Hazelnut testimonies!

"Hazelnut says: 51. I have lowered my intake of beer, you can ask anyone! im not lying, seriously!"

I can personally vouch for this, and for the fact that so far, which is over a month... she has not hit her weekly 6 pack limit once. She does not carry any unused beers over week to week, and for every beer she has... she has a bottle of water. How's that for amazing! Who is this new woman?

So.... to show my appreciation and support, and as thanks for my new Brita (thanks hazelnut).... I'm looking to create a good new habit of my own. So here's the deal Hazelnut: I see your beer and raise you coffee and cola (my addictions.) Which means, for every beer, coffee and cola I drink, I will match it with one water. Do you see my raise or do you fold? Oooooooo... didn't see that coming did you?

#20 & # 92 - In progress

Well, I am making progress with this thing... bit by bit. Hazelnut has helped me along with this one as well, plying friends with alcohol to get them to commit to this.... JK!! But still.... Brandy has a list in progress and so do Stands with Juice and Juicy Fruit (combined list... I like it, wish I had thought of that!) My friend J has started a list and I have put a call out (that NOONE is answering) over a local website I am a part of.

Having said that, I wanna help Hazelnut with her list.... so I am watching the weakerthans website like a Honey colored Hawk ;)

I'm partway thru #20 which has been interesting. I am crocheting a queen size blanket. Found I had one barely started, and it turns out, didn't buy enough wool for. Seems funny that most of the time when I have set out to make any kind of blanket for anyone, I have not completed it, or when I have... they are no longer part of my life. This list thing pokes at all sorts of hidden stuff in my psyche... Nonetheless... crocheting has proven very therapeutic considering all my technical difficulties of late. I think I have "sleep outside" twice on my list... I either do it twice or add "get new computer" or "switch to mac" in it's place. I did find a website that would allow you to upload a naughty picture and they would knit it into a blanket for ya..... That will be on my naughty list to do.... *grins*

I did go puddle jumping, but have not yet purchased "really cute gumboots", which it turns out are a really good idea when jumping in puddles... Live & learn. ~ Honey

#49. Install new speakers in "The Truck"

Well Hazelnut has installed new speakers in her truck... Which, because I am a girly girl... were promptly pulled out of the wall with my immense luggage. (eerp!) which may have indeed shorted out her stereo.... so.... My #102... fix Hazelnuts speakers and stereo. I'm so sorry!

#92 - Get 5 people to make 101 list

Well, so far I have 2 down. As you can see, Hazelnut was #1. Dubya is #2....

It's hard to get people to do this... but at the same time, it takes a certain type of character to make such a weird ass and yet totally sane commitment to the far reaching and challenging in one's own name.

I carry my list in my wallet now, I find it gives me comfort. I need a checklist to keep me honest. The reason for this list madness for me is the following: I really love the people in my life, and that gives my life so much meaning. Particularly with my children, they are the reason I get up and live each day... however I forget not to live each day just for them... that I need to be someone on my own too. SO.... it's a constant reminder to take care of myself.

Dubya's friend finds the 'countdown" intimidating... I find it exciting. I just had a picture of myself on day 30 scrambling to cut my list down...tic tock` tic tock... lol, jumping out of a plane in another country onto a train, saying hail marry's in my language, during sunset, wait was that on the naughty list? jk.....

I have made progress on #63 & #96 which could lead to #82 & #85.... lol, I'm a multitasker ;)

#25 - See Yvette Narlock in Concert

Well thanks to a bribe by Hazelnut.... for completing a non list related task, I got concert tickets to see Yvette Narlock in concert with an Auzzi band called 'Fruit'. I was accompanied by quite the "SWEETIE" posse including, Stands with Juice, Juicy Fruit, Tall Brenda, Mrs & Mrs Corolla and then later Hazelnut & British Girl.... as you can see, there were too many to mention. Oh woe is moi, to be surrounded by beautiful women all night!

I did not get a picture with Yvette.... prrrr... but i did get 2 cd's. The gals monopolized Yvette's time while I was spilling my insides in the smoking room to Juicy Fruit... but got my cd's autographed. The best part? It says "To Super Indian Woman.... Yum! Yvette" (Special Thanks for that!)

I didn't get a picture of Yvette and I together but I do have a picture of me and my new acoustic crush... Mel Watson, the horn player from 'Fruit'. Juicy Fruit and I got to chat to her while she was guarding her gear.... and snapped this pic... Gaia Bless camera phones, There might be something to this list thing after all. ~ Thank you Hazelnut ~ Huggles! Huney.
