Sadly, my grandmother passed away on October 13, 2008 so I had to go home this week for the funeral.
The service was nice, and I had a good time spending quality time with my family which rarely happens, so I guess we made the most of the bad circumstances for the visit.
I stayed a little extra on Thursday to clean out the closet in my bedroom at my Dad's house. I ended up coming home with a carload of crap that still needs to be unpacked and put away.
The good news is I can cross number 27 off of my list, but the bad news is, it's going to put me behind a little on number 1 because I'm going to have to stick all of the stuff in a closet until I have time to deal with what I want to do with it.
It was kind of depressing to find a dress that I used to wear in high school and find that there is no way in hell it would ever fit me now. It was SO tiny! I thought I was FAT, so incredibly FAT then! I'm only about 35 lbs heavier now, but geez, it's crazy to think about it. Perhaps it will motivate me for number 72. Get in shape.
I also asked my cousins to come out and finish the garage for me and we will party for a weekend, and they seemed like it was a possibility, so I might be well on my way to crossing off number 28.

8. Visit Pittsburgh at least once a year
I moved to Ohio in July of 2003, first to Cincinnati and then in November of '05 to Columbus. It really bends my mind to think that I have not lived in Pittsburgh for over 5 years now. Crazy sometimes where life drops you off and doesn't come back to get you. The last visit I made home was around September the 12th, and since that is pretty darn close, I'm counting that as my visit this year.
1 of 3 accomplished.
1 of 3 accomplished.
101. Watch all the Best Picture winning movies since I was born.
I am cheating on this one, because I have seen some of these movies a million times. I can almost dictate to you some of the words.
So here are the ones that I am crossing off:
1988-Rain Man -"Gotta watch Wapner"
1990-Dances With Wolves
1991-Silence of the Lambs
1993-Schindler's List
1994-Forrest Gump
1995-Braveheart
1997-Titanic
1998-Shakespeare in Love
1999-American Beauty
2000-Gladiator
2003-LOTR-Return of the King
2006-The Departed

51. Get Shawn Drunk
Recieved confirmation that my Handgrenades have been ordered. This puts me well on my way to accomplishing #51.
For those of you who don't know my dear husband, he doesn't drink. Which, made marrying me all that more interesting and challenging I'm sure. Well...I take that back, he does drink, just not enough to get drunk. He is 6'5 and not a skinny minny so I'm guessing that it will take a lot of alcohol to accomplish this task. I think a coupla handgrenades ought to do the trick. Halloween drunkedness here we come! I just hope he doesn't puke on me. :)
I'll keep you posted.

#1. Organize and clean out every closet in my house.
Last weekend, I decided it was high time to get something crossed off of my list, because it began on September 23 and well last weekend was October 4 and I hadn't done anything yet.
Shawn was at a golf outing on Saturday, and me being the loser that I am, decided to start cleaning. I managed to clean out and organize one closet. I can't cross this off my list but, I guess that is one down.
