A Quick 101 Update

I really must do better about writing a post every week or two.  I think of things to write about, but never sit down and do it.  So when I was in DC a couple of things were checked off my 101 List.  Woot!

11.  Watch Deer Hunter.
Halfway through this movie when the Russian roulette scene began I was pretty sure I'd seen it before.  Then when the second Russian roulette scene began I was DEFINITELY sure I'd seen it before.  I will say I watched it more intently this time because the movie seemed to make more sense to me than in the past.  I can also see why it's such a big movie to some people. 

50.  Buy a vegetarian cookbook.
Well, I haven't purchased it, but I have selected the cookbook I want to purchase so we'll call In Progress.  When I was house sitting they had several vegetarian cookbooks that I perused and I fell in love this one:  Moosewood Restaurant: Simple Suppers.  I'm waiting until I have a new home to buy it for myself.

69.  Visit the Air and Space museum. DC and VA parts
Partially complete.  I spent one afternoon visiting the Air & Space Museum in DC along with a visit to the National Art Gallery.  I'm being lazy right now, but will post photos later.  I didn't go over to the MLK, Jr Memorial that day because it was freezing and raining and I was not feeling that committed. 

100.  Convince at least one new person to join in on the 101 Fun.
My cousin, Dawn, decided to join in on the fun over at her blog, The Lens View.  Woot!  I haven't convinced Michelle yet, but she wants to do an Ab Challenge with me, so I'll take it!
