Here's the thing- I don't want the same things that I wanted 550 days ago.
~Raw food? Not so interested.
~Handmade dinner ware? Still interested, but in a post baby era. I like my fiestaware, especially when it breaks.
~My carpet shampooer? Matt learned how to use it, can I count that?
~The four books I wanted to read aloud to Ava? I was totally forgetting about The Little House on the Prairie series. I must read those first, and I am, and she is loving it.
~Rollers for my hair? Um, I chopped it off instead.
~The FOURTEEN books I wanted to read? Turns out that this mothering overloaded brain of mine just wants to relax with some easy fantasy fiction. Nothing too grown up or serious. Again, something I'd like to explore in a post baby era.
~And, I don't need to knit a baby blanket, I had others make them for me.
Then we have the 8 items in purple that I consider a work in progress. Some of them are plain ridiculous. Just make that healthy cookie recipe already!
This leaves me with 48 things in 451 days. Not as daunting as 81. Maybe I'll get really motivated and throw the whole list out!
