I completed this task last year, but just wanted to share that I, in the last week, have bought a pair of striped "dress pants" and a pair of black linen pants.

Last week I walked to work two mornings in a row. The rain was pouring down the second morning. I decided to take an extra turn in the park and ended up walking for 40 minutes (as opposed to 25-30 if I take the normal route).I was dressed in my rain gear and ended up enjoying the sound of water landing on the hood.I also realized that I need to water-proof my shoes again; my socks were drenched...

It looks like I'll finish this one of in June. If everything goes as plans, my ticket to a capital is booked today. By an assistant at work.And the capital is in Asia!

I did it!A couple of weeks ago, boyfriend and I spent a night at a spa hotel. I was in charge of reservations and I upgraded us a bit... We had a spa suite with a separate room for a tub for two, view of the ocean and a great light- and sound attire that let us hear bird song from the speakers. We were also met by strawberries and a bottle of sparkling white wine. And I had a full glass of it!

I've completed and passed this one without making any progress report...Since last posting about this task I've had two different lunches with colleagues in restaurants I haven't been to before. I had turkey in the first one and pea soup with swedish pancakes for dessert in the second one.So, this task is officially completed!

The class has started! I've handed in the first assignment and Friday is the deadline for the second one. I feel challenged in this class and I thoroughly enjoy it!I declare this task finished even if the class hasn't ended yet as I specified the task to be "attend an evening class" and not "complete an evening class"...

I applied to three different writing classes for this semester and got accepted to them all. I chose to attend one of them and it's technically not an "evening class" in the way I meant when deciding on this task, but...It's an online class that I will have to take care of in the evenings. It's also more advanced and will give me university credits as opposed to the evening classes I had in mind.

So the weekend before last I made muffins again. I haven't done any in a long time but suddenly felt an urge for muffins with chocolate in them.I dug out an old recipe book from a book shelf and used the "basic recipe" and added pieces of two kinds of chocolate; one 70% with salt in it and one 85%. The muffins turned out delicious, even though all the chocolate ended up at the bottom...

I failed this task last year, but it worked better for me this past week. Actually, this past week and a half.

Thursday evening alst week, a group of colleagues went out to celebrate a birthday. We went to a restaurant I didn't even know existed. I had problems finding parking and ended up coming late. My pasta with clams was worth the parking hassle though...On Friday I was taken out for a work lunch. Our usual lunch restaurant (the few times we go out for lunch) only served Christmas buffet on Friday

This task has, to be honest, been done for 11 months by now. I just wanted to hold off woth the official closing of it until I had pictures of the fifth item I knit for someone else. I still don't have pictures of the sweater I knit for my father; a Cobblestone.In the last month I have also finished two pairs of fingerless mittens for others; one pair for my boyfriend and one for a colleague.So,

A couple of weeks ago I tried out a café I've been passing on foot and by bike for a couple of years. I've been curious to go in and have a look, but somehow, before this visit, I've always managed to come after opening hours.Anyways, they have great sandwiches (for example one with gorgonzola cheese and tomato jam) and I've actually been there three times now in the last month and a half.Last

I decided on a whim yesterday to finish this task!Boyfriend and I walked past a shopping centre and had a bit of time to pass until we met up with a friend of ours. I walked over to the record store and got myself two CDs.East Side Stories by Peter Jöback andSamling by Bo Kaspers Orkester

Done!!!I didn't give any notice here on my progress while doing this. Guess why? I was tired of making blog posts... :)But I succeeded in finishing the task by posting every day for 30 days from October 10th to November 8th. (In case you want to go see: you find my blog here.)

So the week is over. And I did good.I went to a grocery store five times this week buying as little as 6 eggs up to 27 items for food this weekend. If I saw an environmentally friendly alternative on the shelf I got that instead of the usual. I also opted out of buying juice twice as they didn't have an alternative but should've had if the fridge was full. I did the same with the same with

I started this on Monday while grocery shopping. I bought thirteen different items and 8 of them were marked as organic and environmentally friendly. The shop didn't have options for the other five items.I also brought my own fabric bag for the groceries so I wouldn't have to buy a plastic or paper one.

I did this again.We spent some time in Italy enjoying a vacation and I didn't check my emails, or anything on the Internet, or even sit by a computer from September 26th to October 5th. That's 10 whole days!

Time to add number 10 to this list.I met up with a friend and colleague on Wednesday night to have dinner and sit and chat for a while. We went to an Italian restaurant downtown. She had been there before and suggested us going. I had fish and risotto and a pannacotta for dessert. Lovely!

My back and my hips are still not alright. I do my exercises almost every day but I'm still sore and achy some days.I'm swamped at work for a couple of weeks now and when I came home yesterday I was in such a bad mood. Not angry or irritated, but weepy and pitiful...After feeling sorry for myself on the couch for an hour or two, I grabbed my yoga mat and did a couple of rounds of sun salutation

Saturday, my boyfriend and I had planned to visit an Italian restaurant we had been recommended. We got there at 4.30pm and realized it didn't open until 6pm...Luckily for us, there was another Italian restaurant just next to it. (My guess is that they were actually owned by the same person but had different focuses...) I had the most amazing pizza with Gorgonzola cheese, broccoli, fresh mushroom

I started this one yesterday when it was sunny and warm outside and I felt too restless to sit still and too aware of the fact that these lovely days might soon come to an end with Fall coming...In our house, we have 8 normal sized windows, a porch door in glass and three windows that are 2m/6'8" high. None of the windows can be parted, so every window consists of two sides of glass that needs to

I did it!At 8pm yesterday, I got my sneakers on and went out for awalk. I didn't bring my watch (it was in the bathroom and I only realized after I had tied my sneakers and as I had vacuumed earlier in the day I didn't want to tiptoe in to get it) but decided to be out for at least 8 songs from my mp3-player. Figured that would be at least 30 minutes.Coming back home I found out I had been out

I've gone another week eating lunches that I've brought from home. And all of these lunches I've prepared properly at home; four different salads for Monday to Thursday and today I had chicken wraps.

Now I'm close. Both to finishing this task and to the dead line for it...I walked home from work yesterday and got to work this morning on foot. I have one more walk to do. Before Monday comes.

Yesterday I strapped on my sneakers at 5pm and spent 40 minutes walking, power walking and jogging. Yes, I did jog some! I also went up and down some steep (but not very long) hills.I took a different route than I ususally do when I go out for walks. I found this great park area that makes for great walking and jogging on the grass (as opposed to the hard pavements). I'll definitely take this

I did it!!!I've brought food from home every day for two weeks. Mind you, it hasn't all been food I prepared and cooked at home, but it was food that at one point was in my fridge or in my cupboards... I've had yoghurt and sandwiches. I've had leftover grilled salmon. I've had cheese- and meatball salad twice. I've had veggies and sandwiches. And some more sandwiches.I've made some good

I walked home on Monday and left my bike at work. Tuesday I used the car as I had an appointemnnt to go to in the middle of the day. Yetsreday I walked to work in the morning and used the bike to get home.In 10 days, I have gone for 6 walks already. I think I'll be able to finish this task soon!

Boyfriend surprised me Staurday evening as he suggested us going for a walk. He was restless and needed to move around for a bit. It wasn't the fastest or most intense walk ever, but I wore sneakers and we were out for 45 minutes....

When I was making myself sandwiches this morning I realized I had brought food to work every day this week. I've had yoghurt, sandwiches, left over sallad and potatoes, and more sandwiches and yoghurt...If I keep this up for next week, I've succeeded this task.

I walked to work again today. I'll be picked up in a car going home though. Walking back and forth the same day left me with a sore body, so I'll try to walk one way instead of both.The easiest way to achive one walking direction a day (as opposed to none or two) would be to bike in the morning, walk home, walk in the morning and bike home... And leave the bike at work over night. This will

You might think I'm cheating here, but I'm the one making the rules for my 101in1001-project. Right? :)Yesterday I went for two walks; one from home to work, and one from work to home. I count this as being two separate walks as:1. it takes me 30 minutes to walk to work and that much walking equals a walk2. I got in my pair of sneakers and used my mp3-player as entertainment = walk3. I could've

I gave this task a shot last Friday. I failed.Boyfriend and I were at some friends' place and they suggested a round of TP. The men played in one team and the women in one. The men won. Mostly because of my boyfriend...

When I decided to include this task on the list I imagined to cross it off after having read something about World War 2 or the Viking times here in Scandinavia or the colonialism in the 15th and 16th century.But no...I can cross it off after having read the fifth book in the Earth's Children series by Jean M. Auel. I had read the previous four books years ago and decided to read the fifth one as

Last week, boyfriend and I met up after work for a couple of hours downtown. We decided to get something to eat and went to a place we've been to before only to find out that it had a new name, a new owner and a new menu...So, this ended up being a new restaurant to me as well as a new restaurant in town. :)

I know this task is already finished and crossed of the list (or made bold...), but I wanted to report that I actually went swimming in the sea this past Saturday. Boyfriend and I had to get out of our hot house and drove to the beach. After sitting there reading for an hour, I got in the water. And swam for several minutes!I haven't been in the sea for about two years...

My boyfriend and I escaped our hot house and spent two days and a night in Karlskrona.A really nice town! We walked around downtown and took a boat tour in the archipelago. We had a nice Italian meal and I got the biggest ice cream ever in an ice cream bar. We tried to go swimming in the sea but it was full of algae and we didn't go in.

Yesterday I bought Pet Shop Boys latest album; Yes.I've been a PSB-fan since I was 15 and I have most of their full albums (there are some remix albums that I haven't bought). I listened to this one yesterday and I have to say it feels sort of bland... Wonder if it'll grow on me.

Done!!!Thursday last week was a national holiday here in Sweden and we had time off from work. My boyfriend and I took the car and drove down south to walk along the waterfront for an hour. The weather was amazing with clear blue sky, sunshine and hardly any wind at all.This task could've been cleared as done earlier than this as I've been by the ocean a couple of times in between this post and

Well, I tried.Boyfriend and I were at a restaurant this weekend and the waitress messed up our order. She gave us both a glass of wine and instead of returning it, I thought I could try to drink it all.Halfway through the glass, I switched glasses with my boyfriend. Couldn't stand the taste anylonger...So, off to try some other time...

As of Saturday this task can be crossed off the list!I made a bet with my boyfriend two weeks ago. The winner was to plan a date for the two of us. Book tickets to an event and get us a dinner reservation. This might seem like a backward bet as the winner got to plan and pay for everything, but it also meant that the winner could choose the event and the restaurant and the looser just had to come

Yesterday I bought a CD on a whim in the grocery store. I got Caroline af Ugglas' latest album; Så gör jag det igen.I had it playing while puttering about yesterday and didn't really sit down to listen properly. I liked what I heard though.

Yesterday, boyfriend and I joined some of my relatives to celebrate a birthday.We had dinner in a restaurant in the city's theater building. I had pike perch with potatoes, artichoke and a sauce made of red wine and truffels. Delicious! I also had a chocolate brownie with raspberry sorbet and raspberry "fluff" for dessert. I was the only one who had saved room for dessert but the others looked a

Done!!!I spent three weeks on vacation in North America between February 19th and March 12th. I saw family (my sister) and friends (a whole bunch of them) in three different cities/towns in Canada and one in the US.It meant the world to me to be able to cross this task off of my list!Some pictures from my vacation can be found here.

I've decided to change this task a bit. I'm going to just count the restaurants and cafés I go to in Sweden. The initial point of the task was to get a bit more adventurous when going out for meals. I wanted to challenge myself to find new favourites and not just go the convenient route of going somewhere familiar...Being on vacation, I can add restaurants and cafés to the list and finish this

I shopped at Chix with Stix in Chicago, IL, USA and at Yarn Indulgences in Kitchener, ON, Canada.There were yarns in the other stores I liked as well, but didn't get. For different reasons. Some were too expensive for me (the dollar is expensive at the moment) and I was

Stardust by Neil Gaiman (February 8th, 2008) - Thumbs up! Liked it. Så blir du mer kreativ - på jobbet, i livet, i skapandet by Eva Sanner (March 13th, 2008) - Roughly translated the titles is "Become more creative - at work, in life, in creating". The book had me spell bound up until the middle and then I had a hard time finishing it. I don't really know why. Maybe because it got me thinking so

Done! I can bold this one as of yesterday.I had the most amazing facial done yesterday. My eye lashes were dyed black, and my brows were shaped and dyed chocolate brown to match my hair colour. Then my skin was cleansed, steamed, refreshed, massaged, nourished, emptied from black heads and such, and then calmed and moisterized. I was worked on for 2 hours.I really should get this done more

I got myself a new cook book (Leila Lindholm's A Piece of Cake) for Christmas. Not that I needed it, but I wanted it.Yesterday I realized we had some overly ripe bananas in our fruit basket and I decided to see if Leila had any good banana recipies in her book. I ended up making Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins and they really turned out great! I'm used to making banana muffins and bread with mashed

This year boyfriend added a couple of names to the list and I didn't see any reason to not make him (and them) happy.

I am soooo close!!!This week I turned down an invitation to do some fun with colleagues on Monday night as I didn't want to miss the chance of a visit to the gym...

I was hoping to come back here yesterday to report yet another fulfilled task... But...I was sailing along with my crisp bread and my "healthy whole grains" all the way up to Saturday night... Boyfriend and I were at some of our friends' house for dinner and we were served the most delicious chicken dish with rice. And without thinking or hesitating, I took a piece of the garlic bread that was

I started this task on Monday morning and the only bread I've had so far is different kinds of crisp bread. Boyfriend got us four different kinds when he went shopping on Sunday.I love crisp bread with cheese. :)

Being out of town on Friday night, boyfriend and I went to a restaurant none of us had been to before. I got fillet of beef, root vegetabels cooked in white wine, roasted potatoes and a chanterelle sauce. It was okey. Not the best meal ever and it was kind of pricey, but okey.

While being out of town with boyfriend I had my mind set on visiting at least one yarn shop.I wasn't looking for anything special but I had thought of getting some Malabrigo for a hat-and-scarf-set for my sister for Christmas if I found some nice colours. That didn't happen. They didn't have the kind of Malabrigo I was looking for.I browsed around the shop for about ten minutes. It was crowded.

Done!!!My boyfriend was sent out of town for work last week and I joined him on Friday afternoon. We spent the afternoon and evening wandering about, visiting a yarn shop, eating great fillet of beaf, having a beer and a cup of tea in the hotel's lounge bar before getting back to our room where we watched a Ben Stiller-movie on TV (don't ask why!) and I had a bath in the tub.The beds were kind of

Done!I had a check-up last week. No holes, no inflammatory gums, but quite a lot of tartar (Eng?) and some stained teeth. The dentist worked really hard to get rid of the tartar and the stains and I can't honestly say when my teeth last looked this nice.

Boyfriend and I drove to the countryside on Saturday. Both were equipped with a camera each and we took a long walk through a land reserve. Big old oaks and beeches. Rosehip-like bushes with berries. Grazing cows. An old stone quarry filled with water.And I climbed one of those big beeches. Felt like I was five years old again. Only stiffer and longer, and therefore harder to move around among

Earlier this week I bought supplies for ten Christmas cards. There will be some brown and gold on the ones I make this year.I've made my own Christmas cards for the last four or five years (except for last year when Christmas preparations and Christmas was right in the middle of moving to our new house) and I really enjoy that. I'm not much for Holiday decorations but I like to make and send my

I picked a lot of apples in our garden at work the other week. I made two kinds of apple cake/apple pie and I put one of them in the freezer. It had apples, nuts and cardamom in it.Brought it to work today and it was greatly appreciated.

A lot of conversations were going on at the same time and the sound level was fairly high at times.
