101 in 1001 #3, Check-In #5

| Behind the Scenes

I’m now 90% of the way through my third 101 in 1001 list! 😱 If you’ve never heard of it, it’s a list of 101 things to accomplish in 1,001 days, or about 2.75 years. It’s longer than a to do list, more specific and actionable than a new year’s resolution, and shorter than a bucket list.

My current list started in October of 2020 and will wrap up in July of this year. I “should” be at 90 items completed at this point, but I’m not terribly worried about not crossing them all off. Right now I’m at 61 out of 101, which is still super solid!

Last week, I attended the book launch party of A Very Merry Bromance, the newest book by Lyssa Kay Adams!

Lyssa lives in the Lansing area, so her book launch party was hosted at Schuler Books, a local bookstore chain. The Okemos store is about an hour and a half away from me, but I made the 3-hour round-trip trek out to celebrate the fifth book in one of my favorite book series!

101 in 1001 #3, Check-In #4

| Behind the Scenes

Despite not blogging much for the past year, I’ve been working hard on my 101 in 1001 list, which is a list of 101 things I’d like to accomplish in 1,001 days. This is the third time I’ve done this—the 1,001 days stretch from October 2020 through July 2023, which means we’re now 75% of the way through!

It’s been quite a while since the last check-in, so warning: long post ahead!

Sunday Scratches #143

| Behind the Scenes

Sunday Scratches is where I share the little stuff that has happened throughout the week. In hockey, “scratches” are people who are on the roster but do not play in the game. On the blog, “scratches” are the things that have happened to me throughout the week that aren’t necessarily big enough to be an entire post.

Happy Sunday! Here are the scratches for the week.

Laundry Room Renovations!

| Home

Our laundry room is in our semi-finished basement and isn’t super glamorous—but this is one of the room updates I’m most excited about! Ever since we’ve moved in, I’ve wanted to add cabinets and a countertop to our laundry room, and it finally happened.

I do most of our laundry, and the room was… terrible. It was empty except for an old washer and dryer, our water softener, and a concrete utility sink on rusted metal legs. Oh, and the previous owners left us an old IKEA table that… Sean promptly stole for the workshop. It needed some help.

Cue almost three years later and my wish came true!
