Day 167

Christmastime brought the completion of two more goals:

#74: Own a [halfways-decent] digital camera
I scored a camera for Christmas. a Canon PowerShot ELPH 100 HS. It's a point and shoot, and seemingly has gotten good reviews from both professional reviewers and users alike.
The only thing I relaly have to complain about is the colour -- I would have prefered a more vibrant colour to the grey, but it's a good classic colour, so I can't complain too much at all.
Due to some... minor political issues, I'm choosing to not start counting photos until January 1st. Plus, it gives me a chance to do some fun photo things. =D


#77: Own 11 Teacups
So. I was in Value Village today, and ended up buying 11 teacups.
You see, there was a really cute set of Christmas teacups and saucers. And, at 75% off, they were $4 with taxes. For ten pairs. I couldn't pass that up -- they were rediculously cheap adorable!

And then there was a Royal Albert teacup, which was nice and stately and I decided I wanted.

Plus, I got a Royal Albert teacup and a Polish teacup for Christmas. So that's 13 I've acquired in the last week alone! Obviously, I am well over the original plan of at least 11. (And I don't plan to stop any time soon -- my mom has two rubbermade bins full of teacups! I must catch up and surpass!)

Day Thirty-One -- VICTORY!!

So, I completed my first goal yesterday, without even thinking about it.

In the morning, I started watching SoltyRei. It's a 24+2 episode anime series.

I was about halfway through early in the afternoon, so I start musing to myself,  "I wonder if I can finish this today?". And I did. A little before midnight.

Lots of cleaning, cooking, and laundry in there, but nonetheless, an entire series, about 12 hours of anime, in one day....

And so I may now cross off my first goal: #64: Marathon an entire series.

Victory!!!
