Unfortunately, that didn't work out. I got hot and motion sick almost immediately. My appointment was for an hour, but I ended up getting out after about 15-20 minutes because I thought I was going to throw up. <sad trombone ><br />
<br />
I think if I stayed the whole hour, it could've been transformative, but despite my experience, I still highly recommend others try it, and if you're in Chicago, go to <a href="http://www.floatsixty.com/" target="new page">Float Sixty</a>. The staff is extremely helpful and caring.<br />

I didn't even really know what it was, but one night, Rich was looking at one of their "Ask Me Anything" threads, and I was intrigued. I thought, "I could do that." So I did. It was pretty fun too.<br />

Technically what I received was <i>not</i> a reflexology treatment, but since all of the "reflexology" places in town are the same concept, I feel like it qualifies to fulfill this goal. And I did get my feet rubbed. And it felt damn good.<br />

It seem like I'm averaging almost three files per month now, and that average is definitely going to increase after November. Especially since I have 10 files to prep over the course of the next two months. Maybe I'll get a break in January...<br />

I'm pretty much obsessed with the place. I know it's silly, but I guess it's my one true vice. And there are much worse.<br />
<br />
I've been a member of their VIB loyalty program for a few years now, and one day I saw they have a higher tier than where I was. Naturally, I wanted to be on that level. It's completely irrational. I recognize this. But I wanted it anyway. So I spent a bazillion dollars at Sephora this year, and now I have VIB Rouge status through December 2015. If it never happens again, that's ok, but at least I have it for this one year.<br />

It's truly amazing how many advancements we've made in the film industry over the last 30+ years. Of the films on the list, there was only one I didn't like, which is "Midnight Express." I think it was nominated due to the subject matter and perhaps some of the cinematography, but certainly not because of the acting, editing, or writing. The other films nominated that year were all much, much better in all aspects. You can see the complete list <a href="http://charmingthird.blogspot.com/p/watch-oscar-best-picture-nominees-from.html?m=0;" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

The books aren't great works of literature -- they're really just a soap opera about a bunch of nontraditional people living in San Francisco -- but at about 250-375 pages each, they're quick and fun reads. I'm glad to be done.<br />

<div style="margin: 0px;">
This, of course, was a really fun one. We always love to try new restaurants. I didn't even have to think about this goal to meet it. I actually didn't even realize I had accomplished it until a few days later when I was checking in.

I hadn't been wearing my FuelBand for a couple of months, and I just put it back on again yesterday. I guess these two days is all it took for me to complete the 500k! Now on to 1M. I better be consistent and wear it every day now to keep the momentum going. Wish me luck!<br />

And I have a routine, which is what the point of this goal really was. So now I just have to continue what I've been doing, and add the rest in. Because I know my feet will be even smoother and prettier once I start using the balm every day too.<br />

It was fun being together (as usual), but the experience wasn't grand. We weren't thinking and were not prepared for the shit show of a Saturday night. I definitely feel as though I'll need to come back to really enjoy it. Perhaps during the day or directly after work on a weekday. Maybe then I'll be able to take some pictures too.<br />

Maybe I accidentally burned the hazelnuts. Maybe I added too much salt. Maybe I should have used better quality chocolate. Maybe it just isn't a very good recipe. Whatever it is, the Nutella turned out good, but not great. It has a bit of a saltiness or a bitterness that I just don't love. If I do it again, I think I'll try a different recipe and not baking the hazelnuts for quite as long. <div><br></div><div><div><div style="margin: 0px;"><b style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Goals Accomplished: 5</b></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0px;"><b style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Days Remaining: 979</b></div></div></div>Jeniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17033673767095961424noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6473994672170618956.post-12795763402082746192014-08-02T12:06:00.000-05:002014-08-02T14:37:37.463-05:00Yarn BombMy favorite <a href="http://www.ninachicago.com/" target="new page;">yarn shop</a> had an event last night to kick off the annual Chicago yarn crawl for those of us who attended to work together to yarn bomb the tree and fence outside the front of the store. I was really excited because I had wanted to yarn bomb for a long time (it was actually a goal on my last list that I just didn't get done). This made it really easy and attainable for me to accomplish because I didn't have to do it alone. I had a great time knitting my square and chatting with the other women, and the margarita and the goody bag didn't hurt either.<br />

<ul>
<li>I meant to track each day's products in order to label the pictures below, but that just didn't happen. There was one day that I almost completely forgot to take the picture at all (and the one I did take is awful). But I will say that it's been really fun to plan out my makeup each day and try some new looks. I also made a point to use different products every day to really embrace the challenge, and even though it's over, I'm going to try to continue. I've always said makeup should match your mood and help you create who you want to be that day; I think I'm someone new each day, and my makeup should reflect that. </li>

<br />
<b>Start
Date: July 12, 2014</b><br />
<b>End Date: April 7, 2017</b><br />
<br />
<b>The
Mission:</b><br />
Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.<br />
<br />
<b>The
Criteria:</b><br />
Tasks must be specific (ie. no ambiguity in the
wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly
defined.Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (ie. represent some
amount of work on my part).<br />
<br />
<b>Why 1001 Days? </b><br />
Many
people have created lists in the past - frequently simple goals such
as New Year's resolutions. The key to beating procrastination is to set
a deadline that is realistic. 1001 Days (about 2.75 years) is a better
period of time than a year, because it allows you several seasons to
complete the tasks, which is better for organising and timing some
tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities.<br />
<br />
<b>Some
common goal setting tips:</b><br />
1. Be decisive. Know exactly what
you want, why you want it, and how you plan to achieve it.<br />
<br />
2.
Stay Focused. Any goal requires sustained focus from beginning to end.
Constantly evaluate your progress.<br />
<br />
3. Welcome Failure.
Frequently, very little is learned from a venture that did not
experience failure in some form. Failure presents the opportunity to
learn and makes the success more worthy.<br />
<br />
4. Write down
your goals. It clarifies your thinking and reinforces your commitment.<br />
<br />
5.
Keep your goals in sight. Review them frequently, and ensure that they
are always at the forefront of your thinking.Jeniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17033673767095961424noreply@blogger.com0
