Doing Not Thinking Challenge

Just getting to my update for my Doing Not Thinking Challenge because basically we have been following Obama all around town. He came to our little town of Grand Junction today - it was pretty amazing. I will write about that in another post though.

Here are my Goals for the Doing Not Thinking Challenge:
1. I had a goal of 50 books for this year and passed it so to myself I had quietly said 100. So now out loud I say I want to get 100 books read this year.
2. Bake more bread instead of buying — I always have back up bought loaves in the freezer and somehow they always get used and then I get another. So I want to commit to making my own bread more often.
3. Which leads to this one — learning how to make buns — hamburger and hotdog buns. We eat brats and hot dogs quite a bit during the summer and although it is ending soon I have been wanting to make buns for a while. So maybe I can have them mastered by next summer. I found some good instructions in a Beth Hensperger book and setting this goal I believe will help me just do it!

So an update on my progress:
1. I am up to 90 books.
2. We have been out of town quite a bit lately so I haven't made any bread but that is on my plans for tomorrow.
3. I still haven't made any progress on this goal but I would really like to make some this week as I have a big cheap piece of steak and steak sandwiches sound good. So maybe I will shoot for Friday for those.

Wow, that is a lot of books to read in one year. I'd love to be able to do that. I'm also wanting to make my own bread and is one of my goals for the challenge. I'm still working on getting there.

Awesome! As for being on the road, seriously I think that counts as double. It seems like for every day we're gone we need 2 (at least) to catch up at home.
