101 things update

The rubber band ball is coming along nicely! It's already 5 lbs, which is halfway to my goal of 10.

I have started trying to learn to knit so I can knit something, but I'm still having trouble getting started. A few of my friends have offered to give me some assistance, so hopefully with practice and the advice of friends, I will be able to tackle this task.

One mission I did accomplish was getting my pic taken with a drag queen. I went to Pride in Houston this past weekend with some very good friends, and we found Miss Coffee who was perfectly willing and happy to have her photo taken with me and my daughter.


I'm not doing very well so far about watching new movies. I watched Jackass 3.5 and Knight and Day, and that's about it so far. I'm really hoping to view more of my IMDB's top 250 that I haven't seen, and the two movies I just mentioned are definitely NOT on that list!

Make a rubber band ball

I finally started working on a couple of my 101 in 1001 activities. The first was to start a pointless collection. I decided on shot glasses because there are so many neat ones to collect, they are readily available, cheap and they're pointless because I don't drink! You'll notice in all my videos, its my crazy friends who are providing all the drunk entertainment. I'm the sober one of the bunch! I will occasionally try alcohol, like the moonshine and absinthe (someday), but I am not a drinker.

The second thing I started was a rubber band ball. I bought about 5 bags of rubber bands thinking that would last me a week, but it ended up only lasting 2 hours or so. I didn't cheat and use a non-rubber band center. My rubber band ball is pure! Here are some pictures of it so far, but I only started yesterday.

I need to get it over 10 lbs in the next 2 1/2 years to check it off my 101 in 1001 list. It's already at almost 3, so I think I can definitely do it!
