I know I'm a little late on my weekly update, but it's been very busy the last couple of days.

Friday, I ended up leaving work early and headed to the emergency room. I had been experiencing some chest pains, and my co-workers all figured that I shouldn't be at work, and were encouraging me to go. It turns out that I may have gall stones (have to wait for the ultra sound to prove it).

Saturday, my maid of honour arrived into town. We spent the weekend working on wedding stuff. I'm handmaking my favours, so we got to work on those. I'm about 40% of the way done them.

Today, I went out to Steinbach to have another fitting for my dress. It now fits perfectly.

Tomorrow, I have my ultrasound to see if I really do have gall stones.

Work is going good. Things are slowing down for the holiday season, but that is normal in this industry.

As for my 101 in 1001 project, I have made a few changes to some of my goals, as I realized that they weren't worded right to begin with.

Here's an update on some of the goals:

#79 - Try a new restaurant every 2 months - I actually have tried two new restaurants already this month, and will be trying another one on Sunday. I'm only going to count one of them though. Grant took my to the Royal Crown Revolving Restaurant for my birthday. We went for the lunch buffet. The food was very good, and of course there were way too many choices. The view was spectacular. It's amazing how big Winnipeg really is. There was never a point where you could tell where the city ended. I highly recommend trying it sometime.

#84 - Donate 100,100 grains of rice on freerice.com - To date, I have only donated 700 grains of rice, but I keep forgetting to go to the site everyday. I'm going to add a new bookmark in my "Daily" folder in Firefox, so that I remember to do this more often.

Those are the only goals that really have any progress at this point. Keep checking back for more.

When I made my list of goals, one of them was to update my blog weekly for a year. So, without any further ado, here is post 1 of 52.

Lately, most of my spare time has been spent working on wedding plans. They all seem to coming along really well. I have sent out the invites, and plan on starting to make the favours in the next week or so. I still have some of the supplies to buy for those.

I continue to play Buzztime Trivia as often as I can. Since Tuesday was a holiday, I didn't have to work and was able to go play Showdown, which I don't get to do very often. We were doing quite well, and had a good score going into the final round. The category was "Orchestral Works." Most of the group was saying that they didn't like the category. I told them that I liked the category, but wasn't going to make any promises that I would get the answer. The question was, "In Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf, what instrument is used to represent the wolf?" I was so sure of my answer, and one of the other players agreed with me. Turned out we were wrong. I felt so bad. Anyone know the answer???

I think that's about all that is new in my world. I haven't completed any of my goals yet, but when I do, I will cross them out and maybe post an update on how it went.
