Amazingly, I’m still working on things on my list.  This is definitely the longest a “new years resolution” has been on my mind, instead of disappearing into the background of life by February.

I’m working on some of the goals, but I’m really just beginning.  I think I have found a photography class I’m going to take this summer–I’m really excited!  It’s close enough to Jeremy’s to walk, its not too expensive, and I can use my basic digital camera.  So I’ll hopefully be signing up for that this week, thus getting started on my goal 9. learn more about photography and practice taking pictures.

I’m doing pretty well with keeping up with my net worth each month.  I can’t figure out when the best time of the month is to calculate it. I suppose it doesn’t really matter as long as its the same time each month–it seems silly to do it after I’m paid, as that money immediately disappears to rent and bills, so I tend to do it after rent money has been taken out but before I’m paid again.  I think it is a good way to keep track of when I need to keep a closer watch on my spending and when I’m doing okay.

Read a C.S. Lewis book–I haven’t completed one yet, but I have bought two that I’m choosing between.

#67–Go to ten new restaurants: The Hill Cafe

May 5, 2008 · Leave a Comment

On Saturday Jeremy and I had dinner with my sister and Matt. We walked to a restaurant that is right by their apartment in church hill–The Hill Cafe. Despite the fact that it was dinner time on a Saturday, we were seated right away and had a really pleasant experience. Jeremy got meatloaf, mac and cheese, and green beans, while I had a burger. Next time, I definitely want to try his meal!

Apparently The Hill Cafe is owned by the same people who own Europa, another restaurant that we really enjoyed. We will definitely be going back to the Hill Cafe again. They have specials pretty much every night but Saturday, so I want to get over there on a night when all their blue plate specials are cheaper.
