88. Baked a Blueberry Pie


I made my first blueberry pie (#88) this weekend.  And I have to say, it's pretty darn good!  It doesn't exactly look like the photo but it still turned out well.  Emile got me a baking book for Christmas that I'm starting to make my way through:

The pie crust didn't turn out like the gravel texture it was supposed to before rolling it out but it still worked.  It's amazing that 4 pints of blueberries cook down to fit into a pie pan.  On to the next baking dish!

76. Crunches for 30 Days

Last night I completed my 30th day of crunches (#76).  I'm hoping by doing it that much I'll have not gotten into a good routine and will keep it up in the long run.  I definitely can tell a difference in my abs although they still have a long way to go after my second c-section.

Last night I also got together with some friends for a "Mom's Night In" where we meet up at someone's house to hang out (#42).  We used to play board games during these get togethers but have pretty much dropped it for just socializing.  I had a great time and enjoyed seeing everyone.  I'm already looking forward to the next one which will be at my house in July.

59. Finished "Breaking Dawn"

I finished reading the 4th Twilight book -- Breaking Down.  It was really good.  The best one of the four in the series.  I'm disappointed that its the last book.

78. Finished decorating our bedroom

I'm finally finished decorating our bed room.  I had a few decorations left to get and we just put up the picture frame of our girls (black and white photos from when they were newborns, 6 mo. and 1 year old -- Claire's 6 mo. and 1 year photo are still to come which is why there is nothing there right now).  The sketch of the sunflowers was made by my husband's aunt about 21 years ago.  That was our focal point for choosing the decorations.  I was going to put a plant to the right of the dresser but the room doesn't get enough direct sunlight and our cats usually attack most plants so I decided against it.

So I have 1 done for challenge #78.  I'm working on finishing up the girls bathroom next.  I only need to paint one of the walls a light pink -- still working on finding the right color.
