Wanda in 2011: June 2011
http://wanda26.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
When I was 26, I attempted to write about something I liked everyday. That didn't exactly work out. I am going to try something a bit different this time. Monday, June 27, 2011. So apparently, Mondays are my updating days now. I am just happy I remembered I did eventually remember to do it. So, how'd I do? I am half way there! 26 down, 26 to go! Lose weight. I am five pounds down from where I was at the beginning of the year, so yay! Here's hoping it continues in a downward direction. Room cleaning. ...

Wanda in 2011: September 2011
http://wanda26.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
When I was 26, I attempted to write about something I liked everyday. That didn't exactly work out. I am going to try something a bit different this time. Wednesday, September 28, 2011. Another week with little to no progress. I pretty much just need to focus at this point and do something. That being said, here's another account of my complete lack of progress. Update the blog. Late as usual, but here I am. Lose weight. Right around where I was last week. Old books and clothes. Not so much. Now, it seem...

Colette2008: The Recipe Book & Deadlines
http://colette2008.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-recipe-book-deadlines.html
For every day in 2008, I did something new. New things will continue in 2009 - but not every day. Saturday, March 7, 2015. The Recipe Book and Deadlines. I'm the oldest grandchild on my mom's side. I have a cousin who's a couple months younger, and then a sister and cousin who are two years younger. When I was in university, my mom wrote down a bunch of family recipes and gave all of us a recipe book. Two or three years ago, I thought, "Hey, we should make this an ebook.". That was much, much faster.

Colette2008: Adjusting to the green
http://colette2008.blogspot.com/2015/05/adjusting-to-green.html
For every day in 2008, I did something new. New things will continue in 2009 - but not every day. Monday, May 18, 2015. Adjusting to the green. It's been a week, and I'm getting used to the green. I did make a few more adjustments, though. Most of my picture frames were dark colours:. I bought some new frames, but for the large pictures, I could only find black frames, so I painted them. (The new black frames, not the original ones, in case I want to go back.). I'm much happier with the colour now.

Colette2008: The Saga of the Soap
http://colette2008.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-saga-of-soap.html
For every day in 2008, I did something new. New things will continue in 2009 - but not every day. Monday, May 4, 2015. The Saga of the Soap. Sometime last year, I was walking through the dollar store and I saw some soap. Now, I don't normally buy soap at the dollar store, but it smelled nice and it was a big bar of soap, so I thought I'd give it a try. I didn't start using it until fall - probably October or November. I was pretty excited to try it, because I really liked the smell. And kept using it.

Colette2008: January 2015
http://colette2008.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
For every day in 2008, I did something new. New things will continue in 2009 - but not every day. Tuesday, January 20, 2015. As you know, I had a cold at the beginning of January. At one point, I was sick enough to try the cold remedy my cousin posted on Facebook:. 2 tbsp lemon juice. It sounds terrible, but it actually tastes pretty good, and it seemed to make a difference. The first Saturday in January, I was still sick-ish, so I didn't go. The second Saturday, I set off to find their location. I could...

Colette2008: November 2014
http://colette2008.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
For every day in 2008, I did something new. New things will continue in 2009 - but not every day. Sunday, November 16, 2014. It occurs to me that I never shared my Halloween costume here. I went as Ursula the sea witch. I made the costume myself. The tentacles were easy - long purple troubles sewn to bigger black triangles. The suckers on the tentacles were straightforward but time consuming. The necklace was clay painted hold. And the eels were essentially a stuffed pillow. Links to this post. View my ...

Colette2008: September 2014
http://colette2008.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
For every day in 2008, I did something new. New things will continue in 2009 - but not every day. Wednesday, September 24, 2014. A couple of nights ago, my brain decided it would enjoy waking up at midnight. And I mean wide awake, not groggy and likely to fall back asleep. Since I needed to get up in the morning, this didn't seem like a good idea. I'd heard somewhere that one of the things that can help you fall asleep is if you count backwards from 100. I decided to try it. My eye is on fire! The second...

Colette2008: Project #1
http://colette2008.blogspot.com/2015/05/project-1.html
For every day in 2008, I did something new. New things will continue in 2009 - but not every day. Tuesday, May 5, 2015. One of the things I've been doing for the last few weeks is working on projects around the home. Just after Easter, I saw a necklace holder on Pinterest. (I really should stay off that app! It looked interesting, and we'd just had sparkling lemonade for Easter, so I saved the bottle and got to work. A coat of paint and a bunch of cup hooks, and it was done. Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
