86. Drink the eight cups of water a day for a week

I drank SO much water!!!! hahaha!! I actually tried this before, but had a fail... not that this went too much better... I had a couple days where I had to drink a couple cups right before bed... but it was all good! and actually really nice! :)  I found it was a lot easier to drink a lot of water at work... *shrug*

Drink water - our body likes it when we do! :)

80. Attend a local group’s concert


Check out their myspace here!  and they're actually even maybe better LIVE! not that their recordings aren't good, but they are such good performers!!!

It actually made me kinda sad to think I hadn't been able to make it before!!! I've loved their music since... wow! a while... haha! but still!!! SO good!!!!!! Plus! they're really nice guys!! :) They know how to work the audience, they know how to show appreciation! and they are just really charismatic :)

99. Make a list of songs that remind me of each of my siblings

I've decided that I'll have a list of the songs that remind me of each of my siblings ongoing! :)  and! eventually, when I've shared with them their lists of reasons why I love them, I'll maybe post the top 10 here too :)

Nessa

Songs:
  • Soy Rebelde - Jeanette
    • This is she and mum's emo spanish song... I'm pretty sure she doesn't know what it all means, yet she can sing along to just about all the words... :p
  • Love Song - Sara Bareilles
    • This is she and Miki's skipping song
  • Mustafa - Carmen Campagne
    • Actually... any song by this lady reminds me of her... haha! she has a few of the cds and reunited me with this lovely lady's music back when she was in Gr. 2 
  •  Smile - Uncle Kracker
    • We heard this song at a dear wedding which we made a long trip for... and both instantly loved it! <3

    • The Haruhi AMV we watched together at Otafest that one year... ^_^
  • I feel it in my bones - Tiësto feat. Tegan and Sara
    • I don't know why...  but we do enjoy it together often :)
  • We No Speak Americano - Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP
    • We were randomly listening to remix half hour on the radio on our rush hour drive home one day, and this random weird song comes on.  We're in a trance!!!  but! since it's remix half hour, we have no way of finding out what it is! (well... Nessa found it later on their website, but still!) Finally, after it's played in her announcements!!!  and just haunted us... She found it! and has played it at least daily ever since :p

Nano

Songs:
  • Welcome Home - Coheed & Cambria
    • The only song by this group that I know!!! but!  He likes them so much, when we heard this song on the preview for a movie (9), he HAD to watch it!! :p

    • He LOVES the Mastercard commercial with it!! haha!! SO funny... Look it up if you don't know what I'm talking about! :p

    • I honestly don't really remember what the story was that he told about this girl and this song... but I always think of him :p
  •  Are You Gunna Be My Girl - Jet
    • He kicks this song's butt on Rock Band

    Miki

    Songs:
    •  Intergalactic - Beastie Boys
      • This boy had us all SO confused and mildly annoyed for a few days cuz he wouldn't stop with: do you know that song that goes: arnernernerner arnernerner... I don't know what word it is, but it just repeats that one word?... THEN he found it!!! and wouldn't stop playing it!!! hahaha!!! I love this boy!

    63. Invite a friend to take the discussions *+ How it went

    I have taken the plunge.

    For a while now, I've been friends with a boy from Québec, who is SO nice!  He was going through some hard decisions in his life a few months back, and I had already sent him a Book of Mormon a few months before, so I suggested a couple readings and a fast, which we did together.  He was really grateful, and I think it worked for him :)  I think he's quite ready to learn the fullness of the truth! only... I doubt HE knows that, so I've done something kinda lame, but I'm very excited about it.

    I wrote him my testimony in an email, and in the last paragraph, I invited him to find the truth for himself.  I asked him to let me know if he'd be wanting to know more, and I would give him the number for the missionaries.  I reckon that's as good as it's gunna get being a pre-mi.

    Please pray that he will feel the Spirit... even if I'm trying to get it through electronically...

    How it went:

    I got an email from him that very day! in fact... minutes later!!! but I didn't get to reading it 'til the next day, but he sent me a text too, so I knew he'd received it.

    He seemed extremely grateful for the sharing and the friendship we have, but no dice on wanting to know more... yet :) I refuse to accept it as a direct rejection, cuz it wasn't really a direct question either.  Things will go well :) and he's still grateful for having sent him the Book of Mormon too :)  I can't wait 'til he learns more :)

    Keep praying :) and keep sharing :) and keep being a friend - that's the plan :)

    88. Read 20 books over a summer

    Ok, so I realized this might be my only chance in my 1001 days to fulfil this one... so this post will probably be updated regularly as I think of more books and actually read them too.  Feel free to suggest any must reads :) *keep in mind however, that I am a SUPER slow reader!

    Books Read:

    1) What I wish I'd known before my mission (I had started this one before, but in all fairness, I also read all the scriptures suggested, so I'm counting it) - John Bytheway
    2) Daughter of a King - Rachel Ann Nunes
    3) The Sunflower - Richard Paul Evans
    4) Preparing to Enter the Temple - General Authorities?
    5) Our Search for Happiness - M. Russell Ballard
    6) Betty and Veronica (the one with the rating board with stars on the cover ;p)

    I picked the largest size cuz I reckon it's highly important, but it was too big...
