Well, it only took a few days before I missed a day on this 100 day challenge!

It’s not that blogging / writing hadn’t crossed my mind, just that I’d thought about and then promptly forgot about it in the presence of other, more pressing matters – my LIST of TO DO ITEMS :

get ingredients for chai tea – I was stunned at how excellent the fresh cardamom pods smelled. I’d been donated some by a co-worker who knows a cardamom farmer in India, but those she gave me were so very dry and nearly devoid of flavor. . . as a result I overspiced this chai batch. Live + learn!

return my Breedlove guitar to reduce size from DREADNOUGHT down to CONCERT size

get new shoes at REI (via a gift card for applying to a MasterCard credit card.) During my other errands today, I have misplaced the $100 card! I didn’t know this until walking to the cashier with my new shoes and when I couldn’t locate the funds in my pockets, dashed outside to scan the van. Again coming up empty-handed I retraced my steps and called Guitar Center … the very polite young lady there even told me I should contact REI. I thought “Why? It was given from MasterCard” but more living and learning – After spending about twelve minutes on the phone contacting MasterCard they said the same thing. It was late in the day by the time and though the phone help tried to transfer me to REI support , they’d apparently closed. I’ll try again today because those shoes were worth another attempt!

Perhaps this exercise is not as important or fun as I’d originally thought it would be… Anyway I’d venture that this is my TRUE first blog post : A rambling recount of the days happenings. It’s difficult to determine what this may come to , but isn’t that the joy of adventure?!
