91. learn to make fresh salsa from scratch - made it!

another 101 list item done!



i chopped everything by hand, which was a long and tedious process.
definitely need a little chopper thing.
and how does one mince fresh cilantro?
sometimes it seemed like the pieces of cilantro were too big.
i have to let it chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours to let the flavors really soak in.
but from what i tasted so far...yum.
so much better than the jar stuff you get from the store.
if i get a chopper, this might be a regular thing because i love chips and salsa.

another task completed!





93. tear down old fence and put up a new one (at Dad’s house) - changed to repaint front steps
yesterday i put on 2 coats.
today i put on a 3rd coat with a non-skid additive. yay, me!
the steps were substituted for the fence project because Dad finished taking down the fence without me
and he hasn't decided whether or not he will be putting another one in its place.
if he decides to put up a new fence, i will still help him.
but in the meantime...
i can consider another item for my 101 list done!

41. get a TiVo - got it!!!


i shouldn't have. i really shouldn't have.
but i saw it at Big Lots and couldn't help myself.
it's on my 101 list and i've been obsessing about getting one these last few weeks.
today's labor paid for it and both my dad and i benefit.
:D
