49. Go to a farmers market three times (4/3)- went to the Reading Terminal Market with Matthew! I bought bok choy, cheeses and tried a fresh pretzel. :) Yum, yum! I finally made a bok choy dish that was good too!! (see #80)

50. Support local artists/musicians three times (2/3)- this one is a few weeks overdue, but I forgot to mention....... I went to the piano bar to listen to some local people play. It was a neat place with great atmosphere.

77. Try 15 restaurants I have never tried before (one every other month) (28/15)
- Devil's Alley
- Ruths Chris Steakhouse- clearly this wasn't for me! haha. Happy birthday to my lovey Matthew! :)

79. See 101 new movies (22/101)
- Elizabeth and the golden age- gotta say....... this one was kind of a snore fest. I kept expecting it to heat up.......and it didn't. The poor virgin queen only got a kiss from her hottie love interest.

80. Try 30 new recipes (once a month) (5/30)
-buffalo chicken nachos: yum yum!!
-baby bok choy with cashews (veggie friends- you need to try this!!): super yum! I have tried only once before to make the bok choy, but it failed miserably...... this time, great success!!! :-D

84. Take Jin to the dog park 30 times (once a month) (4/30)
Jin-jin had a lovely "date" with his mommy and daddy at the Schuylkill river park. It was such a hot day, but a lot of fun to be able to go and watch the dogs play. :) Then he got to walk around center city and check out potential new houses. What a fun day!

98. Buy myself a piece of jewelry
Turned my old ring into a beautiful necklace! :) yay!!!!!!!!!!!!

77. Try 15 restaurants I have never tried before (one every other month) (26/15)


Tried Tinto and From the boot! :) Tinto was most delicious! (Tapas!) From the boot is Italian that has been recommended to us for a long time, and I have to say it was a little disappointing.... boo! Good, but not as amazing as all made it out to be!
