Time Offline

94. Spend 48 consecutive hours offline.

It is difficult to escape social media in today's society.  I have moments where it is difficult to resist the urge to check my phone.  There is always something to check: texts, Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, and fantasy football scores. (There will be a post about fantasy football once the season ends.)

Recently, my family took a four-day cruise to California and Mexico.  By the time we left the coast, I lost cell reception and was only able to use my phone's camera for two full days.  

In a way, escaping this form of technology was freeing.  I didn't have to check Facebook updates, check work emails, and debate about what photos to post on Instagram.  Instead, I was able to spend quality time with my family.  I was also able to fit in some quality reading time. 

Will I go offline again?  Probably, but I doubt that I will be able to stay away from my phone for another 48 consecutive hours.  Thankfully, my vacation forced me to do it this time, and for that, I am grateful.

Donations

99. Donate clothes to Goodwill every 6 months for two years.

When it comes to clothes, I buy two things in abundance: cardigans and tank tops.  Therefore, I feel the need to go through my closet a few times a year in order to get rid of clothes that I no longer wear.

I was able to go through my closet on a regular basis over the past two years and donate several clothing items.  This is something that I will continue to do.

Chicken Pesto Pizza Deliciousness

71. Make pizza from scratch.

I've always wanted to learn how to cook, but I never did anything about it. Recently, this changed.  I've learned how to cook a variety of things, including chicken pesto pizza.

With a lot of help of my amazing boyfriend, I made dough and pesto from scratch.



We grilled some chicken, added it to the pizza, and ended up with a very tasty final product.  I promise we did not burn it.  


I will definitely be making this pizza again soon.  :)
