31 for 31

Let's start with things from last year that I didn't quite get done....
1-Make a classic/fancy meal from scratch like Beef Bourgogne (and learn how to spell that word)
2-Teach Hobie how to catch something that I throw at him (not just hit him in the face and fall off).  I believe in him!
3-Make a pie from scratch
4-Paint the wood panelling in the basement
5-Watch It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
6-And instead of a full 48 hours off of the Internet, how about I only check my email one time in a 24 hour period?  (sad but true, I'm addicted to the Internet)

And some new stuff...

8-Reach 100 sales on Etsy (I am at 99 so hopefully this will happen)
