36. Go to the movies 5 times (2/5).

I won tickets from the News & Observer to an advance screening of Eclipse on 6/28. I already crossed off #69. Win something - but now I've won twice from the N&O - awesome! I took my mom to the screening, since she was in town visiting, and we both had a great time even though she's never read a Twilight book. We were afraid it might be super crowded, and we got there about an hour early. We had great seats, and were entertained with all sorts of trivia and giveaways while we waited. People were there from Vitamin Water and G105. The screening was a lot of fun, and the movie was great also!

63. Try a new flavor at Coldstone.

This afternoon, to celebrate our return to the real world after a week of house confinement while Liam was sick, as well as because it was 96 degrees, Liam and I went for ice cream after his nap. We tried the Oreo cream filling flavor, with Oreos and fudge mixed in. It was good, although a little too sweet after a few spoonfuls. Liam also had a sample of the cotton candy flavor, because it was blue, and he's obsessed with anything blue :)

48. Play in the rain.

Liam and I had a really long week cooped up in the house while he recovered from yet another virus. We were even more bummed that we had to miss a pool party on Saturday that we had been looking forward to. He wasn't quite party-worthy on Saturday (not yet 24 hours without diarrhea) but was feeling well enough to go splash around in the sprinkler and baby pool in our backyard for a little bit in the afternoon. While we were out there, it started raining. Bill and Lacy immediately headed for the hills, but it was so hot, and Liam was soaked already anyway, so he and I decided to play in the rain instead. It was SO much fun - we are totally going to have to do it again! We ran around until it stopped raining. I did get Bill to poke his head out the door and take a quick picture of us:

60. Start eating more sustainably.
We are working on this one, although I'm not ready to cross it off yet. Since watching Food Inc, Bill and I have been making much more of an effort to eat sustainably, and I feel like I understand much more what that means vs before when I just thought of organic and non-organic. We try to eat 1-2 meatless suppers a week, and rarely eat meat at breakfast or lunch. We now buy all of our milk, eggs and meat at Whole Foods and Earth Fare, although we are not doing well on our produce. My goal is to start eating more local produce, and I hope to join a CSA such at the Produce Box. I don't feel like I can cross this one off until we reach that goal.
