98. Read another 20 books. (10/20)

I've been in a bit of a reading slump lately, but I have read two books so far this month.  Stephenie Meyer's The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner was a quick and easy read.  It was interesting to gain more insight into a character that is only briefly mentioned in Eclipse.  I liked Bree's story and was sad it had to end the way it did.  Last week, I read Janet Evanovich's new Stephenie Plum book, Sizzling Sixteen.  I love this series, but I only liked this book.  As usual, the characters were ridiculous.  (For example, this book introduces a pet alligator named Mr. Jingles.)  Overall, a fun summer read.

72. Do Wii Just Dance for 30 hours.

I decided to change number 72 from take a fitness class to do Wii Just Dance for 3o hours.  The chances of me taking a fitness class are pretty slim, but I love to do my Just Dance game.  I don't know how many hours I've already spent dancing on the Wii, but it's a lot.  This seems like a more than fair swap and I'll actually complete this task. 

32. Attempt to compile a list of every movie I have ever seen.

Complete!
I'm up to 855 movies!  I will continue to update my list of movies as I watch new ones or think of more old ones, but this is as complete as it is going to get for now. 

82. Switch to only using canvas bags instead of plastic grocery bags.

I'm going to finally call this complete since I haven't forgotten to take my reusable bags with me to the store for a couple of months now.  In all honesty, I love my reusable bags for a selfish reason.  It is so much easier to carry my groceries around in them.  I can usually make it into the house in one trip, as opposed to two or three with plastic bags.  I also use my reusable bags for other things besides groceries.  They are perfect for carrying stuff back and forth between school and home.  I have quite the collection of reusable bags now too.  It might seem ridiculous to have as many as I do, but it works out well since I don't just use them for shopping.  I guess I'm (selfishly) saving a little piece of the environment. 

(I got this bag for free from Target during Earth Week.  Awesome.)
