A monumental day in my life.
When I woke up that day, I had no clue how life-changing it would be.
I had no clue that I would accomplish one of my 111 in 2011.
And that it would forever alter the course of history...

5 of 111: Goal 14
Ah... it feels good to be breaking the blogging silence. I swear that if there were some prestigious award for the least consistent blogger ever, I'd at least be in the running.
It has been nearly a month since I last updated, and a lot has happened since then. I debated lumping everything together in one huge catchall post. However, I figured out that doing that would only further encourage my terribly inconsistent blogging habits. So I'll continue to take it one step at a time...
Meanwhile, though, I have definitely accomplished a goal or two from my 111 in 2011 in the last month! Some of these goals were one and done, while others have become a part of my everyday life. The goal I'm writing about today would definitely fall in the latter category...

4 of 111: Goal 50
Two blog posts in two days? Could it really be true? I know you're all keeling over with joy right about now.
Seriously, though, I have some great news. Last night, I was able to check another goal off my 111 for 2011!
How this happened was mostly what I would call God's direction and perfect timing. Or just a good sale on steak that my mother-in-law took advantage of and shared with us. Either way!
Last night I got the chance to grill out again, and this time we got to enjoy some delicious KC Strip steaks. In case you were wondering, I love steak. Love, love, love. Don't tell my wife. Or better yet, do tell her, so she'll buy it more often!
Here's the deal. When I was younger, we used to have birthday dinners around or on my birthday. I don't know that they happened every year, but I remember them happening pretty regularly. If we were feeling rich (or lazy, you pick) we would go out to eat, probably at Applebee's, and I would order a nice, juicy sirloin to devour with some mashed potatoes.
However, when my dad was still around, we would grill out and have steak and potatoes at home. Great memories. So you can see where my love for steak comes from. And to boot, my dad was great at grilling. Unfortunately, he forgot to teach me his secrets, so I usually have to wing it.
So here's to me winging it...

3 of 111: Goal 102
So, apparently I've been slacking on blogging. For that, I apologize. Who exactly I'm apologizing to, I'm not sure, but I'm sorry nonetheless. I've gotta find some motivation!
Meanwhile, I have been motivated to continue completing goals on my list of 111 goals in 2011! I recently completed #102 on my list: buy and use quinoa flour/seeds! This probably sounds like the nerdiest thing on Earth, and it probably is. However, let me bore you with why this was a goal of mine...

2 of 111 in 2011: Goal 96
It is officially January 10th, 2011, or 01/10/11 (which just looks nifty). By now, everyone and their mother has broken a New Year's Resolution. If you haven't, congratulations on your super-human powers. Or your lack of resolution-making. Either way!
As you might've recently read, I made a list of 111 goals to complete in 2011. If you missed it, check out my last post. Though I'm among the imperfect that have already failed at a New Year's Resolution, I'm determined to accomplish my goals as fully as possible.
With all of that aside, I present you with some great news: I've already accomplished a goal for the year! I visited a new restaurant with my lovely wife for our monthiversary (and because we got a gift card)...
