So far, so overwhelming

So I'm about halfway through my first week of the 101 in 1001 Project, and mostly I'm feeling overwhelmed. I have quite a few goals that are ongoing that I have at least started: flossing every day, donating grains of rice through www.freerice.com, saving a dollar every day of the challenge. But I haven't really dug into any BIG goals yet. I think the first one I am going to tackle is learning Spanish conversationally. The Adult Education program is offering a Beginning Spanish class for the Fall, so I need to sign up for that.

One of my goals is to visit at least 10 new restaurants. One plus of this town is that we have a lot of unique restaurants with great food. I am happy to say I tried my first new restaurant today! My friend Jen and I went to lunch, and I had seen this place downtown for awhile, but never been there. Recently someone told me it had good food, so I suggested we try it.

The restaurant was Le Gourmandise Bistro.



I had the Downtown Roast Beef sandwich, which was phenomenal! It had big slices of roast beef, not the thin-sliced deli kind, and an avocado spread. It was filling and delicious. Jen had the Spring Vegetable wrap and said that it was good as well, with vegetables she wouldn't expect, like peas and green beans.

The best part of the lunch? Jen told me she has filled out all the paper work and gotten the ball rolling to adopt a child! I know it's something she has thought about for awhile, so I'm thrilled that it's all started to happen for her!
