Cleaning up the sidebar: Removal of Minor Accomplishments Page Element

It bothers me that these things always have such a long stretch of unused room on the sides. I like Em's idea, on Noah's blog, of tracking his milestones, but my life is pretty mellow now and not really worthy of major updates. So maybe this space will be devoted to, in the spirit of this site's title, very minor accomplishments and progressions that weren't mentioned in the main section.

2/27/08:
*Shot of fruit vitamins this morning
*After work, mailed 4 PBS books and the cds for Neil's brothers
*Got tickets to Hal Holbrook's "Mark Twain Tonight" at Jesse in April. This way, if Neil doesn't want to go, Joe, Dad, or Roger can. I didn't even know he was still doing the show.
*Talked to darling Emily on the phone! I feel for her so bad these days. She says it's so hard going back to school.

2/26/08:
*Continued with the new fruit-supplement shot this morning.
*And some orange juice. I'm inadvertantly sticking to Karen Mal's "nothing but fruit before noon" rule.

2/25/08:
*Took a shot this morning of this new I-don't-eat-my-daily-recommended-amount-of-
fruits-and-veggies supplement. It wasn't half bad, kind of like a liquefied Flintstones vitamin. Now that they're saying you need something like 8 servings a day, I don't have a prayer without some help.
*Stopped by Linens N Things to get the other half of Dad's gift
*Bought cherry extract, an old-skool ice cream scoop for cupcake batter, and $1 pierogies at Schnucks. ONE DOLLAR, people!
*Called Sprint to see when each of our contracts expired, then e-mailed the fam en masse to let them know
*Bought a replacement black ink cartridge at Office Depot. It's supposed to be three times the ink of a normal one. We seem to go through them like water, so we'll see.
*Put away & reloaded dishwasher...does this count?

2/23/08:
*Played Scrabble with Neil--our first-ever game together. Isn't getting over 500 total points pretty good?

2/22/08:
*40-hour timesheet turned in...made up all my hours this pay period!
*Cleared one caddy in the scrap-storage area by consolidating large packaged boards (like chipboard & plastic letters)
*Read a few Trib sections
*Unloaded & reloaded dishwasher
*Wiped off a dirty stove
*Bought milk, to avoid a later breakdown, since apparently that's what I do now
*Finished bland lasagna at lunch
*Picked up mail at Dad's and told him about wedding plans
