4. Read 20 books (1/20)
I finished ONE book so far. I read The Shack by William Young and it was AWESOME! It is a work of fiction, but contains a lot of biblical truths but puts them into a fictional, average Joe type of application. It really makes you examine your own faith and trust in God. I literally cried at several parts, some were story related but others were how they made me think of my own struggles and trials. READ IT!!
I started another book, The Agency by Ally O’Brien. It got a good review in People Magazine a few months back so I picked it up at the library. I’m only on chapter 4…
8. Tone up and be bikini ready by May
Still workin on this one. I started a Boot Camp at the gym….we’ll see how that goes. *crosses fingers* :)
This one was already crossed off, but I went again. I went with my sister and some of her friends for her birthday party. They were all drinking much more than I was and I bowled better than ALL of them….and I’m not that good. Haha Yay Me!
15. Take a class
Does Boot Camp count? I also did a Spin Class, didn’t really like it that much. I guess that’s not really what I had in mind so I won’t mark it off…. :(
20. Buy flowers for myself
I did bring home some really pretty yellow daisies this weekend, but I didn’t buy them. They were leftover after our Women’s Retreat and I brought them home. I guess that doesn’t count either….
21. Get teeth whitened
Another thing I’m doing that doesn’t really count….I heard that rinsing with peroxide after you brush whitens your teeth. It’s not professional but I think it’s working…
Dang….I’m doing a lot but not really getting anywhere??? If my list is still this long in September I might start counting this stuff! :P
22. Do a cartwheel often and for no reason
I don’t even know why I haven’t done this one! What the heck am I waiting for???
23. Finish a 5K in 25 minutes or less
I am running in the Dash Down Greenville next weekend….I’ll let you know how I do. Stay tuned.
You know what – I’m marking this one OFF! My new friend Carey (ok he’s my sister’s friend) but he’s a bartender for AAC on the Plaza level for all the games. Twice now I’ve told him “Surprise Me” and he’s hooked me up! Once with Pear Smirnoff and 7 and the next time with Mandarin. I don’t know if there is an official name for either of those, but it was my first time to try them so yay! Wonder what he’ll make me tonight?
43. Try a new recipe
I’ve actually done this a couple of times. I tried something out of a magazine a month or so ago, I don’t remember what it was called but it was some casserole thing. This weekend I made Chocolate Cherry Banana Bread from a recipe I got in an email. But when I wrote this I was really thinking of trying something fancy, so I’ll leave it for now…
47. Exercise at least 4 times a week, religiously
OK this is one of those ongoing tasks and although it hasn’t necessarily been 4 times EVERY week, it’s at least 3 and I’m still being conisistent.
I think this one counts…I bought those True Religion jeans at their store in Northpark and a sweater at Neimans. Plus even though I got a good deal online, I now have a Prada purse! Movin’ on uuppp…to the East side…
Yay I’ve done this! I went last week to Mavs vs. Lakers and we WON!!! Woot! Woot! Plus I’m going tonight against the Timberwolves and next Saturday against the Knicks! Now to get tickets to the Stars…
61. Go see a movie in the theater once a month (2/12)
I think I’m on target with this one. I don’t remember what we saw in January but I did see Valentine’s day a couple of weeks ago….thinks….
62. Try each type of cheesecake on the menu at Cheesecake Factory (2/32)
Man I better get crackin on this one, I’m behind! I think I need to go over there THIS WEEK!
79. Call my parents, and sisters, once a week
Well….this one should be easy….but it’s not! I have talked to my sisters every week but both of my parents have called in the last few weeks to make sure I’m still alive….FAIL. :-/
80. See at least 5 concerts (1/5)
Oooh….there are a couple coming up I’ve got my eye on….
84. Make a list of 10 things I am thankful for
I don’t know why I haven’t even started this one yet. I have a lot going on right now and am really struggling with my joy so I think maybe I’m afraid of this task, although I know that I really DO have a lot to be thankful for. It really should be the easiest thing on the list, but it’s not. It has been on my mind though, I just really haven’t put anything down on paper, just know I’m thinking about it.
88. Tell people I love them and not assume they know
Epic fail on this one :( I don’t know why this is so hard for me, especially with family. I’ve done it a couple of times, but I guess since I don’t normally do it they don’t take it seriously, it’s a little discouraging. And after the Loving Well conference last weekend, I realize how bad I am at it. *Takes deep breath and tries harder*
OH YAY! I’m doing this RIGHT NOW! I’m in week 2 and staying strong!
91. Listen to my entire iTunes library (currently 3328 songs)
Yes, I’ve added to my library yet again. I’m up to 3328 songs from the 2938 I started with. That’s 390 new songs! However, I only have 1708 left to listen to…at the moment. That’s like half way already and I’m sure I’ll be adding more before the end of the year!
98. Remember to use my green grocery bags
UGH! That’s about all I can say on this one. I go to the grocery store every week and I keep the bags IN MY CAR…..and I’ve only remembered to take them in with me one time. >.<
101. Journal / Blog my achievements on this list
So...still plugging away at this one, although not on a daily basis, but at least I'm keeping you updated. I hope I'm not too boring ~ Love you!

we have some similarity. "Buy flowers for myself" that is the best thing I always want to do. Your blog looks perfect.
