Day 335: December 1, 2010

OK apparently I suck at this! I know, I know…I haven’t even updated in almost 3 months…I really hadn’t realized it had been that long! But there has just been so much going on in my life lately that I haven’t had time to sit down and blog….much less accomplish many of these things I’d wanted to do :-/ I have done a couple of them, but not many.
Keep in mind that not only time (which will decrease even further with the holidays looming), but finances play a part in accomplishing some of them. Oh which also dwindles this time of year….*sigh*

Oh well, I’m not giving up… I am optimistic that I’ll still squeeze in a couple more in the next month though *crosses fingers* :D

But here’s how I’ve done recently…

2. Pay off all my bills

OK so if I wasn’t having to pay attorney fees and support my family alone, I feel like I’d be a LOT closer on this one :-/ I’m going to go ahead and mark it off because obviously it isn’t going to happen in the next 3 weeks…as a matter of fact, I’ve been using a couple of those credit cards for Christmas shopping, so better luck next year I guess.

3. Save some money

Ditto. :-/

4. Read 20 books (13/20)

So I made a little progress here…I finally finished the other two books I had in the Pretty Little Liars series. Perfect and Unbelievable by Sara Shepard, plus I read Motor Mouth by Janet Evonavich… HILARIOUS!!

But 7 books in 3 weeks?...plus holidays?! This one will most likely not be accomplished, but I won’t mark it off yet…

8. Tone up and be bikini ready by May

Obviously I failed epically at this one…at least to my standards anyway. I have however maintained a steady weight all year that I’m happy with, but that pesky mid-section is the HARDEST part to get rid of. I think I just need a tummy tuck. :-/

23. Finish a 5K in 25 minutes or less

Well…I did not train faithfully, nor even do another run until the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving day. I did finally get down to a 9:56 mile…but just not close enough on this one. I guess there’s always next year…

26. Dress up for Halloween this year

Haha…well… I did go out for Halloween…I dressed as a club-goer! Does that count? >.<

40. Meet more online friends in person

I’ve not met any other online friends in person but the ones that I did meet this year, I’ve actually become pretty good friends with and have hung out several time! I’m happy with this! :)

42. Fill my charm bracelet (7/12)

I’m getting nervous about this one….pesky finances kept me from it. I know there’s still Christmas to look forward to, but I bet I don’t get 5 :-/ I’ve only gotten one since
my last post…a Baseball Glove, in honor of the FABULOUS job my Rangers did this year! :)
 60. Buy a pair of designer shoes

I’ve tried them on several times (this past weekend even) and I absolutely WILL do this before the end of the year, here's the pair I've got my eye on! ….Happy Birthday / Merry Christmas to ME! :D

61. Go see a movie in the theater once a month (13/12)

Done! I even went over hahaha. I saw Life As We Know It with the girls from church and Tangled with Renee and all the kids on Thanksgiving night. There are still so many others I want to see though :)

62. Try each type of cheesecake on the menu at Cheesecake Factory (13/32)

Ugh….another one I see quickly going down the tubes…unless I can eat 20 more pieces in the next 20 days! I don’t really live close enough to stop by there every day…plus they’re freaking $8 a slice!! :-/ I did go a couple of weeks ago with friends for dessert and tried Lemon Raspberry and Kahlua Cocoa Coffee. But Tori and Matt didn’t cooperate and they got flavors I’d already tried! Party Poopers! :P

74. Eat a corndog at the State Fair

YAY! I went to the fair this year with Pam and OMG I didn’t just have a corndog! I ate until I couldn’t eat anymore and EVERYTHING was fried! Fried Margarita, Fried Cookie Dough, Fried PB&J, Fried Frito Pie, Fried Pecan Pie and of course…a CORNDOG!! :D

83. Finish my Christmas shopping by October

FAIL! I didn’t even START my list till October this year :( I did however finish this past weekend after Thanksgiving! Well….except for one thing, but I know what it is, and I just ordered it!

94. Audition for something

Another fail….I don’t see this happening. But Goose auditioned for something, can I count that?? I took her! Here’s a video of her AWESOME audition to sing the National Anthem for the Rough Riders….I hope she gets it! *PS if she doesn’t those judges are STONED! :P

101. Journal / Blog my achievements on this list

Ummm…..I was doing so good :( Just a lot of life got in the way the second half of this year and really messed with my mojo on the list. But this has been super fun and I’ve done a LOT of things this year that I never have, or haven’t done in a long time! I’m going to call it a win and start another list for next year! :D

Heck, with all the ones I have left here I already have a good start! :P hahaha
