update: the great 28
three months into the goals ...
1. visit 3 places i've never been before. mel & dan's new house. jennie rae's restuarant.
2. lose 40 pounds. i was down 14 punds at my last weigh in. i should weigh in tomorrow morning, but i don't expect it to be good. the past week hasn't been healthy. i've been going into work early & staying a little later than usual. stress levels are high & i eat when i get stressed. plus it's making it so i can't go out walking in the mornings. so that's disappointing & i eat when i get disappointed. it's really not that hard to see how i ended up overweight to begin with. :) but next week should be better. it will simply have to be. i'm setting my mind to it right now. besides, if i keep this up for the next 9 months, i'll be down 56 pounds for the year. do you know how stinkin' happy that would make me?
3. havbe a booth at a local craft fair. we're sending in our application for the popcorn festival tomorrow. we have to or we'll have to pay an extra $35.
4. take 2000 photos. i'm at 1146. that's 57% to goal! my weekend in louisville helped. :)
5. eat a gallon of mustard in one week. i haven't scheduled this yet.
6. enter 3 items in the county fair. i need to decide what to enter. i'm thinking a piece of jewelry. a quilt. and maybe a cookie? or a cake?
7. finish 3 quilts. i need to get into gear on quilt number 2.
8. take an art class. nothing scheduled, yet.
9. be able to play Christmas Rhapsody on the piano by Christmas. yeah, i should sit down & start working on this.
10. be able to play a song on my accordian. again, i should start working on this.
11. bake something new once a month. february - triple-chocolate peanut butter cookies & jalapeno lime coconut sugar cookies. march - nothing. april - lemon coconut oatmeal cookies.
12. update my portfolio. haven't touched it, but i have been good about brining pieces home to add to it.
13. make my halloween costume. i have some ideas. but you'll have to wait & see.
14. cook dinner once a month. in january i made green pork burritos with cilantro rice & black beans. february was baked macaroni & cheese (patti labelle's recipe). march was pretzel chicken & homemade potato chips for girls night. april hasn't happened yet. this weekend, hopefully.
15. redesign my online portfolio. again, haven't touched it.
16. hang out with old friends. bunco's been good. hopefully dave & i will get something scheduled soon. marlana & i have plans with marisa for june. andi hung out with dan & malissa again recently ... malissa's old, she's gonna be 30 this year. :)
17. learn to use my screen printing supplies. i may set aside a weekend to do this.
18. catch up my thumbnails. i need more paper.
19. read 3 new books. 1 - bob greene's total body makeover.
20. eat breakfast at lynn's paradise cafe. twice!
21. finish bob greene's total body make over. i'm not following it anymore. i made it through week 9 or 10 with the cardio. and then it just felt like a lot. i mean, i don't want to be working out an hour a day 6 days a week. so now i'm focused on 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week.
22. take a trip by myself. nothing planned.
23. finish the plastic purse. no work done. but thanks for the brown bags, julie!
24. files my taxes early. DONE!
25. work on a scrapbook. nothing started.
26. send Christmas cards. no pressure for them to be handmade, but i want to send out cards.
27. homemade Christmas presents. this is just a space filler, really. i know i'll make the Christmas presents. i even have a little bit of an idea of what they'll all be. but there's nothing wrong with setting a goal i KNOW i'll achieve, right? :)
28. secret. this one is fabulously exciting, but i can't tell you about it. yet.

Hey - watch what you say about my soon to be "big 30" ---- that reminds me, I really need to make a few phone calls......be on your best behavior, it will pay off, hopefully! :)
yeah, you young whippersnapper!
30 doesn't feel so old anymore now that it's right around the corner. I have some friends around 40, and the number itself seems like it should be old, but these guys don't seem old.
Looking good. And i love how you just threw in the whole "malissa's old" comment. Nice.
I feel so special, I was mentioned on Becca's blog!
You can't trust someone once they're 30.
i am in denial of 30. i think anyone i knew stops aging at 29. this keeps us young... and continues my denial forever of my own aging.
