27 at 27: January Update

It has officially been one month (and 3 days) since I turned 27. I thought it was time for an update on my progress. I've blogged about most of my accomplishments but not all of them. And I thought I'd update on those tasks that are in progress. You know, in case anyone is actually reading this blog. :)

Here we go!

1. Visit a place I've never been. Only a few months left until I step onto the beaches of Hawaii!!

2. Take a Class. 

3. Write a rough draft of a novel or short story.

4. Get in the shape I want to be in. 

5. Eat healthier. This is a work in progress. I have discovered Whole Foods and have made quinoa in about four different ways (some better than others). I've also been cooking asparagus and cauliflower mashed potatoes (which taste nothing like potatoes btw). 

6. Try a new vegetable. 

7. Go to a concert. 

8. Save more money than I did this year. 

9. See a play. 

10. Try my hand at photography. 

11. Do a wine tasting. 

12. Eat at a restaurant I've never eaten at before.  For my friend Lesley's birthday, we ate dinner at PF Chang's. I'd always heard about it but never eaten there. Courtney and I split the dinner for two ($40 total). We had lettuce wraps, outstanding egg drop soup, Mongolian beef, honey chicken, and fried wantons with vanilla cream for dessert. And margaritas because... because. It was a bit expensive but the food was good! Also, if you plan to go to this restaurant you will want to make a reservation at least a day or so before. The wait for non-reservations is around two hours. 

13. Try new kinds of sushi. 

14. Run a 5K. I've already registered for two 5Ks coming up this spring!

15. Watch Breaking Bad. 

16. Make a craft and attempt to sell it on Etsy. I've come up with a few ideas for this but no progress has been made so far.

17. Make a T-shirt quilt. 

18. Attempt a new activity. 

19. Have at least one themed party. 

20. Bake a new kind of pie. 

21. Make a crafty map of the United States. 

22. Learn how to curl my hair. I've curled my hair three times now with my new curling wand I got for Christmas. It has actually turned out pretty good so far but I'll wait on this one.

23. Go to a drag queen show. 

24. Go glamping. 

25. Do something that scares me. 

26. Re-organize my closet area.   Don't think I blogged about this one, but I finally got my closet organized! It only cost me $80 in storage containers. :/  I will say that it looks good though. 

27. Blog more! 

So yeah, I've managed to cross 6 things off of my list. Not bad for one month.
