Well, less than 16 months left to go. Time to check in on my progress.
1. Visit at least one MLB stadium.
2. Binge watch a TV show. I recently caught up on the first two seasons of Daredevil. #TeamFoggy
3. Visit a location made famous by moves or TV.
4. Learn how to change a tire.
5. Learn to sew a button on a shirt.
6. Run/Walk a half marathon. Last weekend I did the impossible. Without training much at all, I took on a 13.1 mile walk and lived to tell the tale. Courtney and I partook in the Diva's Half Marathon in Atlanta. My feet are still recovering and my muscles are still sore, but I feel accomplished. No, I didn't run most of the race. No, I didn't finish in the allotted amount of time (3 hours). But I did finish and I did get my medal from a hot, shirtless fireman. It occurred to me about 5 miles in that I may have gotten myself in over my head. Especially when I could feel the blisters forming on my poor flat feet. But I kept going anyway and eventually hobbled across the finish line. Will I do another half marathon? Maybe. But not before training a bit more (a lot more) and acquiring some type of gel inserts for my tennis shoes. Curse you, flat feet!
7. Eat dinner at one of the world's best restaurants.
8. Sing karaoke at a bar. I have, as of today, sang on two different occasions at a karaoke establishment. The place I visited is called Echo in Duluth, GA. I like this place because each group gets their own private room so you only have to sing in front of people you know. They have drinks and snacks and there is a phone in each room to place additional orders. They also have a ton of songs to choose from so you're sure to find plenty you know. Check it out if you're ever in the area and looking for something fun to do on a Saturday night.
9. Learn how to make a good cocktail.
10. Volunteer.
11. Go skiing.
12. Take a pottery class.
13. See a Broadway play.
14. Ride a bike.
15. Re-purpose furniture.
16. Finally finish that rough draft.
17. Craft more.
18. Clean up my mess.
I re-did my closet a few months back (if I can find the pictures I took of that adventure, I will do a blog about it) and threw away/donated a lot of stuff, but I still have more work to do. The next item on my To Do list is to re-organize my pantry and kitchen cabinets. And hopefully I can renovate my bathroom in the near future as well.
19. Learn Spanish.
20. Get better at meal planning.
21. Develop a workout routine.
22. Read at least half of the books I own and have never read.
This is becoming increasingly difficult as I keep buying more books, but I have been reading and that is what counts.
23. Go to a sushi bar.
24. Buy a couch.
25. Scrapbook.
Courtney, Hillary and I made our friend Britney a scrapbook not too long ago, but I'll leave this one for now as I intend to scrapbook more in the next year and a half.
26. Get my photography certification.
Only one class to go!
27. Treat myself!
28. Make jewelry.
29. Complete a 30 day writing challenge.
30. Finish old projects.
22. Read at least half of the books I own and have never read. This is becoming increasingly difficult as I keep buying more books, but I have been reading and that is what counts.
