29 before 29 or My New Year's Resolutions...

I'm not big on resolutions. I tend to make some pretty good ones each year, follow them for a couple of weeks and then somehow forget about them before February even comes around. 
This year instead of making resolutions I wanted to do a list of 29 things to accomplish before I turn 29. Since my birthday is at the end of this month (fifteen days!) I figured they could double as my resolutions. 
Here they are:

29 Before 29:  

1. Read 12 for pleasure books 

2. Read 6 books that will teach me something 

3. Get accepted to UO 

4. Win a scholarship to UO 

5. Get a job in my future field (whatever that is) 

6. Become a better far-away friend/relative 

7. Buy, wear and be comfortable in a bikini this summer 

8. Take a trip with the mister 

9. Get the car into the garage

10. Organize all my craft stuff 

11. Make a compost pile 

12. Plant a garden 

13. Spend more time with my girl friends 

14. Bring back date night 

15. Do something creative 30 minutes a day 

16. Make 12 new craft projects 

17. Take more pictures 

18. Have a girls weekend out of town

19. Have dinner with my sister 

20. Do a body-cleanse 

21. Put together my family recipe book 

22. Start a family picture wall for our little family 

23. Graduate from Lane with a 3.5 GPA or better 

24. Go to a play 

25. Acquire grown up living room furniture 

26. Purge the house

27. Organize what's left

28. Become a volunteer

29. Be a better blogger

I plan on keeping these and have already been working on most of them.

I already read one for pleasure book:

 I'm not a big fan of female comedians but I love Chelsea Handler! This book was just as good as the other two and I still don't have a favorite. 

Mark that off the list:

For Pleasure Books: 1/12

Have a great weekend peeps!

It's Tuesday. 

I don't really like Tuesday's.
It's sandwiched in between cranky Monday and almost there Wednesday.
And there is just so much to do. 
All the things around the house that I didn't do over the weekend. Thanks margaritas... 
The homework that is due Wednesday.
Grocery shopping since we ate all the food over the weekend.


Ugh.


Here's what I should do today:


*Put gas in the car. not really an option, hopefully I have enough to get to the gas station.
*Clean out the car. It's become pretty embarrassing.  
*Shop for food. THE WORST! This usually means I have to take an inventory of what I have, make a list, blah, blah, blah...
*Go to Target. The only thing I'm looking forward to.
*Finish my Biology portfolio. Due tomorrow, almost done, like 85%. 
*Study for Biology quiz tomorrow. Luckily this is the one I accidentally studied for two weeks ago.    
*Start reading Jane Eyre for my History of Women Writers class. 
*Look over the rough draft I just got back from my writing teacher. Final draft due Monday.
*Vacuum. I don't remember the last time I did this...J would be so disappointed!
*Dust. Someone wrote in my TV stand that this needed to be done.
*Put away laundry. At least it's done?
*Clean the bedroom. Pretty sure there's a cedar chest under that massive pile of clothes.
*Find my kitchen table. I know it's there somewhere.
*Pay the bills. Da bills! 

Oh yeah and The Giants play game 3 of the NLCS at 1:00, the mister said this morning that if I didn't watch it I would be fired and have to find a job. Like I would miss it!

And it's yogilates tonight. I'm beginning to think that it's about the only thing that keeps me sane through the week. 

Alright Tuesday. 
Let's do this.
You're going down! 

 
  
  

I'm not dead....I swear!

Hello interweb peeps! I know most of you have probably deserted me because this is my first post in almost TWO MONTHS! Two months! That's just crazy! I apologize for the lack of posts, my brain has been preoccupied with things like  Pre-Calculus and summer school. Pre-Calculus, bah! It was the worst class I have ever taken, and I am so happy that I have finished my math requirements for my undergraduate degree. Weeeeee!!!!! 
So now I have some time off before school starts back up again at the end of September. And boy do I have a list of things to do! 


My Summer Vacay To-Do List:


*Find a job that will work with my school schedule 
*Finish going through the unsorted boxes in the garage
*Make enough room in the garage for the car to be parked in
*Refinish secretary desk
*Organize laundry area
*Organize all the loose paperwork in the house
*Recover orange step stool
*Find a chair or couch for office


I know it may not seem like a lot, but I'm also sure that I've forgotten some of the stuff that I want to do. It'll come back to me. 
But first, I have to clean my house. That's the goal for today.
