v3.0 - 4 months to go!
1. host a party. we're totally slaughtering pumpkins in a few weeks. if that's not a party, i don't know what is.
2. attend a series of cubs games. yeah, not so much. my plan was to go to all four games in denver aug. 7-10. but getting tickets for four games got pretty expensive. so i'm conceding defeat.
3. organize my recipes. done! olive green binder divided into dish types (apps/snacks, breakfast, main dish, dessert, etc.) i even jimmied the divider tabs so they stick out beyond the protector sheets. i still have some recipes that are in my e-mail, but i think i'll leave them there as a back up. if/when i decide to make one of them and print it out - i'll add it to the binder.
4. take a trip with marlana for our 30th birthdays. it was ireland, baby! and it was amazing.
5. on time blood work & med refill. i'm calling this done & successful. thanks to switching around my medical insurance, i got some extra medicine out of last year's blood work - so i won't have to deal with the blood work part again until after my next birthday. now, i just need to find a doctor to do that blood work. but, that's not part of the goal. ;)
6. secret. done! but still a secret.
7. use my dehydrator. there are currently chicken bones drying out for halloween decorations. and i gotta say, just having the dehydrator running makes me want to make some jerky.
8. finish catch 22. finished! after starting the book at least a dozen different times, i have persevered! and, yes, i enjoyed the book. i even contemplated starting it over (again) with the plan of reading it straight through. you know, without the 2 month non-reading gap in the middle. but seriously? i'll just be glad i finished it. :)
9. carry the french fry embargo through the end of april (with an exception for ireland). i was very close. after going to ireland, i never got back into the "no french fry" gig. i made it 10.5 months.
10. blog 260 times. 140 so far. i'm gonna have to get my blog on in the next few months.
11. hang out with dave. i have not hung out with dave, yet. but i did get a delightful postcard from him yesterday, sent from italy. :)
12. secret. this one will be revealed at the end, but i can tell you it's going really well. :)
13. photograph the alphabet. done! three times so far. :) i'd still like to do one with twisting lights into the letters - like writing with sparklers or a flashlight. i have a tripod now, so i just need a trigger. or a long enough exposure to open the shutter, get in front of the camera, and create the letter.
14. blog the tasting of a variety of cheeses. i haven't blogged about them, yet, but i have tasted some new cheeses recently. so i'm making progress.
15. add three bloody games to my game closet. done! this year i've added gloom, falling and unexploded cow.
16. host a bloody game night. beth, jonathan & laure were all here for bloody gaming in may. :)
17. send Christmas cards. not yet, but i've got time. ;)
18. finish watching all the movies alan alda appears in that are available from netflix. done! and i have to say i totally enjoyed this goal. i watched his work from first-released to most-recent, and it was a lot of fun. all the movies (except Purlie Victorious, which i can't stand because of the accents) were quality alan alda goodness. even if he did cry in some of them. *shiver*
19. take a trip to colorado. i went in august & had a fabulous time. :)
20. plant some vegetables. i failed on this one.
21. take a trip by myself. hey, work was kind enough to give me a few more days off & get picky about when i take my vacation time ... so planning this one just got a little easier.
22. crochet a scarf. now i have two ideas & have made no progress ... i should be doing this while i watch movies.
23. eat pizza in 10 different towns/cities. one: dante's (munster); two: sanfratello's (highland); three: alcasar pizza bistro (gort, ireland); four: mcalister's deli (fishers). five: homemade (fort collins); six: homemade (cedar lake); seven: pizzeria uno (merrillville).
24. make a muffuletta. i got a recipe from patti for this. i'm very excited about the olive salad. :) but i either need to pare down the recipe or make it for the pumpkin slaughter party when there will be people to help me eat it.
25. journal my 30th year. i've made some notes, and have some mementos saved ... this could still happen.
26. attempt a traveling journal. nothing, yet.
27. participate in illustration friday six times. i've done four so far! you can see 'em here. this week's topic is "pattern" ... i should be all over that.
28. finish a quilt for myself. the quilting mood hasn't set upon me again, yet. with the weather turning colder, i'll probably be pulling out a project soon.
29. customize the recycled table in the living room. i should at least get the legs painted black before it gets too cold.
30. work on the california photo book. i'm currently torn on this one. in 2006 i drove up the coast from san diego to san francisco. but i plan to finish that drive (san francisco north to the corner of washington) before i turn 36. and i'll want the book to cover the entire journey - not just the first leg. so i can do some work on it (yay for vague goals), but i don't think i can finish it. not without having to take it apart later, at least.
