new camera, running, dog walking, and a little mountaineer inn ;)

Well, I have several other things to cross off my list, so get ready for update numărul trei!

1. Buy a good camera and take more pictures.-DONE. I got an awesome deal on this camera: (I know it's not as nice as I wanted, but for my budget for right now, it's gonna have to do...plus, it's better than my other one)

2. Actually make prints of said pictures. - Now, I just have to take some pictures...
3. Keep my room clean for a full week. yeah....not counting on this one anytime soon. I'm beginning to think this one is going to be the hardest one to do.
4. Use my gym membership. I'm going to go ahead and cross this one off bc Jonathan and I have been going as much as we can with our schedules and other circumstances. We have a couple 5ks lined up and are beginning to train for a half-marathon. so I have no doubt in my mind that this will be more than accomplished.
5. Perform somewhere.

10. Pay off at least one credit card.   1/12/11! :)
11. Start doing yoga again.
12. Spend an entire day in Asheville with Jonathan. The weekend before last, we accomplished this goal. with lots and lots of memories and stories to tell. hahaha. "we at the hotel, motel, mountaineer inn!" that was for you, Lindsey :)
13. Let Jonathan know how much I love and appreciate him, everyday. -He says that I already do this, but I think I could do better.
14. Spend more time with my friends.
15. Read one of those classic novels with zombies added - also in progress, sorta.
16.  Cook dinner for my parents.
17. Visit somewhere haunted

20. Go to Carowinds
21. See my SLO girls.
22. Get my fortune told.

23. Give Blood.

24 things update #2 & a little Jimmy and David

Well, it's been a while, so here's a brief summary of what I've been up to: A whole lot of nothing.
But seriously, I had only been better from the flu for about 4 days when BAM! I got sick again. And I'm still not back to 100% but, I think I'll live. So aside from being sick, nothing much worth talking about has happened. Except for this past weekend when Jonathan and I went to see David Bazan and Jimmy Eat World. That was a pretty awesome night- I got a drumstick from Jimmy and I got to meet David. Yeah, be jealous. I am pretty awesome.

And, I have been working on my list, and have some more things to mark off. So here's update el número dos.

2. Actually make prints of said pictures.
3. Keep my room clean for a full week. yeah....not counting on this one anytime soon.

24 things I need to do before I turn 24

well, since there's only 6 months and 6 days before I turn 24, I figured now would be the time for me to start on my list of "24 things I need to do before I turn 24"
So here it is, in no particular order:


1. Buy a good camera and take more pictures.


2. Actually make prints of said pictures.


3. Keep my room clean for a full week. (and really clean, not just shoving things in the closet)...this one's going to be tough.


4. Use my gym membership.- my goal is to go at least 50 times before my birthday... that would be about 3-4 times a week. sounds reasonable, right?


5. Perform somewhere. It doesn't matter if it's singing or playing guitar, trumpet, piano, or any other instrument I get the desire to learn.


6. Take a trip up to Virginia to see my brother, his amazing wife, and my adorable nephew...And I might as well catch up with my long-lost JMU friends while I'm up there :)


7. Finish one of the 485974564 songs I've started writing- and actually play it for someone other than my mom.


8. Volunteer at the Humane Society. 


9. Spend a whole day with my nephew.....Just me and him, and he gets to choose what we do. I love that little guy!


10. Pay off at least one credit card. (I think I can, I think I can!)


11. Start doing yoga again. 


12. Spend an entire day in Asheville with Jonathan. (I love that place!)


13. Let Jonathan know how much I love and appreciate him, everyday. He is the best thing that's ever happened to me, so it's only natural that I dedicate his favorite number to him.<3


14. Spend more time with my friends. I have gotten too busy lately, and I really need to take more time for my awesome friends who have always been there for me.


15. Read one of those classic novels with zombies added. (Yes, I know, I'm a dork.)


16.  Cook dinner for my parents. (clean up is optional) 


17. Visit somewhere haunted. I don't really know of any places nearby, so I'm open to suggestions!


18. Play a song on my guitar for the kiddos. 


19. Take a day trip with no destination in mind.


20. Go to Carowinds. I keep saying I'm going to go, and never do. Now that it's on my list, I have to!


21. See my SLO girls. I miss those girls so much....I definitely think a Vegas reunion or something needs to happen asap. And, trying to be reasonable- if it doesn't work out that I get to make a trip before my birthday, I will definitely have to have skype dates with each of them :)


22. Get my fortune told.- I've always been curious about those places, so why not?


23. Give blood.- This is something I used to do often, but stopped....I shouldn't let that one bad experience stop me from doing something good!


24. Go to the beach. I miss that place. Plus, I haven't been to an East Coast beach in like 7 years. (Perhaps this can be a trip for my actual birthday....)




So there you have it. I will post entries to correlate when I actually do things and mark them off my list. I think all of these things are attainable within the next 187 days....but I better get started- only 4488 hours to go!
