Checking things off my list!

I am proud to say that I was able to check the first item of my list of 13.5 things to do in a 1/2 year! I finally got our plane tickets to Denver booked. Woohoo for checking something off my list!!

I’ve also started reading my D40 manual. I was reading all about flash settings and how to adjust the intensity because my food pictures are starting to hurt due to the shorter days. It gets dark here around 4:30ish. A couple of these things require help or cooperation from other people, specifically #2 and 3. So watch out for some serious re-dedication to the cause. Now that these things are on my list, they’re going to happen. That’s the magic of list making!

1 ~~Order Denver trip plane tix by 12/31~~ (finished 12/20)
2 Order Europe trip plane tix
3 Start kitchen remodel
4 Make creme brulee
5 Work out 3x/wk for 6 wks (one / two / three / four / five / six)
6 Eat no french fries for a month (and I LOVE french fries)
7 Read my D40 manual, and start applying what I’m learning from it – started
8 Finish the major craft project I started 2 years ago
9 Go to a dr about my wrist
10 Send baked goods to family/friends (at least 3 times)
11 Read 1 book/month (Jan / Feb / Mar / Apr / May / June)
12 Learn to ski
13 Plan/Host a girls night (in or out)
13.5 Send at least 5 birthday cards (one / two / three / four / five)

baked donuts are fun but they don’t really taste like donuts (as much as I tried to convince myself). Making regular fried donuts is fun and pretty easy!

You know you are my 30 by 30 mentor, right? I’ve started working on two of the items on my list right now but it is going to be interesting to see if I can get it all done in a year!

Just starting the projects is half the battle! I finally did my own painting “touch ups” in the living room last week. I used the canister that said “dining room white,” because they’re the same color, right? Nope. When it dried, it was very obviously NOT “living room white.” *Sigh.* So much for getting that project done – I just made it worse!
