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)

    Great progress! I am 25 and should start thinking about making a list like this. You should definitely plan the Boston blogger event soon – I’d love to meet you! Are you attending Blogtoberfest this week?

    You are making great progress!

    About those molten lava cakes… do you have The Modern Baker? It’s the only recipe I’ve found for them that actually worked. If you want it, let me know.

    Good for you! Look at all the progress you made! Can I get in on some of these? Like maybe the volunteer project, the girl’s night, definitely the Boston blogger event and the donuts? 🙂
