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!

2 Order Europe trip plane tix

Worky work – busy bee! Way to go. Perhaps instead of giving up something this month, try to incorporate something healthy more often – like more greens, etc. Just a thought!
That’s a really good suggestion Sara. I hadn’t thought of that…
Wow, you’ve really been cranking out the list! Are we going to get any pics of your adventures on the slopes??
Ha. I only took 3 pictures all weekend and we were there 3 days! I’ll have to upload them and see how they turned out…
