Sick in bed? Rediscover your blog...

There are a few things I'd like to add to my list, and a couple things I'd like to share with you that I accomplished.

54. Donate to charity as much as I possibly can.
55. Share some of my favorite childhood things with Jordyn.
56. Keep Austin overnight by myself.
57. Go see one (preferably more) of Ryan's games.
58. Help Seth and Aly plan their wedding!!
59. Bake like a Mommy around Christmas.
60. Be there for at least one of Austin's firsts (steps, words, crawl)
61. Get an A in my Costume 3 class.
62. Never let Barbara make me cry.


Some that I've accomplished:
31. Own more Beatles albums. My mommy bought a couple of the Beatles remasters and let me burn them from her. I'm still counting it.

11. Turn my phone off and disconnect for 24 hours!!! Ugh, it was grand. It was mine and Garrett's two year anniversary weekend and he got me the loveliest present. His work caters to a lot of high-end clients and the managers get freebie offers all the time. This weekend, they gave him a free night in a nice hotel in Downtown Dallas. It had a stocked kitchen, 300 channel cable and dvd player, hot tubs, free breakfast, whatever's bigger than King Sized bed, oh it was lovely. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to accomplish this goal. I often feel like we get distracted by video games and tv shows that I wanted to have a weekend just for us. We checked into the hotel and went across the street to Northpark and Buca diBeppo's for dinner. (Who wants to cook on vacation?!) We did stop at a gas station and buy ice cream to snack on all night and during the movies (another goal accomplishment.) And all this time, I didn't have my phone on!!! I tried to convince him to turn his off, but he felt more like it was being removed rather than freed. I checked before bed and when I woke up. (You see, I had a very pregnant sister-in-law.) I felt very calm the whole time.

8. Watch the last three episodes of Star Wars (the ones from the 80's). I took Episodes 4 and 5 to the hotel with us. I promised Garrett if he ever took a weekend off I'd watch them with him. He ONLY works weekends, 9 hour shifts an hour and a half away. So needless to say, my only free-time I'm pretty much Garrett-less. It makes me sad sometimes, other times I like the lack of distraction to catch up on projects and housey things. Either way, I promised him if he ever took off time I'd watch them with him. Then, when we got home we watched Episode 6. I really loved them, especially Harrison Ford. My only qualm was how distracting the "improvements" were. There were moments when it was obvious that those effects weren't there in the 80's haha.

48. Got new glasses!!!!! I love them and I've been wearing them since I got them.

51. Finish my portfolio. I don't know if you can ever "finish" your portfolio. I guess that means you're done with your career. But I brought it up to date finally.
