Miss me?

I would think not as I hardly have anything exciting to say even when I am writing consistently.  I have not accomplished anything on the list since the last time I wrote - meaning not much to write about. The Hubby and I have been talking about what to do for his 30th in about a month and mine in February.  More than likely I am going to be driving a convertible, listening to Atlas Shrugged, singing Karaoke at the top of my lungs on my way to the Gun Range on my 30th birthday. :) Well, it might not be that bad as I did buy the latest Living Social Deal and I have two tickets to the local range that will be used in the near future.

Yesterday The Hubby participated in a grueling 55 mile mountain bike race.  I tagged along as someone has to fill the water bottles, pass out the goo packs, and check to ensure that he is fully conscious when he comes to visit me about every hour and 15 minutes.  I brought the camera along as well and used it is an opportunity to practice my skills.  Not sure how he manages to crack a smile, but I think he actually enjoys himself - why else would you put yourself through that! My reward for a job well done was a trip to THREE vineyards on the way home.  I purchased 4 bottles of wine and added two glasses to my collection.  I do not own a matching set of wine glasses - I instead have about 12 glasses from the local vineyards that I have visited since living here.  I have never taken an official "Wine Tasting Class," but I have developed an education from talking to the owners.  I would like to take a class - that is why it is on the list - but that is not a cheap thing to do, so I may just make a trip into the country and hit up a few more vineyards and absorb as much knowledge... and wine... as I can.



Tomorrow night is my last cake decorating class of session 2 - flowers.  Over the last few weeks and I have been making tons of flowers and tomorrow night I will be putting them into an eccentric arrangement on the top of a cake. I am sure it will look weird, but I made all the flowers - what else am I going to do with them?

6 months...

Today is my half birthday, so I guess technically I should be done with half of the list - right? Wrong. There are still a ton of things left on the list to accomplish and I have only six months to do so.  It seems that what I thought was the "easy" stuff has been put off to the end.  I mean, how hard is it to drive a convertible? Well, it is really hard if you don't know anyone that owns one! I have also been staring at my scrapbook "stuff" set up on a table for about a month now and I have not made one step towards the table and progress.  The Hubby and I have discussed many times about how we "need" to plan and schedule the trip to New York, but have not done anything for that yet other than looking up the price of tickets.  I feel like such a slacker.

I did buy the living social deal of the day today and now have an all day pass at a local gun range - progress in the right direction. I still have to go before I can cross it off the list though.  That is about all the progress that has been made since last I wrote.  I am taking the second course in cake decorating - gum paste flowers.  One class so far and a couple of cute little flowers made. 

Hopefully in the next few months I can scratch a few more things off the list.  I am a realist and I know that I am not going to get it all done - I just want to accomplish as much as I can. :)
