Two days ago I turned 28. I already shared with you my 29 by 29 list, & today I'm here to show you how I did on my 28 by 28 list.
1. Get into grad school PASS
2. Be in a real relationship FAIL
3. Visit a new state FAIL
4. Have my smallest loan paid off: PASS
5. Attend 9 concerts: PASS
6. Try 24 new restaurants/bars: PASS
7. Cut my credit card debt down by 1/3: FAIL
8. Go 1 month without using a credit card: PASS
9. Run a 5k FAIL
10. Read 15 books FAIL
11. Get another tattoo PASS
Technically I didn't have it before I turned 28...but I made the appointment before I turned 28 & I'm getting it today so...
12. Get back down to 150-155 & maintain it PASS
13. Have $1000 in savings PASS
14. Stick to my new 1-48-5 rule when it comes to dating PASS
15. Get my CDL FAIL
But that's because I didn't really want to get it. I was supposed to get it as a coach but I never finished it & now that I'm not coaching there's no point.
16. Get my CHL FAIL
I could have easily done it. I took the class a couple of years ago & had until this past September to turn in the paperwork/pay the fee. Ultimately I decided not to. Why? At this point in time it just seemed unnecessary. I work in schools & in a bar... and I'm there all the time. At neither place could I carry a weapon either. Also, I don't even have a firearm in Texas.
17. Kiss someone on NYE: PASS
This was a very generous pass. I spent NYE with Mr. Midwest. We did not kiss. I wasn't even awake at midnight. But I was with a guy I cared about & that's what counts.
18. Have my tarot read PASS
19. Donate blood FAIL
But I did try...I was just turned away for having too low of iron.
20. Meet a blogger PASS
Much like the tattoo, technically a fail. But I had a blate schedule BEFORE I turned 28 & that's also happening today. Still counts.
21. Learn to play a song on the guitar FAIL
This is going to stop being a goal...I have the guitar, I've had the guitar. I just don't sit down to learn.
22. Don't get any type of traffic ticket FAIL
I got a red light ticket...which I still think is BS because I made a right turn on red, which was allowed, but because I yielded instead of coming to a full stop (other cars were making a left turn so I knew there were no cars coming) I got a ticket.
23. Go horseback riding FAIL
24. Go to a Twins, Vikings, & Wild game: PASS
I'm going to count it as one anyway. I didn't make it to a Twins game but I did go to a Vikings & Wild game...in addition to a Rangers game so all 3 sports were hit.
25. Go to Fort Worth, San Antonio, & Houston rodeos: PASS
I'm also going to count this as a pass even though I didn't go to the one in Houston. I made it to the other 2 & went to 2 other ones in Minnesota.
26. Complete 3 30 Day Challenges PASS
27. Learn Spanish PASS-ISH
28. Finish a 1000 piece puzzle FAIL
16/28...could've done better, could've done worse.
i think you got lots done! it's hard to plan a bunch of things to do over a long time like a year when you have no idea what might change and all that. enjoy your blate and tattoo!
ReplyDeleteI think you did pretty good! It is hard to get everything done and sometimes your priorities change. There is always next year.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about you this weekend birthday girl! My husband and I just got back into town late last night so I'm catching up on blogs! You did pretty darn good girl! I know lots of people that don't get near this many of their goals met! I hope you had a wonderful wonderful birthday that was a sweet as you!
ReplyDeleteAww thank you! I'm actually satisfied with how I did. Sure I could've done better, but I got some of the big & important ones done & that's what matters. I hope you had a great weekend & are having a great week so far!
DeleteHappy Belated Birthday! :) I think you crossed off a lot of good ones! Reminds me that I really need to get workin' on the rest of my 30 before 30 list ha!
