Wasn't My Birthday Yesterday??

I have been 28 for 3 months now.  It honestly feels like my birthday was a lot longer ago.  I honestly feel like I'm not doing too bad on my list.  I already have one failed, & there are a couple of other ones that might not happen (I'm looking at you credit card & student loan debt), but other than that I already have 7 fully completed & a couple of others that will be done relatively soon.  For 3 months in that's not bad.

1. Pay off my car [#23 on 101 in 1001]
(I recently put a large chunk of money on my car so now I'm down to owing less than $800 on it.  I'll have it paid off before summer starts.)

2. Go to CA, WA, or OR [#47 on 101 in 1001]

3. Donate blood 3 times [#42 on 101 in 1001]
(I have an appointment for the 29th of this month)

4. Make a pie on Pi Day [#60 on 101 in 1001

5. Run a 5k [#24 on 101 in 1001]
(Back in December I did the Rock'N'Roll 5k in San Antonio)

6. Have credit card debt at 5k or less [#69 on 101 in 1001]

7. Have student loans at 60k or less [#2 on 101 in 1001]

8. Spend NYE with a S/O [#13 on 101 in 1001]
(I did something way cooler & did a midnight hike at Palo Duro Canyon)

9. Eat at 24 new bars/restaurants [#21 on 101 in 1001]
(I've already been to 21...only 3 more to go over the next 9 months)

10. Track spending for a month [#28 on 101 in 1001]
(I'm currently doing this.  I'm not counting bills but all other spending like groceries/gas/fun)

11. Get my own place
(I move in on Feb 11!)

12. Go ziplining [#51 on 101 in 1001]

13. Attend Austin City Limits [#55 on 101 in 1001]

14. Watch the sunrise on New Year's Day [#81 on 101 in 1001]
(Not only did I watch the sunrise, I got to do it in a state park)

15. Send out Christmas cards [#86 on 101 in 1001]
(I just went to Walmart & bought some cards to send out.  Next year I want to do fun ones)

16. Do a spending freeze for a month [#92 on 101 in 1001]

17. Finish my Netflix watch list [#99 on 101 in 1001]
(I'm currently watching Shameless.  I only have 2 seasons left & then I have 9 more shows to finish: Orange Is The New Black, Grey's, House of Cards, Mad Men, Scandal, Dexter, Private Practice, & Narcos.  Any suggestions on which one I should tackle next?  I may end up getting rid of Narcos because as interesting as it seems, I tried watching an episode & I couldn't keep up because I wasn't sitting there reading the subtitles like I needed to)

18. Read 24 books [#9/10 on 101 in 1001]
(I have hit a serious reading slump.  I was doing so good & now I haven't read in almost a month.  I'm on book #8 though)

19. Do a 30 day fitness challenge [#15 on 101 in 1001]

20. Complete 52 week money challenge [#20 on 101 in 1001]

21. Have $500 in savings [#44 on 101 in 1001]
(I have exactly $500 in savings.  I'm counting it as a pass right now...but if I don't have at least that in there by the end I will turn it back into a fail)

22. Photograph the same spot each season [#59 on 101 in 1001]

23. Visit a new ballpark [#62 on 101 in 1001]

23. Attend 2 MLB games [#63 on 101 in 1001]

26. Watch 2 movies in a theater in 1 day [#71 on 101 in 1001]

27. Build a snowman [#84 on 101 in 1001]

  2. Good job paying off your car! I love the idea of photographing the same thing each season, especially something in nature that totally changes. All of Canada's National Parks/Historic Sites are free this year and I'm hoping to visit a whole bunch of them!
