I'm Twenty-Eight...And A Half!

I can't believe it's already been 6 months since my birthday!  Why does time just keep getting faster & faster??  When I last checked in back in January I had 7 completed, 6 in progress, 1 failed, & 15 not started.  So let's see what I've gotten done in the past 3 months.

1. Pay off my car [#23 on 101 in 1001]
(When I got my tax refund in February I used part of it to pay off the rest of my car)

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

3. Donate blood 3 times [#42 on 101 in 1001]
(I had my first appointment back in January right after I posted my check in & just had my 2nd one this past Saturday)

4. Make a pie on Pi Day [#60 on 101 in 1001
(So I even blogged about pie recipes for Pi Day, but I wound up hanging out with friends instead of making one)

5. Run a 5k [#24 on 101 in 1001]

6. Have credit card debt at 5k or less [#69 on 101 in 1001]
(I don't really know why I hadn't marked this one as in progress last time...this is always in progress...)

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

8. Spend NYE with a S/O [#13 on 101 in 1001]

9. Eat at 24 new bars/restaurants [#21 on 101 in 1001]

10. Track spending for a month [#28 on 101 in 1001]
(I've gone back to doing this every month like I used to)

11. Get my own place
(On February 11 I moved into my own place...I still haven't given an apartment tour...)

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]

15. Send out Christmas cards [#86 on 101 in 1001]

16. Do a spending freeze for a month [#92 on 101 in 1001]
(I guess technically this is finished because I said for a month, but I'm doing mine for 2 months so I'm done on May 20)

17. Finish my Netflix watch list [#99 on 101 in 1001]
(Last time I had 2 seasons left of Shameless & had the following 9 shows to start afterwards: Orange Is The New Black, Grey's, House of Cards, Mad Men, Scandal, Dexter, Private Practice, & Narcos.  I got rid of Narcos because I couldn't deal with the having to read the subtitles to watch it.  I had started watching Mad Men & got 6 episodes in but then started watching Scandal instead)

18. Read 24 books [#9/10 on 101 in 1001]

19. Do a 30 day fitness challenge [#15 on 101 in 1001]
(I'm doing 30 miles in 30 days, & while I'm well over the 30 miles, I've basically changed it to at least a mile a day so I'll be done after the 30th)

20. Complete 52 week money challenge [#20 on 101 in 1001]
(I'm not technically doing this... I just put money in savings every pay day rather than weekly.  So as long as I have at least the $1378 in savings by the end that I would if I was doing this, I'm calling it a win)

21. Have $500 in savings [#44 on 101 in 1001]

22. Photograph the same spot each season [#59 on 101 in 1001]
(I couldn't decide where I wanted to photograph...so I didn't...)

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

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

24. Run a 1/2 marathon [#66 on 101 in 1001]

25. Sing karaoke [#67 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]

28. Take motorcycle license class [#26 on 101 in 1001]

29. Visit 3 museums [#31 on 101 in 1001]

Pass: 10
In Progress: 8
Failed: 2

I got an additional 3 completed & now only have 9 not started instead of 15.  By the time my next check in rolls around I'm expecting to have #3, #16, #19, & #22 completed for sure.  There are another 3 that I could also complete without much effort.

  3. Well happy half birthday! You definitely have to do the apartment tour, I love seeing where people live and how they use/decorate a space.
