33 for 33 Update - 4 months in...

  1.  Run a 5K (Did a 2 mile race in July)
  2. Achieve a "normal" BMI (so very close, 2# away)
  3. Wear a bikini - even if just in private (Do Tankinis count?  Didn't think so)
  4. Take a photography class (Took one online - but haven't practiced much)
  5. Get a new tattoo
  6. Hike Badger 5 times (2 times so far)
  7. Eat more veggies daily
  8. Go on a weekend trip away with no kids (Adult weekend at the Roberts Cabin in June)
  9. Take a family vacation (Not quite what we planned but we took a 3 day trip to Silverwood)
  10. Finish our shop (Done enough to count, still waiting for power)
  11. Move into our new house (I think I'll be cutting this one a little close)
  12. Plant a garden
  13. Pay off the Tahoe (Would be moving along faster if we hadn't purchased a "new" truck)
  14. Decrease non-mortgage debt (Moving right along - boat is paid off)
  15. Practice Yoga weekly
  16. Scrapbook monthly (not so much)
  17. Sew Something
  18. Go Kayaking
  19. Float the River
  20. Go Wine Tasting
  21. Sell our house  (Yay -we closed this week)
  22. Go white water rafting
  23. Finish 5 books on Good Reads list - not new additions (one down - 3 currently underway)
  24. Smile More
  25. Go on adventure walks with boys monthly
  26. Get a massage
  27. Build a piece of furniture
  28. Keep a one sentence journal for a month
  29. Monthly game/movie nights with kids
  30. Finish my "Encyclopedia of Me"
  31. Volunteer
  32. Improve/Maintain/Make New Friendships
  33. Make more desserts!
So that's where I am at so far!  I still have a lot to do, some of which will be pretty difficult without a house to live in.  The sun is fading fast too, so I am afraid all of my water adventures won't come to fruition either; considering we didn't even un-winterize (is that a word?) our boat this year.

There are still a lot of adventures to be had...

    Moving Right Along

    The Shop floor was poured today with lots of late night work this week from Josh and lots of great help today! 

    I HATE slippery shiny concrete surfaces! I can barely walk in my in-laws garage with bare feet without gritting my teeth.  I think I am going to be very happy with with this power trowel finish on my feet!



    Uncle T & Brody on a break!  Love how he's drinking and driving my 4 year old in the lift!

    We had a surprise visit from Mr. Hamby this morning and I'm glad he showed up to help!  I am sure the guys were too. 
    The metal is being delivered at 3pm today so Josh is going to have a very busy weekend in front of him.  I'm thinking we should be having some margaritas by a pool tonight to prepare for another long day.

    Late T-Ball Layout

    Posted by Picasa

    Though it was a little a lot crazy to have both  boys in sports this spring, it was great in a lot of ways!  We were fortunate enough to have practice on the same night at the same location with enough space in between that we could handle it even on single parent nights.
    It was great for Brody to get to be the center of our attention for an activity and we met some wonderful new friends thanks to T-Ball! (But I am really glad its over!)

    Ten on Tuesday

    1. Hanging at home with the boys today after Boone spent Monday afternoon throwing up!  
    2. My scale is slowly recovering from the shock I gave it after a fun cabin weekend with Josh and the Roberts'.  
    3. The boys are a week into their short summer hair cuts with no sun to keep their poor heads warm.
    4. The shop is more than half way done and is going to stay that way for three weeks (Cabin Weekend, Hoopfest, and Mottet).
    5. Interviewing a new realtor tomorrow.
    6. Loving all of my new CAbi clothes, can't wait to see the fall line.
    7. Wishing we were planning a vacation this summer!
    8. Wanting to go run today but think that Josh's 5:30 tee time will probably keep that from happening.
    9. Crossed one of the five Badger Mountain hikes off of my list for the year.
    10. Pretty excited that there is a new Ramona movie coming out.

    For My Running Friends...

    I want to know what music you run to.  Just your favorite upbeat music or is there a method to your selection process.  Below is a pic of my current playlist for running - and because most of you know me, you won't be surprised to learn that these songs were methodically selected because they are all very close to 140 beats per minute.  Luckily, the list is long enough that, set to shuffle, I haven't gotten bored with it yet since I obviously can't run the full length of this playlist.


    So, what do you like?  What motivates you?

    (I crack up every time I listen to Hey Ya thinking of Jessica helping my 3 month old Boone shake his little body to that song!)
