Oh little blog, how I feel I have abandoned you these past months. Life has either been too busy to find time to blog, or too uneventful with nothing to blog about.
But now I find myself another year older, another blog to post.
On X-X-X, I turned the big 2-9. And with every birthday for a moment you think of where you thought you would be when you one day got to said age...but I decided to take a different route, call it wisdom in my new older age. Forget New Years, birthdays are the time for resolutions and wishes. So that's what I decided to do. To come up with 10 things I want to do, learn, accomplish by the time I am, ahem, 30. These aren't things like have a baby, get married or get my RN...those are dependent on other people and this list is about muah - to make me a stronger, well-rounded woman of her 30's, which is the new 20's. Right?
I wanted to post these TEN resolutions on October 10, 2010 but eh, it's the thought that counts. Aww, I love the number 10 and it's the number of all numbers this year....J is the 10th letter in the ABC's, my b-day is 10-10, it's been 10 years since High School, 10 years of being an Alpha Phi...you get the picture.
I thought long and hard over this list...
...so here goes. Somewhat from simplest changes to the most extreme.
1) Drink more H20 everyday.
2) Be better about sunscreen. I know better and I'm going to pay the price if I don't.
3) Wear dish gloves when doing dishes and scrubbing the house squeaky clean! Ok, so this sounds silly but I remember being younger, like 25 or so, my mom told me that the 2 areas that show your age the fastest are the back of your hands and your neckline. And she's right...my mom has the softest, prettiest hands! So really 2 and 3 go together to keep my skin looking young, fresh and healthy.
4) Never fall asleep with make-up on again...'nuff said.
5) Give back more to my community, fellow man, the animals and the environment.
6) Learn sign language.
7) Live by this...
Do more than belong: participate.
Do more than care: help.
Do more than believe: practice.
Do more than be fair: be kind.
Do more than forgive: forget.
Do more than dream: work.

8) Get as close to debt free (with the exception of mine newly accrued student loans) as possible. Aww the sweet smell of financial freedom.
9) Climb Mt. Whitney with 2 of my fav guys (sorry Toby, not you buddy) - Ry and my Dad
10) Hold and feed a baby wild animal. Tiger, koala, giraffe...any will do.
So what are you going to do this year?
