32 X 32 Update

I'm two and half months into the new year and my list is getting longer. Okay, not really. It just seems that way to me. As of today (my least favorite day of the year), I officially have three months left to complete roughly 26 items on my list. There are several that are in progress and will hopefully be completed in time.

I figured since Valentines is generally a drag for me, I would find some way to make it more interesting. Seems like an ideal time to scratch something off my list. I can't think of a better way to humiliate myself than to put on the dreaded swim suit and take my winter white, pasty self to the pool for some water zumba. That's right...#4 is complete. Booyah! I'm not sure I would call it fun but, it was a good mix up to my work out. The best part is that my lack of coordination and dance ability is hidden under water. Awesome.

Other updates...

12. Start learning a new language. I selected Italian. I purchased a phrase book and cd to start learning some of the basics. Clearly I won't be able to speak or understand much by May, but hopefully I'll be able to toss around a few phrases. Maybe someday I'll be fortunate enough to actually go to Italy and use it.

13. A set of 50 push ups. So....what if they're all "girly" push ups? Does that count? At this point I'm not even close to doing 50 girl push ups so I'm thinking that may have to be the goal. 50 standard push ups, mmmm...unlikely.

14. Start a business. Although I can't officially cross this off my list as complete, I'm definitely getting closer and I do intend to have filed the name with state by May. A website is already in the works. Resources for other essentials are being researched. Many thanks to the friends that are supporting me in this venture. :)

15. Learning a design/software program. Ha! Okay, I've decided so far this stuff isn't cut out for me. I downloaded GIMP a free program to try to learn the basics on. I don't get it. I need some serious tutorials. I'm not sure if the Adobe software would be any easier. I do hope to have something to show for this.

28. Go on a blind date. Still need some help with this, peeps. ; )

29. Find a mentor. I think this one can be considered complete. I met with someone I respect and admire and she was kind enough to lend me a fresh perspective and get me in touch with some new contacts. I'm very fortunate to be surrounded by so many great individuals.

Okay, I think that about wraps up this update. Thanks for following. Now..I'm about to take myself out to meet a friend for an anti-V Day drink. Cheers!
