Convertible

Last weekend I was able to test drive cars, a promotion from the car show. It was kinda cool getting to ride in different vehicles... even better was the convertible. It does not really count but it kinds does. At least a semi check of my list as I did drive one. Yet I hope to do it rock star style with my girl Ms. J.

It is an intense list, always is but with dedication and planning I can do it. Making time and just doing it. There is a lot that while happen in this coming year and I am excited for it. Some of the every day changes I would like to make are to:

1. Be healthier - with what I eat and making working out a priority.
2. Be proactive - in my job search, networking and living my life.
3. Seek balance - in my work/personal life, health, emotional and mental well being.
4. Organize - my life, my house, keeping a schedule planner.

This year is starting well, my school the University of Oregon won the Rose Bowl for the first time in 95 years... like the Duck I won't quit either. Let rock this year, so do you have plans?

2011 Checked

 
In 2011, I have been very busy with school and falling in love but I have kept trying to work on goals. This is not just some random bucket list, it is important to me. I do not feel that I was as successful this year as last.
Though, I did cross things off my list. That is always a good feeling. Sadly there have been things on my list that have stayed on it twice. Whereas some choices on my list of 100 things to do need to be re-evaluated.

This year, I got:
1. Skydiving  - Because I a crazy enough to do it... though it does make bungee seem weak now.
2. Gardening - I managed to be successful this year. I am excited for next year.
3. Visit a Renaissance fair - to go back in time and enjoy a bit of cheesiness.

4. Yoga - trying to find a balance of my mind, body and soul. I have found this is my favorite pose.


4. Send a message in a bottle - because sometimes you just have to let things go.

5.  My Masters of Science in Marketing & 6. Public Relations Graduate Certificate - A great party for a lot of hard work. A picture with my parents at the party.
7. Dance in the pouring rain - Why not? If you're already soaked... why let it ruin your day? DANCE
8. Fire a gun - Because I have never held a real one before.
