Status Update

It's less than six months until I turn 25, and thus it's the halfway point of my 24 Before 25 goal list. Crazy. So here is an update of some progress I've made from the list. 

• Learn to give myself a decent manicure - Check! I'm judging this on right hands only. Why? Because I can. Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear really helped me out with this. Inexpensive and good colors at Le Target.
• Read 5 classics - Gone With the Wind, check. Four to go. Suggestions?
• Finish watching all seasons of The Cosby Show - Check! The public library came through in a big way for us. One day they were on order by the system, the next they were on display in the new materials section with a heavenly halo of light shining upon them. (Or was that just florescent lights?) Nathan and I laughed, we cried, we fell in love with Theo/Denise (respectively), and we basically want to be Cliff and Clair. Huxtables for life.
• Go to a Diamondbacks game - Check! We lived large from our top balcony seats, eating value hot dogs, basking in the air-conditioned stadium and using our good luck charm selves to ensure a win for the home team. Bonus - the after game fireworks looked awesome from our semi-nosebleed vantage point.
• Make a door wreath - Half finished, sitting on our porch. Working up the motivation to make a last trip to Hob Lob.
• Grow an herb garden Try and grow an herb. - Check! Our apartment is north facing and gets zero(!) direct sunlight, so growing plants = impossible. But I tried. Goodness, I tried.I even put my little plant in the car when I went to work so it could get some sun, but it quickly fried up in the heat.
• Run my fifth sixth 10k - I realized I've actually run five already. Planning on substituting this with a 40 mile bike race with my SILs. That I am not really going to train for. Ha!
• Join a produce co-op - Check! The ever popular Bountiful Baskets is treating me right. It even made me face my lifelong fear/loathing for mushrooms. I cooked, I ate, I conquered. Veni vidi, fungi. 
• Figure out what works and what doesn't for my hair - cuts, styling, etc. - Check! Well, I feel like I'm learning. I'm embracing the wave in my hair and just being less lazy when it comes to actually doing something with it. 
• Float the Salt River - Check! - We may have been the only sober ones for miles but we went and we floated our hearts out. I even got to bust out my Chacos for it. Any activity with Chacos involved is a win in my book.
