(Wow, blogosphere, I don't know how to convince you that you aren't forgotten. I wouldn't believe me either, it's ok.)

SO! Today marks 5 years left to complete my list! (Happy Birthday to me!) And even though I haven't been posting here (shame, shame!) I have been thinking about many of my list items. And I might even let myself check one off. I'm still pondering. You'll see why in a minute.

To make this a little easier to keep track, I'm just going to go down the original list and voice what my thoughts are to get some of them done. (Or perhaps I should pick only 5 and focus my efforts? But why start being organized now?)

Ok. So. (here's da earth...)
1. Learn a third language conversationally (and have a conversation!) FUN FACT! My mom's family is from Italy, and two years ago my aunt & uncle took a trip there to meet some of our distant cousins. And now, one of those semi-distant cousins is coming to visit KC in July! So, I'm going to cram as much Italian into my tiny little brain as I can before then to see what I can do! (I will already be helping him out with interpretation; he speaks Spanish better than English. Yay!)
6. Scuba Dive This one might get scratched off. My sister & I road-tripped to Florida, swam with some manatees, and I could barely handle the snorkel mask. Oy.
8. Sew my own dress (that I will actually wear) This is the one I might be able to check off. I made a dress for my birthday dinner, but I can't decide if it's up to my high personal standards.
15. Improve relationship with sister Again, road trip to FL brought some things to light. Might need to change tactics...
19. Disneyland/world The novio and I have a trip to Florida planned to visit friends and my sister, and we are totally going!!!
24. Go back to school I've started to ponder what I should do. Spanish? Business? Studying in another country/continent?
27. Eat vegetarian one day each week I do this because I'm poor and haven't been grocery shopping in weeks. Doesn't quite count.

SO. Blog posts on those things coming soon!
