Halfway there...

January 7, 2013: It's my half birthday!  Yay, celebrate with me! (Do a little jig, drink your favorite beverage, blow out some candles on a giant cake)...

Which also means that I'm halfway through my "30 now that I'm 30" challenge... and that scares the crap out of me, as I have a lot left to finish...

To date, I've completed 8 out of the 31 (yes, 31...):

• #4 Dress like a superhero
• #5 See a Steelers game in enemy territory
• #11 Visit my parents in Alabama
• #14 Go to a concert
• #19 Travel somewhere else on my bucket list
• #20 Visit the NY Botanical Garden (post coming sooon!!!)
• #21 See the Book of Mormon on Broadway
• #26 See Fuerza Bruta

 And I am working on seven others...

• #3 Read 30 more books: I continue to choose 1000 page books to read, so I'm severely behind my goal with only 7 books... 
• #7 Create (and follow) a financial plan: I looked at what I spent in 2012 and made revisions to fight into a budget while still meeting my savings goals... for now, I'm just trying not to spend ANYTHING... that's pretty hard... sigh, #FirstWorldProblems
• #10 Do the Insanity 60 day challenge: I completed Day 30 of Insanity yesterday!!!
• #16 Learn how to fly a helicopter: Lesson booked!!!  Two weeks from now, I will be flying high :)
• #18 Cook 30 more recipes: I've been cooking up a storm lately, as may be evident by the multiple food-related blog posts...
• #25 Take a writing class: Travel writing class starts next Tuesday!!
• #28 Complete the counted cross stitch piece: I haven't touched it in a few weeks, but I promise I have been working on it... need to step up my game, though...

 So a long way left to go, but, as you know, I thrive on challenges... so BRING IT ON!!!!
