29 before 29 : 1 Month in

Here I am to do my first update on my 29 before 29 list. I think I plugged away at a few, and am happy with my progress so far! Just under 8 months left to complete :)


-          Spend an entire day being pampered I plan on doing this in March
-          Attend at least one festival during festival season
-          Watch an outdoor concert (these are my favourite)
-          Go to the drive in
-          Read 10 books I read the book Heaven is for Real and am currently working on Fault in our Stars.
-          Cook 1 meal totally outside my comfort zone
-          Research astrology Googled this and read up on Libra (my sign)--there is a lot to learn. I want to learn about all signs though
-          Donate 29 items to charity I cleaned out my closet and G's baby toys that we could part with---clothes alone were probably 40 things, and three moving boxes for G's toys (probably a total of 20 things that he is way too old for)...feel pretty good about that haul :)
-          Try a new fitness class I got a Goodlife membership. Now I just have to make it a routine of going. I want to take a rebounding, kettleball or spin class with a girl from work separately from the gym though.
-          Take a cooking class Found two in the area that are of interest. Another girl from work wants to come to this one with me.
-          Change my last name (I am having a hard time parting with my maiden name)
-          Visit a new city/town
-          Have my palm read Found a place that does this in the Market every Thursday for $20. So we may be able to scratch this off the same day as the cooking class!
-          Watch 10 award winning movies I haven’t seen before
-          Try 5 new restaurants Tried two--Todric's and New Edinburg Pub. Both I will go back to :)
-          Get away for a road trip/girls weekend
-          Visit a zoo
-          Make a herb garden (and keep it alive)
-          1 Act of random kindness (or more if the opportunity presents itself) At Walmart on Friday, they opened a new cash and called me over, but I grabbed a lady in line with a little girl and told them to go first, even though she had a cartful and I only had a few things. She was very appreciative (every line was like 10 people long it was so busy).
-          Learn how to skate
-          Try 2 new foods
-          Lose 10 pounds Lost 3 so far. But after this weekend, who knows until I weigh myself again. Ugh.
-          Have a wine and cheese pairing party, hosted by a sommelier
-          Find a tea that I enjoy Bought two to try : Vanilla Nut and Mint Chocolate. Haven't tried them--but it's a step in the right direction. More on this later :)
-          Learn to make 2 types of bread
-          Get all my pictures printed hardcopy and put into albums according to year
-          Overhaul/organize all rooms, closets, drawers and cupboards in my house Started doing this, but am not done without proper organizational supplies (baskets, plastic drawers/stackers, etc)--started on our master walk in, the linen closet, the laundry closet, the broom closet, the front hall closet, but none are completed.
-          Ride a horse
-          Go on a trip with Tyler We booked a trip to Dominican Republic for March :)

Life Lately

-Hosting Bearbrook Ladies night two weekends ago was wonderful! I put out a full charcuterie spread, made a mint/cranberry/grapefruit drink to share, and all of us received a tarot card reading, palm read and a facial read. Pretty much the reoccurring consensus between all three reads (it was two different people doing it) was that my heart and mind live in a state of conflict, but that it works for me to live in a state of balance. I deal mostly with logic and facts, and less with emotions; they think I would be good as an analyst (weird, since this is pretty well my role at work), and with numbers (which I also do all day at work lol). I'm stubborn and loyal and do not have a mean streak. That I am the same person at home as I am in social settings...blah blah blah. It was interesting! -Last weekend, we went out to Tyler's Disco Inferno show to celebrate our friend Jami and Donna's birthdays. We danced away (one of Keira's ECE's from daycare came out too!) and i...

random

-Garett went on his first friend play date ever , and he had so much fun. It was his two best friends that left daycare to start school last year. -happy that while Garett was at his play date, Tyler was home with Keira and I went out for a bit alone, then came home and we finished The Belko Experiment movie before I went to get him. (He was there for two hours) -sad that this week, Garett only has four days left at daycare :( Friday is Keira's first day, while I keep g home with me. Can't believe it's already almost school time!! -as a "goodbye" gift from g, we bought his daycare provider a necklace from peoples that is a heart with some Garnet stones in it (Garett's birthstone), to remember him by, and I ordered an Aukey essential oils diffuser , a doTERRA starter kit and an essential oils mixing guide recipe book thing. Hopefully she likes it. -Keira adapted SO well to putting herself down for her nap. She's down to one a day, and I just give...

Friday fun!

Thank God it's Friday, and that this week is O-V-E-R!!! -It was a stressful week at home. Looking forward to a fun weekend! -I am being audited for child care expenses in 2018--I'm not the only one that thinks we pay too much money in child care! LOL...I submitted my receipts online (they are catching up with the times and it's great!) and turns out I actually underclaimed by a few hundred dollars haha. -Tonight is calm, just hanging at home with the kids. -Saturday I have an eyelash appointment at 2:00, and then we have a sitter coming at 6:00 so we can go to a Wine & Cheese night up the road at our friends house. -Sunday is a day of rest until the evening when Shan comes over and we head into town to go to the Trailer Park Boys Christmas at the NAC (I bought Tyler and I tickets as an early Christmas gift). We are sitting pretty close, so I hope we don't get any of their nasty sweat on us lol -Monday I am off since the TPB thing only starts at 8PM, I didn...
