30 Things recap

Well, a month has passed since my birthday and it's time to get on it. Here's my list for my 32nd year, and how it went:

  1. finish a sewing project-- No. Started one but my sewing machine was packed up for the remodel.
  2. knit a pair of gloves-- No. Again, I started, but am on my third start-over-again.
  3. complete a photo project November 30 (Vegan MoFo)
  4. make donuts July 25
  5. go snowboarding January 31
  6. run a half marathon in under 2 hours-- No. My running goals took a very different direction in August.
  7. make a painting-- No. Not even close.
  8. create a signature granola recipe-- No.
  9. learn the trail names of Tualatin Hills Nature Park-- Yes! Although I couldn't pinpoint a date.
  10. run all of Wildwood Trail November 13
  11. build a patio in the backyard-- No. I barely looked out in the garden, with the remodel crap littering the yard since April.
  12. create art for my garden-- No.
  13. run a marathon May 2
  14. repaint my sewing room-- No. But now the back wall is reinforced and rebuilt-- perfect timing!
  15. write a work (novel? graphic novel? short story?) based on a music album-- No.
  16. enter a photo contest June 7
  17. try playing the cello-- No.
  18. learn how to apply eyeshadow-- No.
  19. try new hairstyles-- Kindof. I had a week of trying, but that's about it.
  20. make (& wear) spats-- No.
  21. hike in the desert January 16
  22. go out dancing June 11
  23. watch FLCL-- No. Where the heck is the disc?!
  24. clean out my car-- No. But I did go through and test all of the lights and change three bulbs recently.
  25. sew with LEDs (wearable circuit)-- No.
  26. keep up with my book blog-- Mostly yes.
  27. write more often (frequency)-- Yes.
  28. take a photography class July 25
  29. improve my reading speed-- No.
  30. do the splits-- No.
  31. complete an olympic distance triathlon August 22

Fourteen out of 31. Not bad, considering the house remodel that started in April and has been going on ever since. Still, I need to get an earlier start this year. Which clearly I am terrible at-- already a month into my 33rd year!
