30×30 and an Update Quickie

Update: Everything went fine Friday night. It was normal girlfriend time. No green eye’d monsters or anything of that nature. As far as J is concerned, I find myself going from being fine, to angry, to hurt, and you know what? I’m allowing myself to feel all of that. For much of our relationship I’ve been the one fighting to keep things together. Lately I’ve been letting myself fall apart. I need that. I need for him to fight right now because right now I am emotionally exhausted.
Sooo, this was totally inspired by Bambam! I loved her 35×35 list so I created my 30×30 list.

As December closes and January begins we all have new promises that we make to ourselves for the next year. "I resolve to lose weight and help the needy." You know, something like that. Well, I for one don’t make resolutions, I have goals instead. Those goals go on my vision board. However, this year I decided to do something in addition to a vision board – a 30×30 list.

I will turn 30 in December of 2010, and just like everyone else I have goals that I want to reach by the time I’m 30. No, it’s not the cliche get married and have a baby (although I did accomplish one of things before 30 unexpectedly). The following list is comprised of some fun things, and some things that will make me stretch myself. One thing is for certain – I should never complain about being bored in 2010 lol. I’m posting these without explanation, although some of them are quite self explanatory. You will see me update this blog with what I’ve completed, and at that time I will explain why it was on my list in the first place.
