Half Way There...

Today, I am officially half way to 3-0.  Ugh!  As such, I figured I'd check in to see how my list of 29 things I am supposed to do this year is going...especially considering I only remember a handful of what I put on this darn thing.

1. Visit at least 3 different bars.: Not a one yet...
2. Continue to eat anything I'm offered (My friends think this is a pain but I actually love having to try things...although, the beer tastings are getting old!)
3. Stop feeling so guilty all the time for things that I have no control over.: I've decided this one is impossible!
4. Get to a Ravens, Orioles and Caps game.: I had tickets to the Caps, then they decided to Lockout.  The O's are in the playoffs for the first time in over a decade and yet I still missed all the games.  However, my birthday is right around opening day so I might be able to make it happen.  And the darn Ravens are just so expensive!
5. Shop less. Save more.: Working on it...
6. Go on a date.: Nope : (
7. Get to the Food bookstore in Manhattan.: Headed here in November
8. Take my niece on a special girls day out, just the 2 of us.: Have done this multiple times but no where really special yet.  Although she thought the Teddy Bear picnic was pretty cool.
9. Partake in a Supper Club. (Had one planned for months with 2 girlfriends but we keep missing it...): Nope
10. Learn to let the things roll off my back that I can't control.: Getting better at this but I still get pretty aggravated about certain things.
11. Create things. (I really need to use my scrapbook powers for good not evil.): Having great fun doing this!
12. Go down the Ocean, hon.
13. Read more. (I do this a lot anyway, but I need to keep up with the slew of books I buy each year.)
14. Keep up with e-mails to family and friends.
15. Meet old co-workers for drinks at least every few months.
16. Cook more: At least one good meal and one dessert a week.: I was doing really well but I've really fallen off the wagon in the last few months.
17. Learn to crochet.: Got the single stitch down, but having a ridiculously embarassing time trying to figure out how to connect them - Does that count?
18. Take Web Design classes.
19. Go red again, only this time a little more noticeably.: This is embarassing - I've just realized I haven't even had a haircut let alone a dye job in over 18 months...I'm a terrible girl!
20. Invest in a great printer to scrapbook with.: Does making a list of the top 5 count?
21. Attend at least 2 concerts and Tailgate.: One down (Bruce Springsteen), One to go
22. Become a passenger more instead of always being the driver.: Working on it
23. Explore Maryland more.
24. Take a Yoga or Pilates class.: Still trying to find a good beginner one and mostly putting it off because...I'm not sure what to wear to a yoga class : )
25. Take a cooking class.: Haven't found a good one yet, although watching my dad the chef cook probably teaches me more than any class would anyway
26. Attend the Star Spangled Sailabration on a boat.
27. Stop biting my fingernails.: I had teeny-tiny nails for like a week in the summer then something happened and I fell off the wagon.  No willpower at all!
28. Visit a museum or 2.: I visited the Kinetic Sculpture Race for the American Visionary Arts Museum so I think that counts for 1...1 down 1 to go.
29. Try authentic Indian and Thai food.: Do you have any idea how difficult it is to get picky people to accompany you to new restaurants?

So long story short, I'm pathetic!  I really need to get my act together. 

It seems it will be a jam-packed 6 months...
