Halfway There...

1. Attend an Orioles, a Ravens and a Caps game.  - Once again, the only thing that may hamper this is the fact that Ravens tickets are insanely priced! - Been to all 3 this year!  Thank goodness for an employer that raffles off tickets on a regular basis!
2. Complete a Web Design course.  I'd really like to figure out Photoshop! - Planned to take this summer but vacay got in the way.  And teaching myself has been quite the arduous process...
3. Make a vegetarian meal using veggies from the Baltimore Farmer's Market.- Nope, I think I may have missed my window on this one.
4. See "An Act of God" on Broadway with Jim Parsons and "Something Rotten" with Christian Borle. - Halfway done - saw Act of God, and have plans to see Something Rotten in December when I go up for the day.
5. Shoot Manual as opposed to Auto with my camera.  - I have 2 big events this year that I'm attending, and I'd really like some AWESOME photos of these events.  I need to at least master inside, in the dark photos and outside constant motion photos. - Done!  Not really as happy with the photos I took in manual in England vs. the lovely ones I took in auto, but I'm getting there.  Thanks to Manual I was able to actually see what I was photographing at the SPN Con which was mostly in the dark, so at least there's that!
6. Try Yoga. - On the itinerary for Texas this week.
7. Watch "House of Cards" and "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" -  basically all the cool things that Netflix has in development.  Oh and "Arrow" - Gotta love Netflix! - LOVED Kimmy Schmidt but couldn't really get into House of Cards.  Haven't even tried Arrow yet but I'm loving Stephen Ammel on line so I think I really need to start.
8. Read the feminist classics - "Yes, Please" and "Bossy Pants." : ) - Complete!  And adored both, as well as "Is everyone hanging out without me?" by Mindy Kaling!
9. Tea Party with Scottish Shortbread and finger sandwiches. - Nope not yet : (
10. Attend a Music Festival - I already know I'm going to ACL so that's sort of a cheat. - ACL's this week!
11. Pig out at Smorgasburg in Brooklyn, NY. - Unfortunately, Brooklyn is a lot further away from Manhattan than I realized, but hopefully this will be accomplished in March when I have another weekend in NYC scheduled.
12. Get a manicure - this is all based on whether I can stop biting my fingernails.  That's the issue... - Done!  Even managed a pedicure too.  Not really a fan of either, but I will admit the pedicure lasted a whole lot longer than the manicure did!
13. Re-open my Etsy shop. - Nope, and I'm feeling super guilty about it...
14. Eat at Parts & Labor in Baltimore. - Nope, but I did try Family Meal
15. Visit the Smithsonian - I've only ever been to the Natural History & Air and Space Museums. - Done!
16. Puffy Tacos in San Antonio, Migas in Austin, Tea in London and Chocolate in Brussels. - Chocolate in Brussels, Tea in London, but missed the puffy tacos in SA however, I did have Migas there, so maybe it cancels itself out...
17. Day trip to Philadelphia - I've never seen the Liberty Bell. - Nope not yet
18. See a Sing-along or a Quote-along at the Alamo Drafthouse in VA. - Haven't been any good ones.  I'm patiently waiting for something really good, like a Grease -sing along!
19. See an author talk - preferably Neil Gaiman, but I doubt he'll be back in boring old Maryland any time soon. - I saw Bryan Voltaggio speak at Baltimore Book Festival.
20. Complete a charity 5K. - This will most likely not entail running.
21. Craft/Write/Create for at least 3 hours each week. - I'd say I'm pretty much accomplishing this one.  It ma not be exactly 3 hours a week but there are definite weeks that average way more than 3 so I think it averages itself out.
22. I will take a chocolate tour of Brussels - home of the world's best chocolate.- Best tour EVER!
23. I'll see at least 2 shows in NYC and London. - Act of God in NYC and another in December, Hamlet and Measure for Measure in London
24. I'll see the Alamo and resist the urge to say  "I'll remember the Alamo!" - Half way there, I totally had to make the joke.  Doesn't everyone?
25. I will drive on the M5 in England, and remember to always drive on the left. - Never had to.  Luckily my friend was way more brave than I was.  Of course that means, I can't actually cross it off my list.
26. I'll see a concert or 2 - preferably a country concert in Austin. - Darius Rucker & Mumford and Sons, and definitely at least 4 more this weekend at ACL.
27. I will see the cliffs of Dorset - where Hardy and Miller solved the Latimer case on Broadchurch. - Nope, we never made it there due to some threat of some serious rain that never came.  Ugh!
28. I will geek out at the Supernatural convention - I know this is a geeky thing but I'm so darn excited to see this in person rather than just on YouTube! - Totally the best way to spend a weekend!
29. I'll see Benedict Cumberbatch in Hamlet on the West End, and resist the urge to jump his bones. - Saw him and resisted, even though he's so dreamy.  However, not my favorite Hamlet - it has to be said.
30. I will add one day trip to the list of fun places I'm going this year.  I'd like it to be somewhere new, but there aren't many new places around here within driving distance. - Haven't managed this one yet.  I've been to Alexandria and OC, but those are the normal places.  I just need to find somewhere new!
31.  I will stand in line for Franklin BBQ - I'd like to think I have the patience, but honestly I think I'm more likely to try the Salt Lick instead. - On the agenda for this trip, but I did try the Salt Lick the last time instead and it was yummy!
32. I will hoard all the children's books from all the great cities I'll travel to.  I certainly hope my future children like to read, because they'll have quite the library when I'm done : ) - Seeing as I bought 24 books (6 of which were kids books) on the last trip to England, I feel that I'm accomplishing this one without much work.

16 and 2 halves - Complete
2 - Incompleteable 
6 - On the docket 
That just leaves 8 that I need to get moving on.  Not too shabby this year!
