To the left, to the left...

Fun fact: I love me some Beyonce.

This one's a classic.


Enjoy.

List #3

I had planned on banging out these lists like no other, but truth is 101 things are a lot to think of. Especially since I want achievable things because who needs more disappointment in life? Not this girl.

So here's 21-31...

21. Visit Seattle.
22. Trade in my car for a more fuel efficient model.
23. Go swimming in a lake.
24. Learn to swim better.
25. Watch my niece for a whole weekend by myself.
26. See my brother come home safely.
27. Get a cat.
28. Visit Las Vegas.
29. Budget better.
30. Take in as many Twins games as possible.
31. Marry Joe Mauer.

Baby why don't you stay?

I have loved this song since the first time I heard it. It's just raw emotion. The video tears me up every time.

Enjoy.

List #2

11-20 of my 101 in 1001.


11. Bake/perfect a chocolate souffle.
12. Yoga on a regular basis.
13. Run a 5k.
14. Work on my fear of commitment.
15. Improve my cooking skills.
16. Reduce my debt (i.e. student loans).
17. Accept the fact that most people won't change.
18. Accept that some people can change.
19. Rock a karaoke song all by myself.
20. Smile more.

101 in 1001.

I read about this concept of making a list of 101 things/goals you want to accomplish in 1001 days. I loved it.

This seemed like the perfect amount of time to complete 101 tasks especially when I first calculated the 1001 days to be just over 9 years. (Yes, after numerous years of math classes and even calculus, I can't do simple division.) I recalculated and it is in fact 2.74 years. Okay, still do-able, I just will have to downscale my goals a bit.

So in the upcoming week(s), I'll be listing my 101 in 1001 in 9 lists of 10 and 1 list of 11.


Here's the first list of 10:

1. Move somewhere fabulous.
2. Visit a foreign country.
   
3. Visit Hawaii at least 2 more times.
4. Start Graduate or Law School.
5. Volunteer more.
   
6. Get more involved in politics.
7. Read at least one book a month.
   
8. Tattoo #2.
9. Grow my hair out.
   
10. Fall in love again.

Here's the deal...

I want something to make me feel alive.

Don't get me wrong, life is fine...I mean I can't really complain. And sure I have passions in life, but I can't help but feel something is missing.

What's it going to take to fill that void? Grad school? Moving to a new city? I'm not really sure, so I'll be on the hunt.

Boom.

Lately I've had numerous ideas/things bouncing around my head. How I'm ever going to decide what to do is beside me. One thing I do know is that I need a vacation stat. I've been stressed to the max and can feel the toll it's taking on my body. From the fatigue to the chest pains, it's no good. I need to start doing yoga right now. I should actually be yoga-ing right now instead of typing this blog post. Oh well.

Let's see, the elections sucked. The feeling was similar to having a boyfriend (that I care about) break up with me. Complete and utter heartbreak. I was pretty emotional the day after and wanted to stab people, but I resisted and am coping better these days. As terrible as it was, I still really enjoy politics and am toying with the idea of making a career out of it somehow. If that happens, I really need to find another hobby because I get pretty wrapped up and passionate about it. I guess I found a passion in my life. Score!?

My nephew should be arriving any day now whether on his own or via induction. Either way I'm excited to meet him and see my niece too. She's still ridiculously adorable and fun...except when she screams. Not so fun.

So there's a brief update...til next time.

Peace.
