At the beginning of the year, I wrote out a list of 40 things I wanted to accomplish in 2008; New years resolutions, if you will. I was looking over them a couple days ago. Half a year has passed. Let's see how I've done:
1. Bring up my GPA (um... haven't accomplished that just yet.)
2. Go to Hawaii (upon snooping in my parents e-mail a few days ago, Ally discovered reservations for a hotel in Hawaii for a family of five in August. So, CHECK.)
5. Save money and stop spending so much (refer to this post. Christian Dior. Enough said.)
8. Cook more (I have yet to cook a single meal this year...)
9. Go to the gym 2-3 times per week (haha. Yeah right.)
10. Sew something and FINISH it (I'm pretty sure I'll go my entire life without accomplishing this one)
12. Get a new black purse (CHECK. I've actually bought myself 2 new black purses so far. Refer to resolution number 5)
15. Run (refer to resolution number 9)
17. Take more pictures (CHECK. But, I guess I could always take more)
22. Road trip (CHECK. Refer to this post)
23. Have an adventure (CHECK. I went to Vegas by myself in June for a course at the Dental school. That was quite the adventure. Plus, I'm going to Guatemala in August... that will definitely be an adventure)
31. Win something (CHECK!! Refer to this post and this post. A DVD player, an iPod and a gas card. I say I've dominated this one)
33. Don't get married (CHECK. Not like it was hard though.)
35. Decorate (CHECK. Thanks to an IKEA trip in May, Heidi, Ally and I sucessfully redecorated our living room)
36. Clean out my closet (Not quite. I started to last weekend. But then my friend Tyler called and I went and got all-you-can-eat sushi with him instead. The small amount that I actually accomplished is currently laying on the floor in my room and will probably remain there for the next couple of months)
40. Take more risks (Not really. I feel like I've been really lame lately)
So, there is the list (well, most of it at least. I chose to leave out a couple resolutions...) In conclusion, it is July and I have failed to accomplish all but 8 of my 40 resolutions. Not good. On the bright side, its only July. I still have 5 more months...

I enjoy this post. Thoughts -
#2 - so much for being surprised, and also, what if your parents are taking their OTHER 3 children, hmm? You'll still have to work on that goal, then.
#9 - you think about going to the gym a few times a week. I think you should pat yourself on the back about that.
#12 - I still love how one of your goals is to complete your wardrobe with a purse in a more functional color. Like, that could just as well be on your grocery list. Nevertheless, good for you!!
#15 - You've been running at least once this year. I would consider that goal ACCOMPLISHED!!
#33 - Again, I think this really stretches the use of the term "goal" but, that's fine. I'm glad you're not married.
#36 - i am very happy you are cleaning out your closet, as I have benefited much.
