Thirteen Things I Hope to Accomplish This School Year

1. Get a 4.0. It’s a little late in the game, but I’d like to go out on top.

2. Read at least one book for pleasure per month.

3. Start a Bible study.

4. Organize and throw at least three dinner parties for friends.

5. Lose 15 lbs.

6. Enter a ballroom dancing competition.

7. Start and stick to a writing schedule.

8. Get a portfolio together and start submissions for publication.

9. Develop one new (good) habit each month.

10. Go on more roadtrips.

11. Plan New York trip (that’s news, huh?).

12. Become a self-proclaimed make-up artist (for myself…and friends if they choose to allow my experimentation on their faces).

13. Graduate.

    Aug 16, 2006 Author: Elizabeth | Filed under: Daily, Thinking

    I was sitting here, thinking about SYTYCD (Benji in particular), and I say to myself “I find myself strangely attracted to that toothy young man…I bet he’s a Mormon.”

  • Last night while watching something on tv I saw some fictional children behave in a way I did not find appropriate. Mentally, I referred to my own future children as my “pups.” That’s right people. Pups. I think now I cannot deny that the word “country” in its adjective form does indeed apply to me.

    Tonight Heather and I are going to see John Tucker Must Die. It’s okay. I was due to lose a few brain cells.

    Interesting Google searches that bring people to my blog: dictator names for pets and Kevin Bacon resemblance to a pig.
