Dedicated List Maker

I have decided that I am going to make a list of all of the things I want to accomplish before I am 21. My birthday is only two months away so I guess I have a lot of work to do! I absolutely love making lists, I make lists about everything. It is such an easy way to keep track of everything in my life. So here is my list of things to do before I am 21.


1. Lose some weight. This is very important to me! I have never been a super skinny person, but I did at one point in my life look rather good. I managed to go right back to my original size after having both of my daughters with no effort at all. Then about a year ago I let myself go, so now it is time to pick myself up and get to work!!

2. Start reading again. I used to be able to read huge novels in one day. I could sit for hours just reading and sipping a soda. It was probably the most peaceful time in my life.

3. Make some friends. I just moved to a new post and I have yet to make any friends. My new neighbor is kinda cool, but I want friends that I can really be myself with, as of right now I have maybe 2 friends that are like that, 1 is in Ohio and 1 is in North Carolina. So I would really like to have at least one that is in the same state as I am.

4. Go on a road trip. I'm not talking about any type of road trip, I've been on a million road trips in my lifetime. I want a no-kid, no real destination, care free, fun road trip.

5. Have a serious conversation with my husband. As easy as this may sound, I have been trying for over a year to have a serious conversation with him and it never works. He always has to crack a joke or burst into song(you would have to see it) in the middle of me talking.

6. Listen. Yet another thing that seems so easy yet it is so hard for me to do. If you've ever met me you will understand. I never stop talking, so it makes it really hard to listen (I think this one and #5 might go together).

7. Find a face wash that doesn't make me break out. I have been trying for as long as I can remember to find a face wash that doesn't make me break out, I guess I have really sensitive skin or something.

8. Find a shade of lipstick that looks good on me. I always wear clear lip gloss but I seriously would like to find some lipstick that doesn't make me look like a clown.

9. Hang curtains in my bedroom. Right now all I have are blinds, every other room in my house has curtains including my guest room, yet my own bedroom doesn't have curtains.

10. Organize. My house is so unorganized it's not even funny, I have like 4 junk drawers, which I think means I have too much junk.

11. Put my daughter in the Little Sunburst Pageant. She really wants to do it and I know she'll win ;)

12. Spend more one-on-one time with each of my daughters. I'm always with them, but they never really get one-on-one time, so I really want to do that for them.

I'll add more to this list later, Time to mow the lawn, yay me! NOT.
