101 Things Revisited

So all the way back in March a couple of friends of mine posted a sort of to do list for your life or next 5 years. One of my friends has revisited it today (though hers is specifically set up for 2008) and I thought I should do the same considering I had forgotten

Here is the beginning of my list (not in chronological order):

1. Get a kitty -- Check! Lovely Miss Sophie
   
2. Buy car with high gas mileage -- The economy has put a bit of a damper on this one, so not yet.
   
3. Have wedding (and try not to stress out in planning) -- July 25, 2009 this will be complete. Stress part - not so much.
   
4. Set up apartment with real style (not college dorm room style) -- According to my dad, still haven't done this. Once again, economy still putting a damper on this one.
   
5. Clean said apartment more often -- We have actually done this!
   
6. Keep in touch with friends from West Coast. -- Pretty much true!
   
7. Learn to speak Italian at least conversationally -- Classes here are apparently really expensive so still trying to figure this out.
   
8. Go to Italy with family - 2010 here we come!
   
9. Go to fabulous countries (Ireland, Scotland, England, France, Spain, Germany, Italy (if not above), Greece) -- We might end up in either Spain, Italy or Greece for our honeymoon... still deciding.
   
10. Get a job I truly enjoy and feel I’m good at -- I definitely like my job more than the last one!
    
11. Go skiing in the Poconos -- Still not winter but this should occur
    
12. Compromise more with Nick’s DVD selection -- Still a bad fiance - not so much.
    
13. Lose 20 pounds -- I joined the gym! That's a start!
    
14. Get to toned body for wedding -- Read above note.
    
15. Take martial arts -- Nope
    
16. Take a ballet class -- Nope, chicken
    
17. Eat more organic foods – produce and meat specifically -- Not a huge effort, we definitely eat more.
    
18. Sew a bag -- Nope
    
19. Go on a fabulous honeymoon and RELAX -- Coming soon after July 25, 2009 - Please help me decide where to go! Hawaii, Caribbean or Europe (there are lots of pros and cons to each, I'll post about it on my wedding website)
    
20. Move to Philadelphia -- CHECK
    
21. Visit West Coast -- economy again
    
22. Go to Los Angeles -- economy again
    
23. Go to Las Vegas again and stay up late -- economy again
24. Take more pictures -- still stink at this
    
25. Buy a photographer's digital camera (for artsy photos) -- economy again
26. Go to a Yankees game at old stadium -- CHECK
    
27. Go to a Yankees game at new stadium when it opens in 2009 -- hopefully
    
28. Make a scrapbook of Las Vegas trip -- economy again (scrapbooking materials are expensive!)
    
29. Make a San Francisco scrapbook --economy again
30. Read a book a month -- basically!
    
31. Learn HTML -- Nope
    
32. Volunteer somewhere -- Nope
33. Use less paper products -- A little bit
    
34. Knit a pair of socks -- Nope
35. Figure out what is wrong with my gastrointestinal tract -- Nope, in fact, it has gotten worse since I wrote this
    
36. Learn to do something to destress -- Nope

Not so terrible, definitely better than I thought I would have done considering I haven't looked at this since March. I should have put blog regularly on that list!
