After 3 months of goals...

2010-01-25T20:17:00.000-08:00

After plugging away at my list for 3 months I have a few things crossed off, with several others in progress. Here they are:

30. Own a Mac (9/2009)

I rolled to Best Buy and got approved for a credit card, and BAM...I own a Mac! I love it and probably lug it around with me too much.

55. Don't buy coffee for a month (30/30) October 25 - November 24

I did it! It helps that our banquet facility has a coffee machine close to my office. But still, not one penny spent on coffee. Take that, Starbucks!

59. Join a young professionals group/network (November 2009)

I joined...on my next list I will put "attend a Young Professionals meeting."

75. Go to a professional football game (November 14, 2009 - Vikings/Lions)

Skol, Vikings!

80. Fly in an airplane...again...its been awhile (10/17/2009)

I flew to California, which was also a new state to visit.

92. Buy a flash for my camera (1.2010)

One step closer to being an actual photographer.

101. Buy a shirt on Threadless (12.2009)

What's better than one? Two!
