Things to do....

I have a list of things I NEED to do and things I WANT to do. Both lists will be completed by the end of the year..I'm determined!

NEED TO DO'S:
1. Get the rest of the my crafty business sent to me
2. Get my purses sent to me (I need to change my purse selection up!)
3. Pay off the last of my bills-I realize this should be numero uno, but a girl has priorities
4. Make fall decorations-Even if they are not done and ready for this fall season (Halloween especially), they will be ready for next fall, which will be FABULOUS. I have so many ideas and what seems like not enough time (or products), but that will soon change. I would share my fabulous ideas, but they seem to be stolen most times, so I will share photos AFTER I complete them.
5. Begin making Christmas gifts. Again, I have so many ideas, and I love making stuff for people. Most of my family will have home made gifts, but not cheesy "I glued Macaroni noodles to a plate and wrote my name on it" (No offense to all those parents who love their 5 year old's art projects), I just craft a little different than that. :)
6. Make Christmas CARDS...I WILL be sending cards to all family and friends (especially those back home) and will even be doing one of those cute couple pictures of Alex and I. He just doesn't know it yet. Haha.
7. Get new and improved recipes to try and ENJOY.
8. Put above mentioned recipes in awesomely created recipe book (by me of course!)
9. Make Alex's military scrapbooks. Yes, I'm corny, but I want him to have something visibly seen to remind him of all the people in his platoon and what not. Besides, a lot of his friends here are the only people I can get Iraq pictures from because all his got destroyed when his hard drive crashed.
10. Go to the beach and get tan. I have been here for 9 months now and am still Utah pasty white. My mission is to see the beach more often (I live 15-20 minutes away, I should be there more often!) and actually get some sun. I must be somewhat tan before I leave this island...What other good does this place do me?

WANT TO DO'S:
1. Flip off a fellow motor vehicle driver. I've been extremely nervous to do this out here because white people aren't all that liked. I have a very big fear (which began in Utah, no less) about pissing off the wrong people and being shot at. Yes, it's somewhat irrational, but I'm sure it happens SOMEWHERE. People don't know how to drive out here and more times than not, I've wanted to give them a piece of my mind...uh ummm..finger.
2. Update my blog more. Yes, I slack!
3. While updating my blog, I would really like to start adding all the amazing blogs I've recently been following...or maybe become a follower.
4. Buy (or receive from someone very generous!) a Cricut, Big Shot, or Silhouette machine. I'm nuts, I know.
5. Purchase movies and TV series. Back home I used to buy every new movie release (within reason) and at one time, actually had some TV series on DVD (that have since disappeared), so I would LOVE to increase my selection.
6. Learn how to play the drums like Travis Barker. I do realize I gave myself only until the end of the year, but I think I can almost accomplish it. :)
7. Read more books. I read a lot as it is, but I need some epic stories!
8. Lose 10 pounds. This will be done by the end of the year. I know 10 pounds isn't A LOT, but I wanted to start low. I hate giving myself an impossible to reach goal and feeling disappointed in the end.
9. Watch TV-Dome like a crack fiend...Get caught up on all shows that might interest me. Yes, even stupid ones.
10. Completely cut out soda. It doesn't do me any good, and I don't feel it's healthy.

So there is my basic NEEDS and WANTS lists. I'm absolutely confident in myself to finish all 20 items I have listed. If not, a few more.

I'm off to blog stalk and cuddle with my love. Night all!
