List of Twenty-Three's

Didn't quiteeee make it to the library today...whoopsadoodle! Instead, Whoof and I had a relaxing morning, read the newspaper, made some nibblets for lunch, and did all our boring grown-up business in the afternoon. 

So this last birthday, I made a "List of Twenty-Three's." I'm not sure where I first heard about this idea, but essentially, you are suppose to create a list of things you'd like to accomplish before your next birthday and the number of items on the list corresponds with the age you are turning. Seeing as my birthday was exactly 2 months ago today (August 9), I thought it might be a good idea to check in with myself and see how things have been going.

***WARNING: Items on this list may appear to be extremely inspired, narcissistic, and a handful may even be impossible given the current state of my affairs, but you're suppose to be wishful and self-doting on your birthday!
1. Go on 23 first dates (told you!).
2. Add $23,000 to savings account (the word was wishful, remember?)
3. Make 2 new boy friends and 3 new girl friends.
4. Survive 23 weeks without Facebook.

Going strong!

6. Flex my creative writing for 23 minutes each day.
7. Splurge on a $2,300 ticket to somewhere I've never been! (maybe I'll find an extra 2,300 on the ground of a parking lot?)
8. Run/jog/walk/crawl 23 miles.
9. Build on my MAC lipstick collection up to 23.
10. Frame 23 pictures.
