four months, 22 days.

144 days.
3,456 hours.
207,360 minutes.
12,441,600 seconds.

you get it. well...that's how long i've got before i turn 21.

remember this blog?

i wrote it 1 year, 3 months, and 9 days ago. 466 days. let's have a progress report, okay? see how i'm doing thus far.


1. lose 21 pounds. although, if this only ends up being 2.1 pounds, i might be okay with that. 
damn it. i've actually gained a few pounds. so i guess in reality now i need to lose like, 27 pounds.

2. take silly photos in a photobooth with my bff Brandon the very Larsen.
brandon, what do you say??? maybe i'll do these myself. or just with tons of people. this is soooo doable.

3. go fishin'. i've never been fishing, but i've always wanted to!
i don't know any fishermen. well, i know one, but i'm not asking. it would be weird. any volunteers?

4. have a hobo roadtrip and spend a night in the Redwood Forest! check! :)
hmmm. done. i will not be divulging details. suffice it to say, i have done this one.

5. kiss a complete stranger.
i don't know any strangers. i'll work on this one, but i have a feeling it'll require some serious lady balls.

6. eat squab. i don't know what "squab" is, but i'm sooo tryin' it. they talk about it on the Food Network all the time.
i'm still planning on doing this. Handy Manny actually agreed that we can try it next time i go see him.

7. successfully complete p90x. (in the designated 90 days.)
i did p90x for 3 weeks. that's 21 days. i wanted to shoot myself in the face. but since i'm obsessed with infomercials, i found something better. it's called Turbo Fire and it's by the same company. i'll do 90 days of that instead! i'm actually starting that very thing tomorrow. just because i have this silly superstition about starting diet/exercise plans on mondays.

8. be a rebel and get a real tattoo. okay, a real henna tattoo....
i have it planned. just need to execute. it's going to be sooo cute. 

9. buy a cactus and watch that sucker grow. no way is that thing dyin' on my watch! check! :)
hells yeah! Mervin's been in my life since....i was looking for blog, but i never wrote it. Mervin here is the Break-Up cactus. he's been in my life since February, i think. we've got a good 7 months in! we've had a few close calls, but he's thriving!

10. take or be in a picture every day for an entire month. just to remember the days between.
i don't want to do this one...sigh. but i will. i'm pretty sure i've done this in various pictures for Handy Manny, but one can't be sure. the point was to facebook/blog them anyways. i'll work on it.

11. gulp. go on 21 dates...(i have a feeling i'll come to regret this one...) check! :)
i'm nearly positive i've been on at least that many dates in the past year and a half. if i haven't, oh well. not super into dating at the current time, so i'm at peace with this goal.

12. spend the summer of '11 in a far away place...working, adventuring, etc. check! :)
i spent the last four months of 2010 and the first four of 2011 in the slc area. i don't think that counts. but i'm making a big move next spring anyways, to an unknown destination, so we'll take it.

13. volunteer in a soup kitchen.
i should have done this already...shame on me. i donate to food pantries all the time.  i can have half a point. but i still want to do it.

14. find the perfect pair of jeans and buy them without batting an eyelash.
hmmm. this could be argued in either direction. i'm going to vote that i still need to find them.

15. trade in facebook for the self-realization and peace that comes through the practice of zen...this shall occur for just ONE month.
okay, okay. i need to do this. i actually don't think it'll kill me. so maybe i'll start that soon.

16. get a kit and learn how to make balloon animals.
i still want to do this. i need to do it. my mom has a kit. i'm soooo going to ask her if i can borrow it.

17. have an Oscar Meyer Weiner-mobile experience....preferably ride in it, but i'll settle for just a pic.
i actually saw it at the North Logan Wal-Mart, but i forgot to take a pic. i'll find it again, you mark my words.

18. go to the ocean and play with REAL sea stars in the tide pools! (they are my favorite animal of course!)
this should probably just be part of the Price Is Right adventure. 

19. for those of you who are cache valley natives, you'll know what i mean by saying i shall Clean The Sink by myself! check! :)
i didn't do this. and i will not be doing it. it's too much ice cream. i don't even like ice cream that much anymore....

20. ride on a San Francisco trolley while hangin' off the back and singing the Rice-A-Roni theme song....
i want to do this still. not sure when i'll ever be in SanFran, but we'll see. don't hold your breath though.

21. it is my wildest dream to be a contestant on The Price is Right!
i bet i could find tickets and be a birthday princess on the Price is Right on my very 21st birthday...i'm going to look into that! 

all in all, it's not going so good. i'll work on it. for now, i have a mexican food date with my single's ward. adios, amigos!
