well I have 13 more days to go on this to do list http://tdot.vox.com/library/post/to-dos.html
I have completed half of the list! I think thats pretty good, maybe ill even get a few more in before its over ;)
its weird that its almost been a whole year since i made that list... crazy!
well I started a to-do list in march and so far its gone pretty well. I've given myself until next march to complete the list and so far I've completed (or come close enough) 21 out of 50. I mean thats not bad, its almost half and i still have 5 months to go! and some of the things I know I'm going to be completeing in the new year, so go me! Making goals for yourself, even if they are small and dont seem important, it really helps. Every time that I've been able to go and cross somthing off my list even if it was just somthing kind of meaningless, it made me feel very acomplished.
So I've decided to do a ten year goal list, I'll be 20 in december so I'm giving myself until my 30th birthday to complete the whole things. Some of it is small stupid little things, and some of it are things that are really important to me. here it is!

Well i have crossed 13. 15. and 44. off of my to do list. I went to victoria on saturday with Melissa and saw my friend Erin! i hav'nt seen her in about a year and a half so it was awesome to see her, i miss all my friends from cosmetology school so much! i should to vic more often its only two hours away. We also went to old navy while we were there, i love that store. I bought a cute summer bag and a shirt for Travis, i wish i could have got more. Also off my to do list, i finally cleaned my car and stopped bitting my nails! yay me. alot of other ones are going good too and still in progress.
Me and Trav are going to get puppy stuff on saturday! im soo excitedd, I'll trick him into getting some really cute stuff, maybe even a little shirt heh.
Im back to tanning, its adicting.. and so expensive. but maybe this summer i wont burn to a crisp!

OH! and one more win and were in! fuck yah go nucks we love youuu La La La Luongo!!
lost is onnn
I am soooo tired! i had the boys all day today. It was a nice day so after i picked them up from school we had lunch then went to the park. Even by then i wanted to fall asleep on a bench haha. Ive been working on my To Do list and waking up before 9 every day is on it, im actually doing good! ive been up before 9 every day the past two weeks! but im not used to it, and im getting really tired. The good thing is, im always ready for bed and i sleep wayyy better.
Today some lady left a note on my car saying "i hardly got into the last spot, please park more careful next time!" i was like PSHT i was in the parking spot FINE maybe a little close to the line, but im a good parker haha. I was very very angry, stupid people.
Anyways, im a loser and hang out with a six and three year old alot, but i love them and they are way too cute. soo.. picutures heh and pictures of the new bun buns!
Another nice day out! work was blah today, slow slow slow. oh well , i really need another job if me and Travis are going to be able to have our own place again ever. I always say im going to go apply for work and then things always come up and i never get around to it. yah i know thats called procrastination , im bad for that. its time to start doing things as soon as i say im going to do them, not two , three , four weeks later.
its Travis's 21st birthday on monday! im taking him out for dinner and then were going to the bar with everyone on friday. i still dont have anything for him! ah i know thats soo bad, i really have no idea what to get him.
