Birthday Girl

yup. today is my birthday.

I am a big fan of lists. I think they really say a lot about where you are right now and what you want or want done. And so, alright, my list from last year didn't get one hundred percent accomplished, but I think I made a pretty big dent in it. Let's move on.

Here is my list for this year:

27 things to do before I turn 28

1. Take a real photography class
2. Get a tripod.
3. Learn what a light meter is and what it does.
4. Take lots of pictures
5. Back up digital pictures every month
6. Begin work on a quilt
7. Get a massage. Soon.
8. Moisturize every day. (Not getting any younger)
9. Sleep more.
10. Focus on simplicity
11. Keep up the workout routine
12. Take better care of the car
13. Maintain "use it or lose it policy" re: stuff
14. Go to Portland

My birthdays tend to be pretty low-key, and today was no exception.

Got up, got some coffee. Checked out the goods at the thrift store (no, I didn't buy that typewriter. Surprised by three bouquets of flowers and a cookie from the boy. Ran some errands and had dinner with G's folks. Scrapped a little. Watched some tv. It was a good day, if not terribly exciting. :D

Speaking of scrapping, here are some sneak peeks of the new mojo challenge coming up on the fifth. The January Sweet Spuds kit is also up for sale. Check it out here. Lots of funky bright colors to chase the winter blahs away.

Still thinking about my word for 2009.

Have a great Friday.
