Welp,
It's finally over. Technically, I have three more weeks but looking at what's left, I know it's over...
Four years ago I made a list of things I wanted to accomplish. I changed the list as situations changed but overall, I'm so happy with what I did accomplish.
1. Run a 5K
Was actually a 10k because Disney sold out of the 5k registrations but still. Eventually I'll do one in person but doing it virtually was super convenient.
23. Take a cooking or baking class.
I did a sushi rolling class one night which is something I've wanted to try for a while so I am pretty excited! I will still go buy sushi all the time instead but it's cool to know how to do it!
40. Save $10 for each accomplished task and spend it on something extravagant. -- $270 to..... my savings account! Seemed like the smartest idea.
Means that at the end of this, I ended up with 3 things we couldn't do thanks to divorcing/selling the house and 10 things that I just didn't get done. Restaurant week item was cancelled thanks to Covid, we made it to California but Disneyland was closed thanks to Covid, and traveling (5 items!) isn't really happening. Oh well... maybe I'll add those to the next challenge I do. 40 Before 40 has a nice ring to it.
4. Buy a bicycle.
5. Wear a bikini to the beach, no cover up.
6. Put my toes into the Pacific Ocean.
7. Go back to Disney
8. Go to Universal Studio
9. Get a job in Higher Ed
10. See another Broadway play
11. Fit into a size 8.
12. Travel to Europe, ideally London or Rome.
13. Get another tattoo (or two).
14. Be debt free, minus student loans and mortgage.
15. Put away a 4 month emergency amount.
16. Begin working on an administrator's license or a PhD.
17. Get a nose piercing! I've been talking about it for years and finally did it as a gift to myself for my 33rd birthday!
18. Travel somewhere tropical.
19. Go camping.
20. Get family photos done with the kids.
21. Buy a NEW new car! I've never owned a brand new vehicle but after having so many issues with our last car, we decided the extra money on a brand new car (under warranty) was smarter than any other option.
22. Take the kids on a great vacation
23. Take a cooking or baking class.
24. Take a cake decorating class.
25. Go to Ireland.
26. Find a local church to belong to/Baptize Tyler.
27. Get out of the minivan.
28. Take a calligraphy class.
29. Participate in Restaurant Week in Boston or Providence.
30. Go to Disney Land.
31. Work on our kitchen: backsplash, new desk, new table...
32. Buy a jacuzzi and redo the back deck.
36. Attending the NYC Thanksgiving Day Parade
37. Create a real vegetable garden for an entire season/year.
38. Take a day after the quarantine and do my hair, brows, nails, and get a tan!
40. Save $10 for each accomplished task and spend it on something extravagant. -- $270 to..... my savings account! Seemed like the smartest idea.
