Vegas Baby!

I'm going to Vegas, baby!  It's for a work training...but still...I'm going to Vegas!  This will be my first time to go to Vegas, and I'm pretty excited.  It'll be the longest I've ever been away from Trent, but I'll be with several other mommies who will also be missing their babies, so I know I'll have support.  A group of us already have tickets to see 'The Lion King'.  Anybody have a fun Vegas memory or recommendation?

Viva, Las Vegas!

Project 52 Failure

I haven't posted about Project 52 in a while because I have majorly failed at it.  Here are the items that aren't done right now and if there's any chance I can get to them before the end of the year.


4. Save money to buy a Canon Rebel. - I will be able to buy this in January!  Yay!
5. Take a photography class. - Can't do this until I have the camera, but I should be able to do in early 2012.
6. Get back to pre-baby body (or as close to it as possible). - Utter failure.
8. Run at least 1 5K. - Utter failure.  Going to look around for what's happening in December.
11. Purge our house of excess clutter. - Not perfect at all, but I did quite a bit this fall.
12. Start Trent’s college fund. - Nope.  Not yet, but I think I can do this in December.
13. Organize photos. - Nope!
14. Finally learn to sew (lessons from mother-in-law). - Nope!
17. Volunteer. - Nope!
18. Continue learning guitar (or more like re-start). - Nope!
20. Make more dinners for our family. - Nope!
21. Create a budget. - Nope!
22. Make a will. - Nope!
23. Visit the World of Harry Potter. - Nope!
24. Go on more dates with Brent. - Not great, but I'd say we have done more together.
26. Use my crock pot at least once a month. - Nope!
27. Less bad eating! - Nope!
28. Have a guest blogger (and someone who is not an IRL friend). - Going to ask a few people.
29. Get moving again. - Nope!
30. Eat like a vegetarian for a week (or at least a weekend). - Nope!
31. Cut back on Starbucks. - Nope!
42. Do something fun for our anniversary (October 16). - We had a great time at Sea World!  HA!
47. Hang Christmas lights myself and get something for the yard (but NOT a blow-up decoration). - Brent (AKA Scrooge) says we can't afford new lights and anything in the yard.  Bah Humbug.  I'm still working on it!
50. Attend the Texas Book Festival with Allison. - Allison bailed on me, so she's paying this $5. :)
51. Go to at least 1 Aggie sporting event. - Nope!


Point of this story - some charity is going to make a lot of money off me, and I'm a total slacker.
