check 'em off!

alright.
major crack down.
ive only got until april 28th to finish quite a bit on this list. this may be rather difficult, since there are quite a few travel related and...well, skydiving related things to check off.
on the plus side, i have knocked out a few...
ok. honestly, i just gave up on #24. i got about 1/3 of the way thru the last twilight book, and i couldn't take it. it was just too cheesy for me. (i'll still see the movie, tho.)
#37 sort-of happened on accident. a couple friends and i decided to go to Tulalip to play bingo one night (which, yes, i know is gambling, too) but we ended up in the wrong building, and were too lazy to walk to the other building, so we stayed and played the slots. with gas and food...i broke even. 'twas a good night.
technically, i didnt do #43, but my dear father painted our house this past year. and it looks great!
finally renewed my license, #77, but now i must renew it again, as i just got married! :-)
#85 has been crossed off several times, as we have ventured to eastern washington, portland, and the coast several times.
we had a fantastic trip to Disney World, which also included The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. One of my most favoritest trips ever! technically, that was already crossed off, since we went to Disneyland again...but, still, Disney World is a whole new experience. this also counts for #12, as we rode several roller coasters. altho, i fully plan on riding faster and larger roller coasters in the future - like a nice trip to Six Flags - but for now, this is worth a cross-off.
my lovely husband got me a new iphone for christmas, so #96 is now crossed off, as i am now moving my music collection over to said iphone.

here's to the next four months!

side note on #90

i mentioned before that i was planning a trip to Disneyworld for 90.
that plan has since canceled because we have made a bigger plan to go back to europe.
buuuuuut....just yesterday we decided to continue my Disney-birthday tradition (that was just started last year, but i fully intend to have it last) and go to Disneyland...which is much cheaper.
!

yay!

#17

sad, i know - but i have a huge magazine problem.
i buy loads of them a month.
but i have finally made myself subscribe to them all.
finally.
saves a butt-load of money.

so 17 is crossed off.

#36 and #83 checked off...with a few close calls.

so my boy and i took a trip to arizona last week - and a day visit to the grand canyon, checking off #36...which is ALSO a world heritage site, lucky me - so ive got 1 out of 2 for #7.
and we planned, (bought tickets and everything) to visit six flags, which would have crossed off my #12, but, alas, the exact week we go is the first week that they start only being open on weekends...which is when we left. very mad at them. but we can use the tickets through the end of the year, so we're planning a weekend trip some time. ;-)
also...for my #32...we may have unitentionally stayed in a haunted hotel...? my boy woke me up in the middle of the night saying he saw a little girl at the foot of the bed...F-uh-REAKED me out so! ...didnt fall asleep for another 3 hours...with the light on. but i wont cross that off just yet.

then...i also finished #83 - the wii 30-day challenge. which, by the by, is not the wii fit 'game' - its this ea active 'game' that kinda kicks your ass. so we've also started another 30-day challenge on it as well.
