Updates!

Lots to update...

#24 - Get a Kohl's credit card
I just went to my eye exam and got some new contacts and decided to go to Kohl's afterward...I went, and I had like $100 worth of stuff (long sleeve button up shirt, t-shirt, gray khaki pants & white-plad shorts for the summer) so I decided it was finally time to apply for the Kohl's credit card so I could get 15% off. Then I "won" a 20% off coupon for their current sale, so I got to use that instead, and the lady said I could save the 15% off coupon for the credit card, so that's awesome. Seeing as how I do 90 to 99% of my clothes shopping at Kohl's, I think getting a credit card there is pretty safe.

#40 - For two weeks, drink zero pop
I started this on Tuesday, 4/27/09. It wasn't even that hard, which is surprising because I was drinking a ton of pop - at least two cans a day...usually three, sometimes four or more! Anyways, I gave myself some leniency on this one. One day near the end of it I accidentally took a few sips of some Mello Yellow at Subway with Amanda, because it was my turn to buy the pop and chips/cookies when we went there for lunch one day. But I realized it and stopped drinking it. Plus I allowed myself to drink Four and Joose energy/alcohol drinks, and energy drinks, and sour (as in vodka sours, my drink of choice for the past 2-3 weeks)...so that helped. I did it though, and I'm happy, because pop is wicked bad for you, especially the way I was drinking it.

#45 - Wake up before 7:30 a.m. at least 75 times a year (3/75)
I made this goal in the hopes that it would get me to wake up early sometimes, even when I don't need to. I'm not really sure if I'll be able to do this one though. I at least get one of these every week because I work at 8am on Fridays, but that means I gotta find a way to do that 25 or so other days a year.

#48 - Weigh 225 lbs.
I'm not shooting for this one just yet. I'm just trying to be healthier first, then I'll go for the actual weight goals. Healthiness is more important anyway, this is just a way to put a sorta relevant number on it. I don't know how much I weigh, nor do I want to until I actually set out to lose weight.

#52 - Find the perfect boxers, and buy 10 pairs of them (2/10)
I'm pretty sure I've found them. They seem to be working quite well. They're from Target, cost like $5 each. I'm going to give the first 2 some more trial time before I decide that these are the right ones. :-)

#56 - Fix 5 things with duct tape (1/5, fixed my lanyard for my work ID)
Yep...my ID card lanyard wasn't working the way it should (it's hard to explain)...so I fixed it with duct tape.

#70 - Save $x money
I don't know what my goal is for saving money yet...might be $500, might be $5,000, might be $20,000...we'll see. I've been doing pretty well at this, although there are certain things I could do to save more.

#75 - Watch 20 Twins games a year (4/20)
I'm allowing myself to count the games I watched before I officially started this list, lol. Plus I watched the game yesterday. We lost, Joe Nathan blew the save. :-(

#93 - Watch Chuck season 1 (3 discs down, 1 or 2 to go - I'm netflixing them)
This show is pretty awesome - it may have cracked my top ten favorite tv shows list, and it's one of my favorites that is still on TV. One or two discs to go.
