Well, with me being too lazy to post a blog for this long, there's understandably lots to update! I've been keeping up on working towards completing my goals, I just keep putting off posting them on the blog. :-\ Anyway, here goes...
5. Play tennis once a year
8. Ride my bike to school or work 15 times
10. Take Neilly for a walk 20 times a year
19. Buy those elusive marker pens I love from work
45. Wake up before 7:30 a.m. at least 75 times a year
52. Find the perfect boxers, and buy 10 pairs of them
59. Get 10 new shot glasses
68. Read 6 books
75. Watch 20 Twins games a year
82. Go on a vacation out of the state
85. Go to a Twins in a state other than Minnesota
91. Get at least 360 new songs
97. Watch every Matrix movie
5. Play tennis once a year
Amanda and I went to play tennis at AR...we brought Neilly, it was fun and some good exercise on a hot day.
8. Ride my bike to school or work 15 times (1/15)
My car broke down, and the only way I could work was to bike there, so I dropped my car off at the shop and biked to work at 7:45 a.m.
10. Take Neilly for a walk 20 times a year (1/20)
I finally got Neilly out for a walk - after biking back home I walked her to the auto shop to pick up my car.
19. Buy those elusive marker pens I love from work
Amanda had a keen eye in Target in Kansas City and noticed they had the pens I love, so I bought 4 of the black ones.
45. Wake up before 7:30 a.m. at least 75 times a year (10/75)
Honestly I'm guessing that I've done this 7 times since my last post. I do this every Friday when I work, plus I did it once on our trip cuz I had a headache and couldn't get back to sleep all that well (well, I was in bed, but I was awake, and that totally counts). Anyway, I have a feeling that I'll be changing this goal because I don't like it anymore.
52. Find the perfect boxers, and buy 10 pairs of them (6/10)
I've found them, and I now own 6 of them. They're awesome.
59. Get 10 new shot glasses (1/10)
I bought a Kansas City shot glass from a souveneir shop at the city market place we went to.
68. Read 6 books (2/6)
I've been itching to watch all the Harry Potter movies because of the new one coming out, so I decided to dig up my Harry Potter books for the trip to KC - I read the first two and I'm about halfway through the third one now. I think I'm going to Netflix the movies as I read through the books, or maybe just buy the DVDs...I just have to get my hands on the last two books which I haven't read yet.
75. Watch 20 Twins games a year (6/20)
I saw one game in person in KC and one game on TV in the hotel in KC with Amanda and Taylor.
82. Go on a vacation out of the state
This vacation to Kansas City was sooooo needed, and I had a blast. The driving sucked (though it wasn't all that bad really), but it was great just having a few days to relax and get away from work and home and everything.
85. Go to a Twins in a state other than Minnesota
We saw the Twins play in KC. Their stadium was awesome. Seeing a game outside like it's supposed to be makes me really eager to see the Twins in our new stadium next year.
91. Get at least 360 new songs (86/360)
I got a bunch of free song download cards, and I got 68 new songs - something I needed desperately. Some of the new music includes: Taylor Swift (for Amanda), Kings of Leon, Modest Mouse, Incubus, and Keith Urban. All this new music has me craving more...there's a good 75 or 100 more songs I want to get now, but I'll probably put off because I don't want to spend the money on them and I don't want to illegally download songs.
97. Watch every Matrix movie
A few weeks ago or so, I was at Target and saw that they had a $10 DVD set for all the Matrix movies, so I bought it and watched all of them. I remember when I first saw them I was disappointed by the second and third movies because the first one was so good. On the second time around, my opinion didn't change - the first one was the best, but the second and third weren't as bad as I thought.

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.
