When I found out I got my new job with the Blue Wahoos, I was ecstatic! But then reality quickly hit me... I can't get out of my lease and I need a place to stay. After 11.5 years on my own, I had to call up my mom and ask if I could live with her. Needless to say, I didn't even have to finish asking the question before she said yes. The last time I lived at home, I was 18 and thought I knew everything. I returned home just 2.5 months shy of 30...still thinking I knew everything.
It's also really crazy to think that the last time I was at home, my little sister Alexia was five. She's basically lived her entire life without me living in the same town as her, let alone the same house. While my mom had the joy of raising me for 18 years, my sister had only lived with me in the house for 3.5 years (and probably didn't remember much since she was, you know, a toddler). Although we all struggled at times, I'm very appreciative of my mom and sister. They let me invade a space that was theirs.
So THANK YOU to my mom and sister. I really love and appreciate you for helping me out. With that said, it's time to move out of my mom's next month and return back to living on my own! #Yes

So without further ado, here are some updates on my list.
#16 - Read 500 Books! No, I'm not finished, but I had read quite a few. So far, I have read SIX books! Yes, I know... 494 to go!
Illuminae: The Illuminae Files_01
The latest book I read was "Illuminae: The Illuminae Files_01" by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff.... READ IT NOW! Yes, Amazon has it labeled under 'Teen & Young Adult Science Fiction & Dystopian Romance", but it is amazing. I loved the different way they told the story. The authors told the story through files, transcripts, etc. I loved the story and read it in three days!
Another book I read was "Yes Please" by Amy Poehler. It's her autobiography and I left like I knew her when I was done reading it. And to be 100% honest, I didn't realize there would be so much drug use talk, but I loved how raw she was talking about her emotions through her divorce, having kids and being a female in a male dominated world.
I have a few books I'm getting ready to read, but if you have any recommendations, send them my way!
#18 - Listen to 1000 songs - I've listened to 165 songs of 1000!!! WHAT??? That's awesome! I got to listen to a lot of musicians and bands beginning with A's (Abba, Aerosmith, Al Green, Aretha Franklin) and B's (BB King, Ben E King, Bing Crosby, Black Sabbath and Bob Dylan).
#21 - Watch all the Adam and Derek movies - I've watched three more movies on the list since my last update. I finally watched Top Gun (RIP Goose), Rocky Horror Picture Show (Dammit, Janet!) and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (nothing like the Disney cartoon).
#25 - Give up soda - I haven't had soda in like 3 or 4 weeks... except to try a sip of Funnel Cake Soda. Which was a mistake... why would anyone ever want to drink this? I don't know if this should be crossed off my list yet, give me another month of no soda and it should be off the list!
Ewwwww
See you all later!
