9/4 Update

Well, baseball season is almost over, so that means I get to go back to a normal schedule. Getting back to a normal schedule also means more time to work on my 39 things in my 30s. One of things I really want to concentrate on is reading the 500 books. So far, I'm up to 23 completed (I also forgot to update since May so I could be missing a few books).

If you want to see the list of books I'm reading, or have read, you can check out this list. As you can see, I also forget to mark dates. If I remember books I've read this summer, I will put them on there.

If you have any recommendations, please send them my way!

By the end of 2016, I would realistically like to get to 50 books. I would also like to accomplish a few other items on my list such as getting my passport and finally figuring out how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop. Every time I try, I always take a BITE!

I also want to get back to studying Spanish. Maybe I can buy a book on Spanish! I can work on two things at a time (work easier not harder).

Well, it's time to continue reading The Bassoon King by Rainn Wilson. (Pretty interesting story so far)

#33 Done!

I haven't updated the blog in a while, but I did get to accomplish another thing on my bucket list!

On Tuesday, February 9, 2016 at 6 p.m. (ish) I was able to get my second tattoo!

Yup! That's right, I got an arrow on my middle finger! So you might be asking, why an arrow tattoo? Well, my dad had a small part of Native American in him (according to my grandma, we're related to an Indian Warrior Princess). So when I look down at my finger, I get to think of my dad.

The arrow also symbolizes my time spent at Florida State. Florida State's symbol is the Seminoles! I got my Bachelor's and Master's degree from Florida State and worked there from the time I was 18 until I was 29. I'm very thankful for the time I spent at Florida State and I'm very proud to show off something that was a major part of my life and to give me so many opportunities.

Also, an update on #30 on my list (making 30 new recipes). I finally tried a new recipe! I made Slow-Cooker Cilantro-Lime Chicken this week because I started the AdveCare 24 Day Challenge on Monday. This is what I made for the week to bring to lunch and it is Ahhhhh-MAAAAY-zing! It was so juicy. One recipe down, 29 more new ones to go!

Maybe I'll go get my passport next! Mark another thing off my list!
