twenty five for twenty ten: november

so bad it almost makes me want to laugh:


1 hula hoop for 30 minutes 3 times a week
fail.

2 wardrobe purge
nope.

3 balcony overhaul
started in october.  no further progress.

4 start an etsy shop/sell something i made
done.

5 make a budget and stick to it (continue ds budget book)
no working budget, but continue to input my spending in my ds.

6 start writing a book
book?  what book?

7 make 4 things i can actually wear out of the apartment
at a stand still.

8 make two quilts (from start to finish)
i have an almost finished (2nd quilt) top, but ran out of fabric.  on hold.

9 clean out my itunes
still listening to the same things on repeat.

10 get a massage (or two!)
i got a second massage last week.  and could probably go every week and still have knots all over.

11 throw away unnecessary stuff (work boxes, closet, pantry)
i went through two boxes i brought home when i quit my job (back in march 2009!) and condensed them to one.  a start, i guess?

12 organize magazine clippings/etc. (make an inspiration board, or two!)
if i haven't looked through those clippings in a whole year, should i even bother looking through them now?

13 go to the ghibli museum
not yet.

14 go to another museum
i've been a bad museum goer.

15 go to a performance of some kind
and performance seer.

16 bike across tokyo
and biker.

17 climb mt. fuji
done.

18 travel to a new place in japan
it wasn't somewhere far, like i imagined, but it was new; i climbed mt. takao with Ro and several other people in early november.

19 travel to a new county
this one probably won't get done, seeing as i haven't taken time off work, bought any plane tickets, or even THOUGHT about traveling somewhere and there are only 4 weeks left in the year.

20 vacuum and wipe floors once a week
i vacuumed.  didn't wipe.

21 read a book once a month
i didn't open a book all month.

22 mail a letter to someone once a month
or mail a letter.

23 call home at least once a month
or call home.

24 get permanent hair removal (started in 09, finish)
my next appointment will be at the beginning of january.  i got my underarms done, with a 2 year guarantee (ending october 2011 i think), and am so far quite impressed.  now i want to get more done.

25 keep nails looking nice in an effort to quit biting my nails
this is hit or miss.  though, relatively, i've done really well this month.  but i keep seeing my coworkers cute nails and am thinking about getting gel nails again...


having said all that, i worked an extra 16 hours this month, all on saturdays and sundays.  i made and sold 8 pouches/pencil cases.  and i hosted an entire thanksgiving dinner for 7 people in my tiny apartment.  it was a really busy month, and despite the fact that next to nothing on my list got done, i actually did a lot of other things.  so much so that the month went by so fast and i can't believe it's already december.  crazy.
