I was going to add this to my 43 People list but I see that it’s being discontinued. Anyway, I’ve had a huge crush on Kenneth Branagh since I was 15 so meeting him would kick ass.
I’m giving up because I’ve decided that I would rather stay married than live in Portland. My husband does not have any interest in a move to Portland. I rather enjoy being married to him so I will compromise.
And we had a really good time. Some of us are already starting to think about how to celebrate the big 4-0. Aside from the birthday aspect of this trip, it was waonderful to spend the weekend with my oldest friends. We’re all spread out and busy with our lives (jobs, kids, spouses, etc.). I can’t think af a better group of people to spend the weekend with.
A few people changed their minds about Vegas. So we compromised; 5 of us, all friends form High School, are spending a long weekend in Mid-April near Lake Las Vegas in a 3,000 square foot house. Hanging out by the pool, drinking and eating too much and a big Saturday night on the Strip. It should be good fun. It’ll also be my first time away from the baby overnight so I am anticipating some homesick moments. It’s not very often you get to celebrate turning 30 with people you have been friends with since the very first day of high school. I am SO excited!
In general I would say attending a wedding is worth doing. Individually I think it really depends on the wedding. I have been to some weddings that I new were a mistake. That tends to make the experience less than wonderful. Most of those people were divorced withing 3 years.
Since it appears that I am going to have a daughter, not a son, I am giving up on this one. We call her Elvis. I may think about reinstating this goal in a few years if we decide to have another baby. One is good enough for now.
Still, once every 10 years is plenty. I think it helped to know that I’m not the same awkward teenage girl I was 10 years ago.
I’ve been stable for almost 5 years. The process was really hard and frustrating, there were lots of times I felt like giving up. But it was really worth it to be able to live a stable, reasonably normal life. Since I took control I have been able to get out of debt, keep a job for over 3 years and get married. I don’t feel like I am defined by my disorder any more.
There are a lot of spiders in my basement. I don’t think I want to hang out down there and that’s pretty much where I was planning to build the lair.
But I can’t seem to actually lose anymore pounds. I’m counting in inches from here on out. I’ve lost quite a few inches and built a lot of muscle – hence the lack of weight loss.
1) I have always had this goal and I have never done enything about it.
2) My brother has this goal and maybe if we kind of work on it at the same time we’ll both make some progress.
3) A few months ago the aforementioned brother told me he loves me and I felt better about life than I have in a long time. Imagine if all 4 of of my siblings said that; I would probably be the happiest person on the planet.
4) You only get one family and I don’t want to go through life disconnect from mine.
5) I do love my family members and I would like to be able to them that.
