purchase soulpancake
finally!

I’ve been wanting to buy this book for years. Just never did. Until I did! And now it’s sitting in the mailroom of my school waiting for me to pick it up tomorrow. woohoo!



Touch god
Untitled

I don’t really know what this means anymore… or if god is something/someone you can touch. or if it’s possible not to be touching god, for that matter.



see a meteor shower (read all 3 entries…)
Untitled

Hmmm, I’ve actually done this a few times since posting this goal. During the last one, I saw the largest, longest tailed meteor I’ve ever seen! There are few things I can think of that I’d rather be doing than watching a meteor shower : )



create a vision board
goalscape

So, it’s not the vision board I had envisioned, but it’s just as inspirational. Goalscape.com allows you to organize your goals in a visual way that is very prioritizing and simplifying. Check it out!



plant a tree
Apples for future Cornellians

Helped the environmental club plant apple trees and raspberry bushes.



walk a tight rope
attempt one

Reeeeeeally hard. But I liked the challenge. It felt like I was just barely unable to do it. And part of it may have been distraction from embarrassment.



Learn how to farm sustainably (read all 3 entries…)
some help on the business end

Went to a Beginning Farmers Business workshop with a friend. It was not only informational but also re-inspiring to talk with people passionate about growing food.



make my own tea (read all 2 entries…)
kombucha? Yes.

Also, I’m now brewing kombucha :) Three batches in, and all is well. Brought my scoby home for Christmas break, and my family is slightly horrified.



swim in my underwear
nearly died. (slightly exaggerating)

I was doing chicken chores for a farmer who was away for Thanksgiving. Cruel as it is, Impulse struck,and I felt compelled to jump in the lake. Mind you, it was 34 degrees! I couldn’t ignore the impulse, so I stripped and jumped in (and rapidly scrambled out to defeat frostbite!). Granted, I technically shouldn’t check this off becaue I was neither swimming nor wearing underwear, but it’s close enough :)



learn to swing dance (read all 2 entries…)
tired legs, happy heart

I have so much more to learn, and I’m so excited to learn it, but after swing dancing a couple of times a week for the past four months and participating in a performance, I feel comfortable checking this off my list!

make the McCutchens kids door signs
okay, not really

We all made a sign together, so my intentions of giving them each a wood-burnt sign as a gift didn’t happen.



explore a cave
so much talk of rabies...

It was a small cave, not deep but high up so you have to climb to reach it. Definitely going there again :) This time with a flashlight



make my own tea (read all 2 entries…)
Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy (literally)

Herbal tea. Mint lemon. mmmmmm warmth.

Check!

What a great summer :)



successfully finish Couch to 5k running plan (read all 2 entries…)
meh

I’m in pretty good shape. I hate running. (for exercise, I mean). So why waste my time?



reread notes from the underground
blast from the past

It was in many ways upsetting to reread this. I remember, at the time I first read Notes From the Underground, really enjoying it and in some ways relating to the main character. Which is a very scary thought. But also encouraging to see how far I’ve come.



be drunk
so... that was fun ; )

I’m quite old to be getting drunk for the very first time. It twas quite fun though! However, I now have extremely painful blisters on my lips because, in my tipsy state, I smacked myself with a flaming marshmellow while attempting to blow it out. Shyeah… I know. I’m an idiot.



visit Larry and Monica
Branson, MO = creeeeeepy

I was so excited for our family reunion at Larry and Monica’s vacation house thingy. Family secrets that I was blissfully ignorant of were revealed. It was very bleh and uncomfortable on account of the fact that I’m not ready for civilization yet. Farm life has me spoiled. That’s all I want to say about that



complete a free hugs campaign
hmmph

This lasted all of about 10 minutes. I had two hours to kill waiting for a bus in Chicago, so I decided to do a free hugs campaign at Union Station. Mistake. No one wanted a hug, and I gave up so quick because I felt like a prostitute or something the way people were avoiding eye contact. Sad panda. Maybe I’ll try again in the future, but I’m not so sure.
