For this final* report, let's look at what I did complete and what is still remaining:
Completed Items
1. Cook 10 new recipes. I did 24. Overachiever, I know! You can see all of the recipes that I made by clicking here and scrolling through the blogs.
2. Go camping. Crossed this baby off this summer at the lake with the family and the Boy from Texas.
3. Run another half marathon. I ran the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon last April with Loud Oklahoma Girl and loved it! There has been talk about doing it again next year...
4. Check 5 items off my bucket list. Done times 5. They were: give a stranger $100, visit Auschwitz, take a great trip for my 30th birthday, dancing at Billy Bob's in Ft. Worth and getting an article published in a magazine.
8. Send a little gift to my friends once a month. This was one of my very favorite list items and I hope that my amigos enjoyed it as well!
9. Eat in 10 new restaurants. I pulled off 16. Clearly food is not an area where I fail to make my goals.
13. Create a gallery wall. I did three--two at home and one at the office.

15. Go to church every day for a week. I really enjoyed this list item and think that I might incorporate it in again!
16. Visit 2 new states. Michigan and Washington are now off my list!

| College Roomie's wedding in Washington. |
17. Take Little Cowboy on a Tiff/Little Cowboy Day of Fun. We did this baby and ended up with a whole list of funny Little Cowboy quotes to share.
20. Take a day off work just because. Honey, please, I took 2 months.
21. Try a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks. Did it, drank it, felt kinda jittery, not sure what all the rage is.
22. Send money anonymously to someone at Christmas. This was my absolute favorite item. I was even able to see a post that the recipient did talking about the anonymous gift and what it meant and it just made my heart smile.
24. Finally buy a duvet. Did that and love it. Not quite as much as I loved the big fluffy white one I cuddled up in on cold nights with the window open in San Francisco, but I love it anyway.
26. Ride the tram. Did this one with Loud Oklahoma Girl right before I moved away from NM.
28. Get one of my photos printed on canvas for myself. I printed 3 and hung them in my office. Looks pretty good if I do say so myself!
29. Bring home a bouquet of flowers once a month. I do love me some fresh flowers in the house.
30. Pray a voiceless prayer. Did this at Notre Dame a couple of months ago.
Remaining items
5. Get a draft of Uncle Black Belt's book put together. I am so excited about this list item and I just have to make time to sit down and get to typing. I've enlisted some design help from ND Friend and we're going to have this baby set up in no time!
6. Do my 2011 and 2012 scrapbooks. If I'm honest, I'm not sure I am going to do this. I did one for 2010 and it was cool. But I don't know if I think it's cool enough to spend all the time doing it...plus I have my blog which kinda serves the same purpose....I'm on the fence.
7. Read 24 more books. I only got to 13. I guess I was too busy, you know, changing up my entire life and spending time with a cute boy from Texas to keep my reading up to snuff.
10. Apply to The Amazing Race. Y'all. I've got to get this done. My family votes for Cousin Swiss Mister to be my partner, but after seeing him catch the tailgate on fire and try to break a fire log over his knee, I'm less sure about that then ever!
11. Set a new 5K PR. I don't even think I ran an official 5K during the last year. I'm on this one. Seriously, this is one that will happen!
12. Listen to the New Testament on my iPod. Again, I just have to make time to do this one. And figure out how to get the files from a cd to my iPad.
14. Learn to parallel park. Well big fat fail here. Once I bought my truck, I pretty much gave up on this. I have, however, identified an expert teacher. One Tiny Dancer....
18. Work on a family tree. No excuse. Just didn't do it.
19. Take my quilts to a quilter. One quilt is at a quilter. The other is not. Stand by...
23. Take a kid trick-or-treating. I don't own a kid and was out of town for Halloween. Whatcha gonna do?
25. Read a classic. I need to apologize to my mother and The Godfather now. I have failed.
27. Host a themed cooking party. Why did I put this on here? I'm not as cool as ND Friend! Crap.
The Newest Item
31. Work out 30 days straight. I've heard of people doing this and I like the idea of a challenge. Plus, it will come in handy for me to get that dang 5K PR time checked off the list!
What would you put on your list??

Good job on your accomplishments!
"I don't own a kid" and "Why did I put this on here? Crap!" hahahaha!
You did really well and accomplished a lot!!
I think that you should amend the scrapbook one and just print out blogs from those years in book form. There has to be a way to do that.

Files from a CD to iPad? Load it to your iTunes on your laptop, then sync ipod/iphone/ipad iTunes. You can do it selectively so you don't burn up memory for things you are not going to listen to for a while.
Maybe you didn't accomplish all, but you did a really good job completing many of them!! I literally burst out laughing at the "I don't own a kid..." for the trick or treating one! HAHAHA!
You did an excellent job!
Awesome job! Wish I were this excited about turning 30, ha!
Btw, if you have the Bible app, it will "read" the Bible to you in certain translations.
DOn't do a scrapbook, go to shutterfly or one of those other websites and make a picture book!
