One month in...

I bet some of you thought I'd fallen off the face of the earth, huh? Nope, not exactly. It's true, I've completely abandoned my blog in the past few weeks which is utterly ridiculous given that this whole blogging deal had only just begun. I'd love to say its because I'm so busy checking things off my list of 33 but sadly there is no such truth. I have been captured and held hostage by a website called fanfiction.com. Ever heard of it? If not, do NOT go there. It will just suck you right in. It's basically a website where people take their favorite books (Hunger Games for example) and either rewrite it in their own version or continue on where the original author left off. It's like having a favorite book that never ends. Ever. It's a dadgum soap opera is what it is. And I freaking love it! I'm seriously contemplating making my own contribution and writing a story myself. My grammar and spelling are shamefully awful (especially as the daughter of a one time English teacher) and so I haven't decided to take the plunge yet. I'll let you all know if I do though!

As for my list of 33, I haven't crossed anything else off my list. I have started plotting out when some things are going to occur though. And I did score a great deal on paddleboarding thanks to the good people of Groupon (and Jen who forwarded me the deal). Thinking about doing that in July. And I found a yoga class taught at the lake in my neighborhood that I'm also planning to take in July. Hmm, what else, what else...oh, yeah, I bought a new curling wand (clamp free) and have practiced doing my hair once or twice. That takes sooooo much patience. Especially when a quick ponytail is so much faster. Ugh! But it's on the list which means I have to do it!

On a side note, I can cross something off my life-list! I have forever (and i mean forever)wanted jury duty and never been called but low and behold the good county of Riverside has summoned me for jury duty next month! I am sooooo stinking excited and I will be soooo stinking sad if they don't pick me. I know most people despise jury duty and probably think I'm nuts. But, I've always been a people watcher and this would be an ultimate people watching experience. I'll keep you all posted on that as well.

And I hope to start crossing things off my list of 33 and blogging it very, very soon!
