In many ways I'm excited to enter a new decade, but you know all the things we say "I'm gonna do by the time I'm 30?" It's time to get 'em done! In an effort to be productive, have fun, and also alleviate some anxiety, I'm taking inspiration from a few friends and tackling my own '30 by 30' project. This blog will document my journey and hold me publicly accountable for the '30'. January 6, 2012, is right around the corner. For the next 365 days I'm gonna enjoy the ride...
Just purchased today's family Living Social Deal. 2 adult tickets to the Jewish Museum of Maryland for $8 (usually they're $8 each). They're good for any day. Not a bad deal! If you're interested the deal is still good for a few days. Since I live 2 blocks away I have no excuse not to go asap and cross it off the '30'.
We've been in a board game kick for the past couple months. Getting mad use out of my 20-year-old Deluxe Scrabble set and classic Boggle. Sometimes we break out the Yahtzee. Averaging 2-3 games per day, mostly Scrabble. I hear there's Boggle for the iPod. Too bad I don't own an iPad. So I'm still goin old school sit out on the deck and play with friends mode. Had an excellent word tandem on Friday night.
I've been slacking on the blog world, but it's a direct result of not slacking in the real world. Alas, I present you with The Paint Job (6 weeks after painting... eek!). The painting went really well!!! I picked the Behr Lilac Rose color but ended up having Lowes paint match it in Valspar. I went with a satin finish premium paint and it was awesome. 1 coat of paint (no primer) did the trick. Now, I did have some major expert paint help (thanks Shan!) so I can't say I did it all on my own but I did much of it and learned alot along the way. The pictures don't do the color justice (looks more pink than purple in the pics). 6 weeks later and I absolutely love it. I heart color. Another one crossed off the '30'. Enjoy...
