enJOY it

an archived personal and craft blog from Elise Blaha Cripe.

Over the weekend was my one month anniversary of being 23. Here is where I stand on my To Do List:

  1. Make a mini book about Europe : In process.
  2. Do yoga 122 times : Ouch. I am really bad at doing yoga on my own. At the house. Surrounded by distractions. So far I think I am at about 4.5 times. And I have decided that I have to bite the bullet and sign up with a yoga studio.
  3. Use a Letterpress : Classes start April 5.
  4. Abolish dry skin : I am making progress on this one. I smear stuff all over myself every night before bed and am starting to look a little less like a toad. Three cheers for that.
  5. Make business cards : Eventually.
  6. Go on outdoor walks with Paul : We have been on two. And we enjoy them. We just need the weather to cooperate.
  7. Vote for President : November. Woot.
  8. Come up with a plan for beer caps : Paul and I have a growing collection. I am going to hang them on the wall in some fashion as soon as we get a couple more colors.
  9. Throw a dinner party : Eventually.
  10. Find and use a darkroom : I had forgotten about this one…
  11. Contribute to a book : Eventually.
  12. Use at least 200 postage stamps : I think I am on number 11.
  13. Read 3 non fiction books : I have read two memoirs and 3 books about retail/business. I am going to up this number to 20.
  14. Redecorate the TV room : In process.
  15. Sign up for a flickr pro account : Done and Done.
  16. Put $2,300 into savings : I think I have saved about $300.
  17. Take inventory of greeting cards : Still need to do…and yes, this is of my personal collection.
  18. Buy Word for MacSis : Still need to do.
  19. Order Moo cards for Photo08 : I am waiting until I have 100. Only 17 more days.
  20. Knit a sweater : Oofta.
  21. Stock up on polaroid film : Done and done, although a little birdie told me Fuji is going to continue to make it for the 600 style film.
  22. Swim in the Atlantic Ocean : Someday.
  23. Document the whole damn thing : Failing miserably. But I am going to print this out.
