goals update

Ok, so as you know, we moved to Hawaii. This causes a bit of a problem for the goals which are Memphis specific. I'm not going to fly back just to take a picture of a water tower, right? So, because of this, I'm swapping the Memphis area items with some fresh ones. You can see them in blue below:


1 paint the dining room chairs>We didn't move any of our big items, because we shipped all of our things by parcel post, so the chairs went to the dumpster. Sadly, even if we were still in Memphis, I don't think I would have spent time on them. Turkey had chewed on every one, so they were in rough shape and not really worth sprucing up. 
Replacement goal: Learn to surf
2 refinish the dining room table> Same reason as chairs, except this one I was able to give to Gb. 
Replacement goal: Make the Wired table  
3 make chaz' wine>This is one I feel really guilty about. This sweet brother of mine, gave me a super cool wine making kit as a gift a couple Christmases ago. I was genuinely interested in it and told all of my friends/coworkers about it, but I just never got it going. I got the kit out a few times to start it, but I was intimidated by the science and precision it required and I didn't want to mess it up, so I'd put it off. By trying to avoid messing it up, I royally messed up in that when it came time to pack I decided to leave it behind. (ok, confession time... I didn't just "leave it behind" I sold it at our garage sale. Terrible right?!)
Replacement goal: Buy a new kit and actually make it!
4 finish the chain painting
5 go camping> We sold our tent :( I'm kind of bummed about it now, because it does seem like there are opportunites for camping here. Well, maybe we could borrow one? If that doesn't work...
Replacement goal: Get a haircut with bangs!
6 run a marathon (started training!)
7 skydive
8 make boxing video
9 update moodymoovies
10 travel to Europe> Now that we're closer to Asia, I have my eyes on Thailand. I guess I'll just tweak this one.
Replacement goal: Travel out of the country
11 renovate my bathroom 
12 run with turkey at least once a week (Turkey is a half marathon runner! He's been training too :)
13 learn some of the magic tricks in my kit 
14 learn handwriting analysis 
15 document mjg & rents stories 
16 geocache in 5 new states/countries (3 out of 5)
17 hide 3 geocaches 
18 get new glasses 
19 make sign for camp bow wow to paint pet portraits 
20 print grid pictures/frame > I had 9 frames that I had bought from the Target dollar spot, which I had visions of hanging in a 3x3 grid on the wall. I wanted to print 1 image and then cut it up into 9 pieces, one for each frame. I also sold these frames at the garage sale, and don't really have room for the project in our tiny place here. 
Replacement goal: Go to a luau

38 practice fushigi 
39 find out what's rattling in the trunk
40 shorten bathroom blind
41 make faceted mirror
42 say a prayer every night for 2 months 
43 take portraits of kyle's fam> Joe and Jannell's friend, Kyle, had expressed interest in having some family portraits shot. Again, I was nervous about doing it and messing it up. (This blog exercise is like therapy. I'm realizing I have issues. It's like perfectionist paralysis?)  So frustrating, because I really did want to do it.
Replacement goal: Rent or Borrow a D800
44 go to civil rights museum

Replacement goal: Jump off of the super high cliff at Maunawili Falls 
88 invite jessica to dinner> Jessica was my neighbor in the condos. We were always friendly, but never really friends even though I think we both thought we should be. I thought I would venture across the awkward barrier of "we enjoy each other's company, but we never hang out" and just invite her over for dinner. I was nervous about it though, kind of how I feel a guy and girl would be who've spent their childhoods together as friends, and then they both feel the chemistry to date when they're older, but they're nervous about acting on it, because what if the other person doesn't feel the same! Kind of like that.
