Well. That's it. I am officially half of a half century old. And that is weird. I am 25 years old. Welp. What can you do?
Now for my 25 before 25 list. I am ashamed to say that I did not complete all of these. And yes, I do know that some of them were unattainable, but others I just chickened out on. Bahhhh I'm such a dummy. I just need to work up my courage a little bit. Well, here we go...
1. Sleep until noon
Well, I tried. But my body just won't let me sleep in. It's just not fair. I think the latest I slept in was 10:30. Pathetic.
2.
FINISHED! And have two more coming up. Bahhhh I still hate running.
Did my other two races. And it was good. I am trying to keep up my running, but I hate it. But I still do it.
3.
Technically, YES! I no longer drive Walter. I do pay for Lucy, but it is much cheaper. :)
4. Jump off the high dive
I was only at a pool with a diving board ONCE this summer. Such a travesty. And I wasn't even wearing my swim suit. So I had zero opportunities for this one.
5. Kiss a total stranger
Yeah. I have no one to blame for this one but myself. I just completely chickened out. I probably could have done this every single day had I had the guts to do it. But I WILL do it.
6.
Today is my first day being soda-free. Yep. No more soda at all, not just Diet Coke.
7.
Still working on it...
8. Go skinny dipping (technically I have already done this, but it was more skinny run-into-the-water-and-run-back-out, so it needs to be on there again)
Again...zero opportunities.
9.
I did save $500 apart from my regular savings. But I'm not going on a shopping spree. I am saving it to go on a vacation. But I did go on a shopping spree after I sold Walter. $300 worth. It was lovely.
10. Participate in "Ellen's Dance Dare" and submit it to her show
Again, I am ashamed to say I did not do this. And there are no excuses for this. Sad day.
11. See Garth Brooks in concert
I hope this happens one day...
12.
GO BRAVES!
13. Make a dress that I will love to wear
I have only pulled out my sewing machine once in about 2 years. I still want to do this. A cute maxi dress. So if any of you have a cute pattern, send it my way!
14. Go to a formal event that requires me to get really dressed up
Yeah. This didn't happen. No opportunities. Maybe as the holidays come...
15. Lose 20 more pounds
I have not been on the scale for awhile, but I do know that I have lost some. On my spending spree in July, I had to buy pants a size smaller. I'm sure it wasn't 20 pounds, but it is still progress.
16.
Colorado? Check! But I do want to visit more.
I WENT TO TEXAS TOO! I did. On a business trip. I didn't see much of Texas, but I was still there. And it was bloody hot and humid.
17.
Yep. Did this too. Delicious.
18. Go an entire day without eating one single piece of candy/sweets
Yeah. I failed. I almost made it one day, and then I got called to go get sno-cones. And how could I turn that down? Again, I'll work on it.
19. Learn to waterski
Never went to a lake... :(
20.
Check! I'm a superb cook.
21.
Coolest thing of my life. So glad I did it.
22. Go on one date during every month of the summer (doesn't seem like a lot but I NEVER date)
HA!!!! Big fat failure. There was one day that I had to cancel a blind date because I got off work late. Gosh, I am the worst dater ever.
23. Make 10 blankets to donate to a children's hospital
Yeah. No excuses either. I could say that I was just too busy. And yes, I was busy. But I could have done it. I just didn't want to pay the money to buy the stuff. I'm an awful person.
24. Learn to play a song on the guitar
I kinda forgot about this one. I was pretty gung-ho about it at the beginning, but it tapered off. Hmmm.
25.
This is something that I have been working on for 25 years, and something that I will have to continuously. But at this moment, I am happy with who I am. Honestly and truly. I have really grown as a person and I like it.
*Honorary goal: make a scene in a public place
I chickened out here too. My friends and I once thought about something we could do, but it never panned out. Bummer.
Welp. Looks like I am a BIG FAT FAILURE. I think I will give myself to the end of the year to accomplish the rest of them. Except the Garth concert. That would be by miracle only. I'm still praying for it... :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!
Now validate me with comments. :)

I will give you all the completes you want because with or without that list you are a fabulous person and you know it. You don't need a list to define you and I'm glad you haven't let you. You are crazy, spontaneous, sweet, and fabulous. Keep it up and may you have another 75 years to accomplish all your goals.
No, you'd be a big fat failure if you accomplished none of these. You get at least a D, maybe even a double D, DD, and that's always something to be proud of. :)
