An update on my existence this year: (in bold)

30 Before 30

Do stand up again. (It has been WAY too long.)

Finish writing first set of episodes for this web series I’m writing. (I have three more to finish!) Sort of... you’ll see... maybe

Call Grandma once a week. (So far so good!) Nope, I’m awful.

Save money to go to the Philippines next year. (I’d rather be in a bathing suit than a coat.) Bet your bottom dollar... that I’m still broke. But definitely going!

Film one episode of the web series. (Slow and steady, right?) The slightest progress.

This one is about poetry. Nahhhhhhh

Release podcast with dudes. (I’ve been working on a podcast with a couple of dudes, and it’s about people. Maybe one day we will let people hear it.) I think we all got a little too real too quick, so I don’t anyone will hear it.

Release podcast about dudes. (This is one I’ve been toying with, and it’s about dudes, but not specifically the dudes from #7.) Unfortunately, I had to part with this idea. Kind of breaks my heart, but hey, you win some, you lose some.

Go to a workout class once a week. (I got a gym membership that has a plus one, because I don’t like to do things alone. Yes, I did have to pay extra.) LOLOLOL Once I realized a season’s pass to Busch Gardens was the same price monthly, I canceled my gym membership. I also had stopped going three month earlier.

This one is about writing. I don’t even remember what this was.

Learn to swim. (Everyone says they’ll teach me. Everyone lies.) Still drowning.

Do the Whole 30 or Primal Diet. (Honestly, I’d be down to do any diet. I love fad diets.) I’m the laziest, but I did start meal planning... yesterday.

This one is about physical health. My insurance sucks.

This one is about mental health. My insurance sucks.

This one is about doing stuff on stage.

Cook a duck. (I’ve read that by age 30, every woman should know her favorite wine. I want to know my favorite meat.)

Start a retirement fund. Oops

Stick to my budget. (This is very hard, since I just discovered Milk Makeup.) Oops

Record videos with Lina. (I love how dark our conversations get. Even when we talk about how we’ll die, I’m laughing.) I barely see her now! Lina, if you see this, what d’ya say!?

Spend a month not spending – except for groceries and bills, duh. I got so close this month... but then I wanted ice cream.

Blog more. (Lol, okay.) eh.

Sew one outfit, including underwear. I moved recently, and it’s been tough figuring out how to use the space, which ultimately makes me not want to do things that require a lot of stuff (like sewing). I don’t have a good desk area, which is a little maddening considering also work mainly from home.

Take a good couples photo. (Our best picture is a picture of us walking, from behind.) We took some pics in a photo booth in Chicago, and our faces are visible.

See a play. Nope, who wants to go?

This one is about vanity. No clue what this was.

Figure out a skincare routine. (If I could just remember to take off my mascara at night, that would be a great start.) The only thing I’ve learned about my face this year, is that I have more spots to wax.

Go fishing. SOMEONE TAKE ME FISHING.

Visit NY and DC. (I miss my friends!)

Go on a trip with Jonathan. (I read him one through twenty-eight, and he said he wanted to be included in some. I hope this ends up being a cruise.) We went to Chicago for his sister’s wedding! We also went to Baltimore for a comedy festival, but Chicago was waaaaaaaay better.

Play one song on the violin as well as I used to play. (No more stiletto nails, ever. I should probably buy some earplugs for my roommates. I’m a bit rusty.) I just sharpened my nails the other day. Oh well.

If I cross off two of these, I’ll call it a win. I’m taking the W.

How many times did I cry last night?

Twice.

The first time was while watching President Obama’s Farewell Address. I genuinely believe our president is a good person, and I’m terrified of what is coming next.

The second time was while watching This Is Us. I was reminded of the moments I heard my granddad say he was tired of fighting, when the conversation changed from making him less sick to making him more comfortable.

I was trying to figure out a way to end this post with something eloquent or thoughtful. But all I keep coming back to is being grateful that I don’t (usually) get ugly cry face.

I’m turning almost thirty.

In one week I’ll be turning twenty-nine. Since I’m feeling this age thing, I decided to do a “30 Before 30.” I did a couple in my mid-twenties, and by ‘did,’ I mean I wrote about them and actually completed only a few. So here we go again, because if not now, when? Eventually I’ll be dead and won't be able to post anything. Some of these have been on past lists, because Aaliyah said, “If at first you don’t succeed, dust yourself off and try again.” We share a birthday.

I bought a sparkly dress yesterday. I plan to wear it and eat ice cream sometime next week. So clearly, this isn’t the month I do number 20.
