Today is the Day!

First today on my agenda, I received my first real, genuine, non-solicited and non-soliciting comment! Yay! Although I must say it temporarily made me question my correctness, it is not often that I misuse my words. Here's an article:

Read it! It's about agnosticism.

Second on the agenda for today is a new plan of mine. I actually stole the idea from 43 things (see right column of my blog). I am going to try to write down something that makes me happy everyday, starting with my birthday. Here we go!

June 30th - Thomas thinking up a creative, non-destructive, and legal way to deal with the complaint from our neighbors.

July 1st - Giving a kick-ass presentation at work in front of 50+ people.

July 2nd - Odin's graduation from Foundations class and also discovering a delightful little restaurant - Papa Teddy's.

July 3rd - Getting a call from my favorite friend, Kristan! And later sending her a risque comment on Myspace.

Okay, third on my agenda, I promised that I would recap last year and set forth my goals for this upcoming year.

Recap:

I adopted Madison, Broly, and Sam. I cannot adopt any more animals at this time and reasonably care for them - adopting any more at this time would make me an animal hoarder (yes, I am spelling this out to myself for a reason). I also purchased my first home, obtained my second Associates Degree, had a miscarriage, got accepted to UCCS, found out a good childhood friend passed away from complications associated with mental illness, enrolled my daughter in several activities (swim, dance, summer school, tee-ball), and began the journey of training my dogs and volunteering at an animal rescue.

Goals:

My goals for this upcoming year are few, but the ones I have are complex. I want to make more friends, and I mean close friends, not just acquaintances. I want to step out of my comfort zone and try things I would not previously try because of fear. Lastly, I want to become a vegetarian.

That's it, as promised....have a lovely day!
