#61.) I finally had a day to just go through everything and get rid of junk junk. I did not realize how much of a hoarder I was. I had every phone bill statement I have ever had along with a ton of little knick knacks that are completely useless. I got rid of a good amount of clothes that I will donate to good will. I still have a few shirts that I was iffy on. I do not wear them butt cannot bring myself to get rid of them. Maybe on my next list on my second run of clearing out my room.

#57.) I did not exactly join a gym butt I did start an exercise program which equals out to the same thing in my head. I have just completed my 60th day of P90X

#58.) By completing my 60th day in P90X, that is sticking with an exercise routine for 2 months which scratches off number 58.

I have my day 60 photo butt I already had this image cropped up and didn't feel like adding another picture. Plus day 60 does not differ much from day 45 except for the fact that my hair is

a little longer.

Here is me after my day 90. I was really excited to finish the 90 days so I took this photo right after a workout which is why I am all red. I really am not cut out like the commercial photos because I did not follow the diet plan. I just love food way too much. And by food I mean bad fatty food.

#62.) When I made this list, my mom was still living in NY so my idea was to send her something nice in the mail. Now that she lives in NC with me, I did not have to send it very far. I saw a small pin that says "bikers for boobs" which may seem inappropriate as a gift for mom butt it happens to be quite the opposite. She rides motorcycles and is all about showing support for people who have breast cancer or know somebody else who does. It is a jazzy little pin for her to put onto her biker vest.

#47.) For Kenneth Kohler's wedding, him and his now wife were generous enough to have us buy an outfit that we could wear always rather than renting a tux. This last outfit assisted my goal at number 47 which was to improve my wardrobe to become more professional. What I really meant by this was that I would have 5 combinations of ties, nice dress shirts, and slacks to complete a business week and not repeat outfits.

#59.) On the way up to Kenny's wedding, I finally hit a toll booth. I was nervous about this one because I rarely cross through toll booths anymore. I slowed down to make sure that I could see somebody filling in the spot behind me. I was considering paying for the car behind me without them being in sight so they wouldn't know it was me. Had I done that, I could have completed another goal in doing something nice for somebody without them knowing. However, I do not know how trust worthy a toll booth employee would be so I wouldn't even find out if I did something nice or created some theft.

So the dude that pulls up next to me just so happens to be a very scary looking black dude. I am not implying that all black people are scary or that he was scary because he was black. I am simply saying that this guys was a black man and had a very scary face. Butt since I did not want to blow my chance, I paid $2.50 for myself and requested to pay for the car behind me. I slowed down a bit leaving the booth to make sure the lady didn't pocket the money.

Now there were 2 scenarios I would have liked from this:

1. I pay for the person behind me and they 'pay it forward' and pay for the car behind them and so on.
2. I pay for the car behind me and they feel good about the day and drive past me with a smile and wave.
   
   

Neither of these two happened as the dude lurked behind me for a while and then sped past me. So I am still counting this as done with results that I was not expecting.

#52.) Laura Hoyle just moved in with a friend who had an extra bed. He wanted it gone and I have been sleeping on an air mattress for about 5 months. $75 got me an almost brand new queen size mattress. This is an upgrade from my air mattress and from my previous queen size that I removed from a dumpster a few years back. The springs were terrible and my body ached every morning from that bed. This new one is firm and beautiful.

#93.) On the way to Kenny's wedding, I stopped by Washington D.C. to visit a friend with Laura. It was an okay city with ridiculous roads that create more traffic than there needs to be. I did not get to see the monuments up close butt I got the general idea. Hit up some bar that night as well and I was not impressed. It was a sports bar that had people clubbing and dancing all over the place. I was very confused by that. First thing I saw was some dude standing on a bench dancing to Ke$ha which made me sad. No rush to head back to D.C.

#31.) I was browsing through the ole Lollapalooza lineup for this year and came across a group by the name of MyNameIsJohnMichael. Apparently the dude who got this group together has the first and middle names of John Michael so that name is not too creative. However, the name caught my eye because my uncle's name is John Michael Hamilton. So I decided to check em on out and thought they were pretty descent. They sound a little like bright eyes with more life to the music.

My three musical artists/groups that I checked out and liked on my own:

• Regina Spektor
• Band of Horses
• MyNameIsJohnMichael

#35.) I was up in PA last weekend to pick Kohler up for his bachelor party and then chilled that Sunday for a Jack & Jill bridal shower thingy also in PA. In doing this, I have visited a friend in another state besides NY or NC.

#87.) So for mother's day this year I really wanted to get my mom a nice professional studio photo of my sisters and I. What I had in mind was for us to get semi-dressed up and smile nice. Mother wanted nothing of the sort and said she wanted us to look how she remembers us which is not all posed and formal.....which is awesome and why I love my mommy. So we tried taking some crazy photos butt this photographer was a little square. (I would just like to note that I have never referred to somebody as "square" butt it sounds kinda funny so I might start using that-or L7 weeny) He told us that he was the one doing these shots because he can be creative and very informal and that he is crazy. Right away he had us posed in a typical KMart family photo session. We made some fun out of it and have some pretty descent pictures though.

Here is a sample from some of the ridiculousness:

#85.) About an hour ago my old computer monitor sold for $28 big ones. I am still kinda unsure how this whole shipping thing works butt I put it at $19.95. I am hoping it doesn't cost that much at all because I will have made a little more money on the monitor. Hopefully this all runs smooth cuz I have a butt load of other stuff that I wouldn't mind selling.

#14.) Had a home cooked meal over at mi padres new place which makes for meal numero 5. I am sure that I will have some more meals/visits here and there butt I wanted to atleast get in a certain number.

I have been at this list for well over a year now and I do not think my progress has been too bad at all. I always look at opportunity to complete another thing on this list and having it always on my mind has helped me out with some decisions and has led me to be productive in areas I normally would pass over. Throughout this last year there have been some changes in my life where some of the things on this list are goals I no longer wish to achieve. Mainly I have parted ways from Lazyday.com and in that I have lost interest in pursuing any type of career in graphic design work. At the time, I owned my own graphics company (See Eye Graphics) and was able to keep a steady clientèle through the nightlife industry with club flyers and such. Anything past that I have come to realize is something I hate doing. I hate having to force creativity...I hate listening to other peoples' shitty ideas...and I hate constantly having to learn new techniques about a hobby I lost interest in. With those thoughts in mind, I will be taking a mulligan or two or three from my list and scratch them off with an asterisk.

#27.) *I no longer wish to learn Adobe Flash

#38.) *I no longer wish to do graphics work for 5 people that I do not know

#39.) *I no longer wish to submit and win a contest on 99designs.com

#5.) Just got back from getting my teef all cleaned up. I know you are supposed to go twice a year so I kinda find it strange that I only put to go 3 times within almost 3 years. However, up until I made the list, I couldn't even remember the last time I got them cleaned.

#14.) Also grabbed a little supper with Poppa dukes at Ruby Tuesday

#36.) I have been home no less than an hour from Las Vegas. Honestly I might have been there too long. Eventually everything blends into the same thing and you have seen it all. I am glad I stayed a few extra days because it worked out where after drew left, my bestest buddy in the whole wide world showed up and chilled for a night.

#93.) Las Vegas is a big U.S. city that I just visited. At least 2 more to go.

#41.) While in the airport and waiting in a Vegas buffet for 7 hours I was able to finish the last two of my grandfather's books that I have not read yet:

1. With Camera and Cane
2. To the Four Corners

#69.) After being a devoted 311 fan since maybe 96', I finally made it out to a 311 Day! It did make me realize why people into Star Wars love going to those crazy conventions. Just rocking a 311 shirt there and every fan would call it out and unite.

I will be honest and say I was semi-disappointed. 311 did the same concert they would have done had they been playing any other show except this one was over 5 hours long. There were a few circus-like acts during breaks butt nothing exciting on the stage. Nick did his usual and now too repetitive 3 questions asking the fans 'how they are doing out there' every 4 songs or so. There wasn't even any confetti at the end which pissed me off. The set list was pretty solid butt nothing over the top-one song from Omaha Sessions and that was about the only surprise. Nick's opening was that they had a lot of surprises in store for us. It did surprise me the fact that it was the same show they have been playing since 97' with a few more songs. Maybe they will catch a buzz about the let down here and step it up in 2012.

#1.) It is crazy that it took me this long to accomplish my number one.....This took me about a month of running to finally get to 5 miles. I did it in under 50 minutes which is crazy because as of late I have been running 10 minute miles so my pace was awesome. The weather is finally warming up and I finally have running shoes so that all made it a lot easier. I smell like trash right now so I need to get myself into this shower.

#31.) I have a guilty pleasure watching "my life as liz". She sang a song in a talent show by "Band of Horses" that I enjoyed.

#16.) Just finished up donating my blood. Apparently I have huge veins and I bleed very fast. Or I am just good at everything.

I also found out that I am type O+ blood- I can donate to anybody with a positive blood type and I can receive from anybody with O+ or O-.

O+ Is one of the most common so I shouldn't ever die.

#9.) I have to give myself a slight mulligan here. When I put together this list, I was working for a company in which I was out at bars and clubs almost every night. Liquor and beer was a constant flow especially living only blocks away from all of these drunk filled establishments. Every year I liked taking a month off from drinking. Usually I would pick February since it is the shortest month.

Since I do not work for them anymore and have moved to the other side of Wilmington, I very rarely drink anything. I might have a beer a month and honestly cannot remember the last time I was even drunk.

My goal with this was to slow my drinking down and in essence I have done just that. So I shall scratch this from my list as an accomplished goal.

#41.) Finished reading up one of my grandfather's books. 'Tales of an Octogenarian' has some great stories from his 80th year in life. I happen to be included which is pretty sick. There is a short story on my graduation form UNCW. There was a story about how he needed to visit my grandma while she was in the hospital butt the nurses only allowed one guest at a time. He explains how he snuck in and then fussed about finding her purse realizing that if he was complaining about something missing, they wouldn't kick him out even though there was another visitor. It is just funny that at 80, he is still hustling.

The five I have read so far:

1. The Chinese Walking Stick
2. Lazarus: From Seven to Seventy-Seven
3. The Edge at Beach Head
4. Tales of an Octogenarian
5. The Purse in the Muff

#43.) Just finished reading my 3rd out of 3rd motivational book. It is entitled "Strengths Finder 2.0" and focuses on having somebody focus their mind onto their strengths to improve on those talents instead of attempting to create a talent. I am terrible at selling butt great at numbers and organization so I should focus my energy into a field where those are the main characteristics you need.

During reading this book, I am honestly considering getting some extra schooling and pursuing a career in the accounting and finance field. I would say this book motivated me quite a bit.

My 3 motivational books were:

1. Think and Grow Rich
2. Real Estate Investing in your 20's
3. Strengths Finder 2.0
   
   
   

#31.) As for some music, I have been playing through Pandora pretty intensely. I think that will be the only way I find any music on my own because I do not really read about the bands I like and I do not talk music with any friends. My first pick for music that I found on my own is:

-Regina Spektor

She has such a relaxing tone and reminds me of Feist who had that happy song on one of the IPod commercials a while back.

#23.) I have actually already scratched this one off butt I remade my Excel document to be more efficient both visually and operationally. It took me a few hours butt my Excel finance document is sick. I have data bars on each column so I can see where I spend the most in each category. I have icons that tell me if I am over my budget in a certain category. I have nice looking tables that total up each category plus add to the totals of the month. It looks real jazzy and I am considering replugging in my data from the past few years. I think Ima have to be real bored to do that though.

#70.) Taylor had a 1920's themed birthday party the other night so I was able to dress up in a costume on a day other than Halloween. I really wanted to dress up in one of those old fashioned 1920's one piece bathing suits that the dudes used to wear; maybe throwing on a thick mustache. I think for putting my costume together in one night, it came out pretty jazzy.

#42.) With that last read, I finished 4 for 4 information books:

1. How to Win Friends and Influence People
2. The Art of the Short Sale
3. Loopholes of the Rich
4. How to Make Millions with your Ideas

#42.) Finished up another information book. It was a book I found in the self help section of Barnes and Nobles so you may thing it is more of a motivational book butt it is entitled "How To Win Friends and Influence People". Since it is a 'how to' book, I put it into the information book category.

I would have to recommend this book to anybody. It teaches you how to respond to any situation whether you are a professional trying to improve your leadership skills or trying to get your kid's grades to improve. It is definitely a book I will read through a second time. As I read it, I felt invincible; like nothing could stop me from getting my way.

#12.) While I had the hard drive backing up my files, I also decided to add my photos from Lazyday onto it. I had previously saved all my photos up to the end of 2008 on a c.d. and since I quit early in the year of 2009, I did not have many more photos of myself on the website.

Photos of myself from 2005 through 2009 are now saved...1,154 of them

I figured I could cross this one off now because I will rarely be on Lazyday anymore since I hardly go out. It is funny skimming through them because in a sense, I had part of my youth documented. I was out 5 nights a week hanging out with friends. I had a good run with it and it will all be missed butt I love being able to look back on it and I am ready to move on from it.

#11.) A few days before Christmas of 2009, my computer crashed. I even took it to a few places and they gave me quotes in the $100's to fix it. I even had one guy tell me that I would lose all of my files and that there was no way around it! This angered me due to the fact that a few months earlier, my other computer crashed. I have been meaning to get myself an external harddrive for the longest time butt never gathered up the cash to put down for one. Two computer crashes later, I finally get one from my mother on Christmas. LAAAA!!!!

A week or two earlier, I was telling my mom how my computer crashed and I had no files left not knowing her gift to me. Luckily Ash's friend's boyfriend knew a thing or two about computers and gave it a quick one two and restored 90% of my files. He also gave me some upgrades which is good.

Finally! My computer is back up and running and is connected to an external hard drive that will back up my files at 10pm everyday. I also took all my cds from over the years and put them all onto the hard drive as well as the files from my lap top. I have 1TB of space and do not think I can ever fill that which is good. Now I need to make sure my house does not catch on fire.
