#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.
