Update--Item #4

GTFOH...so I get an email today saying I have a login and password to try and get a ticket for the Space Shuttle Atlantis launch which is now on July 8!!!

I signed up for the pool on a whim thinking that it would already be sold out.

So on Wednesday morning I have to go ahead and attempt to purchase a ticket starting at 9 am. I have no clue how I'm getting to Florida...lol.

Anyone want to come pick me up? I'll buy an extra ticket! ;)

Item #4 Scratched ?

Sadly I think I'm going to have to take an item off the list--

Item #4-- see a space shuttle launch.

So I heard this morning that the very LAST space shuttle launch EVER is next month. I knew they'd shut down the program, but I didn't realize how close the end was. Space Shuttle Atlantis is due to launch in July and that is the end.

Unless I can pull a miracle off and make it to Florida, I'm going to have to retire #4 on the list.

:(

Salute--Memorial Day, Off List

I got to do something very cool this morning that's off the list but totally list worthy--

This morning I was helping set up for band that was playing at the US Navy Memorial. While we were there they started putting the flags up and one of them got tangled--so I went to help and ended up raising the Navy Seal Flag just before the wreath laying ceremony!

How cool is that?

What a way to kick off Memorial Day weekend.

New SWEET goal!

So I decided today to add a little of sweetness to my to do list...

I am a HUGE fan of Georgetown Cupcakes-- you may know the place from the show "DC Cupcakes" on TLC.

I go there at least once a week with my co-worker and stand in line behind tourists who insist on snapping pictures of...people standing in line, but admittedly these are some REALLY scrumptious cupcakes. I've yet to try a flavor I didn't like.

So my new "to-do" item is to try all 70+ flavors.

Item #6- Get My Masters Degree DONE

May 20, 2011--check this off the list

Item #6

On May 20...Item #6- "Get My Master's Degree" gets officially crossed of the list.

Almost...

I'm about 2 months out from getting my Master's--which is definitely in my TOP 10--and also the reason why I've been neglecting this blog, which happens to be my baby, but...I figured I'd post a quick check in just to let people know I'm still working on it. :)

Will return in a few weeks with updates. Meanwhile... work your dreams!
