I wrote this on my birthday and never posted it. Talk about adult-onset ADD. Anyhoo, I don't see the harm in throwing it up here now, do you?

Happy birthday to me and Memorial Day to you kids out there! I hope the weather was phenom wherever you were, as it certainly was here.
My day was perfect: A (first) 30-mile bike ride, bbq, volleyball and pool time, Harry Potter movie/nap, dinner and bday brownies made by the boy. SO fun. Isn't weird how you "care" less and less about your own birthday as you get older? I am normally one of those "It's my birthday WEEK/MONTH/YEAR" type of people (only child for sure), but this time all i wanted to do was relax, be outside, laugh and eat good food with friends. Simple pleasures.
Along the lines of getting older, wiser and a tiny bit more mature, I've also begun to set short and long-term goals and an action plan to help me reach my best life and best self. It will be interesting to look back at this date a year from now and see what got done.
One year goals (age, 29)
1/ I create new product consistently for onthelookout, blog at least every other day and am selling jewelry and accessories at 3 local shops and do my first craft show for the spring season.
2/ I bike 150+ miles for MS on August 14th, 2011. (dunzo! and it was AWESOME.)
3/ I run my 2nd 10k in under 50 minutes on October 9th, 2011.
4/ I save $2,000 for a snowboarding trip to Big Sky, MT this winter and buy myself a GNU Snowboard...dream big, right?
Inspire me! I want to hear some of your goals too!
