My List to Better Myself

Seeing as how I am a recent college graduate and am unemployed I figured I needed to do something so I didnt feel so worthless so......... Ive been working on my goals and I have THREE more to cross off. I feels GOOD! lol.

First goal;

39. Learn to play chess

Ive been going to work with Kevin at the athletic department the last few weeks (so Im not at home alone with my thoughts). Ive also been getting a few hours in here and there... *Its a long story* anyway... We are archiving the football footage from previous years and that includes converting all of it to DVD so while each game plays and is recorded to the DVD burner we have a lot of down time.. Plenty of time for him to teach me chess!

We've been playing on yahoo games against each other for the past week and then we went and bought a chess set last night. I have a really good understanding of the game and I caught on surprisingly quick! Im very proud. We just finished playing an intense hour long game. It was awesome! I owe it all to my Kevie poo for being such a great teacher! ( Him and the fact that I just finished reading Through The Looking Glass and its one giant chess game. *shhh dont tell him)

Next Goal;

51. Find a way to organize my craft supplies

I am and EXTREMELY crafty and creative person so I had TONS of stuff strewn about here and there and didnt really know where it all was. I was inspired to start organizing it all because my friend Allie started a goal list and one of her goals is to start a scrapbook so I decided I would clean out my stuff and put together a box of scrapbooking stuff for her that I dont need anymore.

It worked out pretty well because she has a giant box of goodies waiting for her and I know where all my stuff is! I organized all of it into 3 different tubs. Mission Accomplished.

Final Goal;

87. Get healthier looking nails and cuticles

It has been 3 MONTHS since I last bit my nails! Nail biting is something I have taken part in since I was about 4 yrs old. I used to be embarassed by my fingers because I barely had any nails at all and my cuticles were disgusting. Now my nails are long and healthy and Ive started keeping them painted and clean. Very exciting. Ive been trying to grow out my nails off and on for the past 3 yrs and Ive finally done it and kept up with it. Yay!!!!
