COMPLETED - 2. Begin divorce proceedings

My initial divorce papers arrived in the mail yesterday, so I guess this goal is officially completed since that means I am begin[ing] divorce proceedings. I should have them returned by the end of the week.

This is a big step.

In the right direction.

11. See some of the local sights - MAZEZILLA

#11 on my list is to start seeing some of the local sights that surround me here in the NJ/PA area. It's amazing how many places and things I haven't seen/done around here. This weekend, I tackled one of those.

G and I went to a corn maze. My first. It's called Mazezilla and is located in Saylorsburg, PA. This year's theme was Wild Wild West so the maze looked like a cowboy on a horse with some other wild west things around it. We didn't do very well in the maze - only getting 3 of the 9 punch stations, but we had a good time and both got tired of all the annoying, screaming people around the same time and decided to make our way out of the maze. Once we set our mind to it, we found our way out with no problem. Funny, we couldn't find the punch stations, but we could find the exit.

Here is the only picture I took of the maze since my camera died.

Getting There: 99. Fit into a size 12

On the way to a size 12 is a size 14.
Yesterday, I put on a pair of size 14 jeans that actually fit well and didn't cause me to walk like a robot or not allow me to breathe. It was a pretty good feeling!

COMPLETED - 39. Spend time with a guy who makes me smile

After a lengthy talk with G tonight, he said I should consider this goal completed since he knows he makes me smile. He does have a point, so here it is as completed. I'm having a wonderful time with him and admittedly the smile never leaves my face when I'm with him, think about him, or talk to him. I guess that truly means this goal is completed.

ONE COMPLETED - 64. Try 3 new things that someone suggests

One down, two to go.

Most people know just how picky I can be when it comes to food.
The other night the suggestion for dinner was a Hungarian restaurant and I didn't even hesitate. I just said ok and went along kind of dreading the menu. When it was set down in front of me it was rather overwhelming since everything included either cabbage or pork and I don't eat either really. Finally I decided to just go for it and settled on Gypsy Pork with mashed potatoes and green beans. It wasn't all that bad really and in the end, it made the person I was with happy that I could share in his heritage. It also meant that I tried something new when it was suggested and therefore completed one of the three things for #64.

COMPLETED - JEWELRY DESIGN AND REPAIR COURSE

I completed my first goal today.

I finished the last lesson and test for the Jewelry Design & Repair course that I started back in April. Feels good to have it done.

Now, once I've finished paying for it, I will receive my official certification. Yay!
