Survey update

Thanks to everyone who has voted to-date.

As much as many of us like to plan our futures, it is inevitable that sometimes things are decided for us. In this case, my April goal #12 (do something out of my comfort zone). My friend Mel signed up for Chicago's Shamrock Shuffle (April 10), as did her fiance; however, he signed up for both of them. As a result, she had an extra, non-refundable entry. Thanks, Mel and Ben!

This 8K (approximately five miles and a nice in-between mark from the standard 5k and 10k options) will not only make me try something new (remember, I'm the girl who could trip over a $2 bill in a parking lot), but will support goal #4 (get back to my age 17 body, proved by fitting into my 1999 homecoming gown. Six lbs. down, 22 to go). I'm not sure which one is more daunting!

Keep voting between the first and third options! I already ordered the bikini for an upcoming trip to Cabo for my lovely friend Sarah's wedding (six days and counting!), so that will conquer February's #4... if I take off my cover-up on the beach! It looks like March will be a race between letting a friend set me up on a blind date and pitching this blog... I sincerely hope people like reading it enough to start voting for it. This blind date business is hurting my #15 (stop biting nails)!

Happy Hump Day, my fabulous, faithful readers!
