I admit, posting on Extra+Ordinary hasn't been a top priority lately, but it has indeed been on my mind. So what has taken up my time? Here's the skinny:
Goal #2 - Travel to a new country.
Looks like this one will be a piece of cake. I'm heading to London for work for a little over a month. While I've been to England a few times, I'm going to use my free weekends to explore a few of the European neighbors, as well as head to Italy and Turkey for work-related trips. Looks like the foreign language goal couldn't come at a better time. Can't wait to check this one off the list!
With a few of our favorite people in tow, my friend Shane and I jumped from 13,500 ft. Not too shabby for a sporadic Sunday activity! While I am a long way from being a regular, this was an experience I wouldn't mind repeating sometime in the future.
This was only a short term success. While I'd like to say this one is complete, I still need to work on not taking stress out on my fingernails. Not only is a disgusting habit, but the germaphobe in me is repulsed! :)
Goal #21 - Make fourth donation to Locks of Love
Getting closer! I could technically cut it in about a month to reach the 10 inch donation, but as some of my faithful readers know, I love Halloween parties... this year's costume may be best with longer locks... for a good cause, of course! :)
And here's a shout out to my friend Nick. Within a two week period, he lost his father and turned 30. What makes him extraordinary? Nick turned his epic 30th birthday bash plans into an Alzheimer's fundraiser - the disease that took his dad and many other of his family members. Here's to the birthday boy w/ a heart of gold.
Til next time,
Molly
that is awesome that nick did that! i have a close friend who is a part of that same family and it is a scary thing to think about for the future and for those families going thru alzheimer's. their family has a very unique type of alzheimer's so it is interesting to hear about it but also very scary.
