As if I haven’t already done enough (cough, buying a house, cough) in the days after my 34th birthday, I am brainstorming a list of things I want to do over the next year…
- Furnish my house – in a beautiful, cohesive way
- Build a bench for my dining room table with my dad
- Redo my backyard (with, you guess it, dad)
- Save $$$ for a plunge pool!
Budget.- Re-establish my network in Austin.
- Get better at rock climbing – learn more techniques, use less muscle
- Take more day trips to San Antonio to spend time with my childhood bestie
- Get to DC to see fbgf’s new house!
- Marry Mara off in May in Mexico!
