More stuff I've done from the 52 things list...

I have been terrible at blogging lately. I guess it is because I have been so busy. I realized that up until this past Saturday, I haven't had a chance to sleep-in for months. So Saturday, I took the opportunity to stay in my PJs til 1, read a trashy novel, work on some artwork, and experiment with mojito making. Now that I'm all refreshed, I think its time to catch up on a bit of blogging. Here is a list of my latest accomplishments from the list of 52 things...seeing as it is September, I really have to get a move on it.

#20/52 Dave Matthew's concert: I've never seen Dave live...and as I was told, while waiting in line to get into the Hollywood Bowl, "Once you see him live, you will love him forever." Well, forever is a long time...but after seeing him live, I have to agree that I do like him move than I did before. And I hope to catch him again in the future.

#21/52 Visit Joshua Tree: Ever since seeing the cover of the U2 album, way back in the day, I've always been curious about Joshua Tree. I wondered what about it was so inspiring to U2 to name and album after it. So one weekend, I headed to the desert to check it out. It is beautiful and hot...so hot that I am positive if you seat out there long enough you will have visions...it is inevitable. Maybe that's why U2 was so inspired by Joshua Tree...but probably not.

#22/52 Willie Nelson Concert: Good ol' Willie Nelson...I felt I had to see this guy before he died. And so I did...caught him playing at the Hollywood Bowl with the LA Philharmonic. This probably was not his most rowdy concert...but it certainly was a fun time. I suggest catching him if you get a chance.

#23/52 Figure skating medal: I got a medal on a technicality...And by that I mean, I finished a level of figure skating and they gave me a medal upon completion of the class. I didn't really have to do much besides a few crossovers and prove that I could stop while skating backwards...but since I've never earned a medal in anything, I totally believe it counts.

#24/52 Checked out the Tall Ships festival: This was something I did over the past weekend. One of my friends had told me about it last year and her pics from the fest were so cool, that I totally had to go this year. I didn't get a pirate boyfriend out of it, but that was because I realized all the cute pirates probably aren't so cute in normal clothes.

#25/52 Learn to make mojitos: Silly me...this one is super easy, but I had never gotten around to taking the time to actually learn how to make a mojito. Now that i've figured it out, I am planning on doing a mojito station at my next party.
