Goal 6: Self-portait
The Golden Year
This year, I celebrate my "Golden Birthday": I'll turn 27 years old on March 27th. In honor of this occasion, I came up with 27 goals to complete by March 27, 2013.
(27 things)
1. read 27 books
2. send 27 postcards
3. drink 27 kinds of beer
4. eat 27 different vegetables
5. eat 27 different fruits
6. take a self-portrait on 27th of every month
(fitness/self improvement)
7. run a 5K
8. do 100 pushups + 200 sit-ups
9. memorize a deck of cards
10. pay off credit cards
11. vote
12. write in a journal every day
(vanity)
13. wear false eyelashes in public
14. find the perfect pair of boots
15. wear a white bikini on a beach
(activities)
16. go to a live performance (concert, play, symphony, opera, musical, etc)
17. go to a museum
18. go camping
19. get married
20. shoot a gun
21. host a dinner party
22. donate blood
(create/make)
23. make a time capsule
24. homebrew beer
25. make marshmallows
26. make a layer cake
27. post one new recipe to robynette's diner every month
Some of these goals have a little more leeway than others, and some will probably get combined–if I serve homemade marshmallows at a dinner party and write a post about it for Robynete's Diner, that's a triple hit! Some of these goals are already in progress and some will be one-time deals. I'm looking forward to what the year will bring!

Apparently I can't quit cold turkey
I'm having a lot of fun taking and editing photos with my iPhone. I'll occasionally dump some here if that's alright with you.
IT'S OVER! Dec 26 - Dec 31
HOORAY! The last batch!
This is only the third year we've had a Christmas tree in the apartment (and the first year didn't really count because I wasn't living here yet). We're still building our ornament collection and try to grab one or two from the places we've visited over the past year.
The Christmas festivities for us started on December 23rd, which means I was up until midnight on December 22 wrapping everything!
We LOVE getting Christmas cards. We got as far as the doorknob this year - maybe next year we'll hit the floor!
Remember that Heineken commercial from five or six years ago, where the guy gives his friend a "holiday five-pack" of beer? Colin and Adam decided to co-opt that tradition. Except it only works when you give ACTUAL beer, not non-alcoholic like Adam accidentally bought!!
Merry Christmas 2011!
Last year we gave Mom & Dad a lemon tree. One year later...
We stayed one night with Chumby & Lorelle. I love staying there, because it's basically a petting zoo with three cats and a dog.
Savannah Smiles piano bar!
Savannah has no shortage of excellent food. Papillote Cafe, however, ranks near the top.
Mountain weekend 2011! FINALLY!
The New Year's crew. Glad to spend it with the gang for the fourth year in a row.
And with that, it's over!

Dec 16 - Dec 20
Chopping up some leeks for potato & leek soup.
Colin's mom threw us a beautiful party. The food was AMAZING and we got to dress up!
We came back to Hoboken for the after-party, and of course ended up at McMahon's. The boys ended up playing pool until two a.m. (Note Adam's look of defeat here as her tries to give Colin shooting advice.)
Family present this year: engagement photos!
Sleeping beauty.
Dec 11 - Dec 15
Officially, this project is over. I no longer have to take a photo every day, and it is a HUGE relief. Still have to edit the last 16 photos! My goal is to get them all up by January 31.
Christmas tree lot.
Working our way through the Christmas card list. It seems to get longer every year!
Reeves family tradition: candy cane cookies. The recipe can be found over on Robynette's Diner.
We do a lot of our shopping online this time of year. All of the boxes seemed to arrive on one day. ALL of them.
Audible went all-out for the holiday party this year! That's a table made out of ice. For real!
