Priceless List - 2008

More lists. Looking back at 2008, here are our picks for our priceless moments of the year. What were yours?

Chica Cherry's list
* Obama's victory
* Getting into a bullfight ring and caping a bull. It was a young bull but still a bull.
* Traveling, traveling and more traveling -- Washington state, San Antonio, Austin, New York (twice), Leon, Mexico (twice),and Washington, D.C.
* Turning Forty and surviving my Forty Days of Fun.
* Riding a bicycle built for two and not falling off.

Ms. Olive's List:
* Finishing my first year of LVN school.
* Going to the weddings of my two cousins (Mexico and Denver).
* Surviving Forty Days of Fun (Luckily I only had to do 29-35 days of fun)
* Taking my first sewing class since High School and realizing that I like it a lot more now than then. (I also went back and sew all these patches on my overnight bag. Now if I can just learn to fix the zipper on my overnight bag everything would be perfect.)
* Obama victory, sort of. I live in California so I pretty much knew he was gonna win. I mean when McCain brought in that chick and she started talking, it was pretty much in the bag.

Esty Shopping

I totally forgot to blog about my first esty purchases. I got two lovely items. The first was a retro recipe tin that came with a bag of tea from Julie over at joules. I have been using it. I was lucky to go into the Goodwill on Fillmore and find some beautiful recipe card with protective envelopes for only 2 bucks and I just recently saw the same cards at an upscale little store in Cole Valley for $14. Needless to say I was totally psyched!

The other item I purchased was a print from Ninja girl. It is just lovely and I absolutely love it. It is titled "Not from around here". The print was only $20 and I am planning to do a whole wall of just women.



I love both of my items and can't wait to shop for more things on Esty. It was so much fun and I think I got a good deal.
