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.

Graduation Trip!

Okay, is it to early to plan my graduation trip? I know it isn't high school but hell 18 months is a long time. I need something good to focus on besides the fact that I will be doing good for others. I mean "I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that." [LLoyd Dobler in Say Anything ( I love John Cusack!)] I will be helping people!

So when I finish the LVN program in 18 months plus 3 months of summer vacation, I want to go to Bikini Boot Camp. I got this email from my friend, Candy and she is in Tulum, Mexico at Amansala  participating in Bikini Boot Camp and the itinerary sounds amazing. I want to go so bad! I told this tidbit to G and she is also down. She then suggested we skip on over to Playa del Carmen for some more adventure and I think I can get her to take a short side trip to Merida to see Frida's house and the Plaza where we can find some Latin Lovers (cue Tbone and Dave in their best bull fighter outfits and Vincente Fernandez playing ranchero songs). Can you dig it? Don't you want to join us? I CAN NOT WAIT!!! (COUNT DOWN TO MAY 2009!) I am starting to freak out becuase I so want the next 21 months to go by RAPIDO!

M-I-N-N-E-S-O-T-A

2007 ended on a high note. The whole family went to Minneapolis for Auntie N's 80th birthday party. We didn't tell her we were coming and boy was she suprised and happy to see us. We had a great trip -- we went to a Gopher's hockey game (our first) and saw ice skating cheerleaders, walked on a frozen lake, and hung out with our great family.

Design*Sponge has a guide on design in the Twin Cities. We wanted to check out all the cool stores listed in the guide but the cold (did we say cold) weather prevented us from doing so. Well, we'll just have to go back there when it is warmer, much warmer.
