Slow and steady, friends. I think that's my motto for 40.
1. Get a pedicure with Dorothy-- You guys! I dropped a can of wine on my foot (KLASSY) like 4 months ago, and my nail is still too gross to get a real pedicure. SOME DAY.
2. Go to all of the museums in town-- Oh my goodness! Harry and I went to the campus art museum, and it was amazing. So! ONE DOWN!
3. Make 40 POTY podcasts Steady progress here, friends. If you haven't listened to POTY in awhile, go for it.
4. Write 40 poems: BAH HUMBUG
5. Keep my nails manicured: DUDE.
6. Read 100 books by women: I am killing this one.
7. Finish my novel: SHAME SHAME SHAME
8. Practice yoga everyday: Um. I think maybe I don't want to? I was in the groove with this one and then! Bam! I had a legit excuse for skipping day and then a day became a week. And I have done it semi-regularly since, but it feels forced.
