Road map for this 30 before 30 thang.

To date I have complete 17% of my goals (5) and I have another 43% on the go. Phoar! That's a 60% pass rate at the moment. Happy with that.

My problem is that I'm not used to waiting to get things done. If I have a to do list, I do it. It's hard for me to leave some things on the back burner while I focus on others, and it makes me worry about the ones that I haven't touched at all or put much thought into.

The ones that are worrying me at the moment:
#2 Learn how to apply a cracking face of make up.
#7 Swim with dolphins
#10 Write a children's book
#11 Make more money from my blog
#12 Master a fancy schmancy gourmet meal, and
#25 make time for video games

So let's have a closer look at these.

Things with the face of make up goal keep falling through, and ashamedly, it's not a huge priority for me. I've always wanted to be into make up, I like the idea of it, but the wearing it is another thing altogether. I'm sure it will get done, but if it didn't I wouldn't super cry? lol did I just say that?

For Swimming with Dolphins, I decided to keep it for the end of the year where hopefully I have achieved #2 on the list and will look primo in a wetsuit, lol. I am planning on using Dophin Seafaris and they recommend November - April as a time to do it. I wondered whether this might be a cool thing to do for my 30th birthday. (:

I started to look into #10 and the first thing that was suggested was to read lots of children's books. Which I do, on a daily basis. The knack here is coming up with a theme or idea...it's an easy one to push to the back burner for sure.

#11 is also a tough one. I've had someone approach me recently to do a sponsored post. So that could be a start...

I really want to start on planning #12. In fact, I might even pop it into my next week's Weekly 10 goals. I have been worried about what people will think I meant by 'gourmet'. I even asked my facebook friends today what they think of when they think of 'gourmet food', but I think I might just stick to the 'fancy schmancy' part of the goal. Who cares what is considered 'gourmet' or 'fancy schmancy'.... a 5 course meal that I've taken time to complete will be deliciously awesome no matter what you label it!

I have been doing pretty good with #25. But I also get very frustrated. I feel like if I make a mistake or can't pass something (STUPID SAND BOSS ON PIKMIN!!!) that I'm wasting my time. It shouldn't be that way! I enjoy playing games, when I'm not putting pressure on myself to enjoy them. It's a vicious cycle. My head is a nasty place when you're me. I need to give myself time to relax and time to enjoy. Stop being the fun nazi Kate!

I'm glad I thought about that. It's made me feel better about my progress and every now and then I feel a pang of 'uh oh' about it. 8 months to go!
