So, I know it's been a while. I wrote this post about a month ago and it got deleted, and then, in the grand tradition of giving up on things that frustrate me, to retaliate, I didn't blog at all for a while. (Because yes, in my mind, I'm "getting back" at the blog for erasing my post...ok, don't ask...). Anyway - I realize that I never posted a 25 of 25, and then I got exhausted trying to think about 25 appropriate and reasonable things I could post about. And instead, I'm going to do 5. 5 things I want to do before turning 26. And they're going to be reasonable, and fun, and I'm actually going to try really hard to do all of them. Here we go -
5 before 26
1. Learn how to french braid my own hair. I have always been jealous of people who can do this - I've tried many times, but given up soon after.
2. Purchase a pig, and kill it myself. Straight off my list from last year. There's only a few places in the country that have programs where you by the whole pig and then they teach you how to slaughter it, and then butcher it into meal sized portions.
3. Run a marathon within a month of my 26th birthday. ...I guess this one is worded a little strange. I want to run a marathon in July 2013. 26 miles for 26 years seems pretty poetic, right?
4. Start an etsy shop for Silver Hilltop Designs. I still have all those earrings from last year, and craft fairs are sometimes hard to break into. I'll keep everyone updated on my progress on this one (and then I'll be your biggest jewelry-pushing friend you know, haha).
5. Find peace in/with an old relationship/an old residence/an old experience that I haven't been able to let go. Hardest to track, perhaps hardest to complete - but I'm finding that as I still am living a (mostly) nomadic life, leaving people and places and experiences behind, it's harder and harder to not get bitter about things that haven't worked out for one reason or another. And I don't want to be bitter. It sucks the life out of you, and I need all my energy to deal with my own life as it is. :)
So we'll see how this goes!
Love, Bethy
