28. See at least 3 plays
When did I get so laxidasical about theatre? It took me eleven months, but in November I saw House’s “The Nutcracker” and “The Sparrow.” Two down, one to go.

30. See plenty of Opera
So I missed Caesar 🙁 But I saw Die Frau 🙂 Four hours of opera is definitely plenty of opera 🙂 But I know I will see one more this year!

65. Finish my masters
Donedonedonedonedone…I hope. I don’t technically have my diploma. But I got a B+ in my last class!!! Totally awesome grade for hardly putting forth much effort! Now I just have to pay for it.


79. Go to Las Vegas
Been there, done that, will certainly do it again…

The Las Vegas strip in the Rain. Viva Las Vegas!

83. Knock off at least a few of the following Illinois Attractions:
     j. The Golden Pyramid House
Saw the The Golden Pyramid House on my road trip around Chicago. Aint it purdy?

Hi, I'm Val. I spent most of my 20s in a standstill, unable to pick which path in life I wanted to take. I wanted the nomadic life of a traveler but also wanted the husband, the condo, and the kitten. Unable to decide which life I wanted more, I did nothing. When I turned 30 I’d had enough of putting my life on hold and decided to start “choosing my figs.” So, I quit my job, bought a one-way ticket to Europe, and traveled for three years. Now I'm back in Chicago, decorating my apartment in all the teal, petting my cats, and planning my next adventure.

2007 was both the best and worst year you could ever imagine. OK, so definitely not the worst year ever, but at the same time I feel kind of shitty that I didn’t suck it up and accomplish the two biggest things on my list. I’m still living with the parents and I’m still single 🙁 Other than that though I had one of the most amazingly awesome years you could ever imagine! Thank you so much to everyone who helped make my year so sweet! Highlights definitely include Nadia and Bryan’s wedding, the Illinois road trip, Warped Tour exhibit at the Rock Hall, the Krystal Square Off, meeting Kurt Halsey (and him recognizing me!), and meeting Pat Bertoletti (and him remembering me!). Oh! And the Kwik-e-Mart…and my birthday…and skiing…and cicadas…and well…I guess a whole lot more!

Despite the fact that this year I also completed my masters in writing, I think i probably can sum up the year best in the 10,328 photos I took…



(Don’t worry, I didn’t really post here all 10,328 photos. But sorry they go so fast, I had too many!)

For those brave ones, below the cut is a recap of my “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” 100 in 2007!!!
