October: Girls Just Want to Have Fun

How did I do this month on my list of things to do in 2007?

General

18. Go to Bromann Park
I have a park?!?!?!

Bromann Playlot Park in Chicago, Illinois.

 

20. Go to a haunted house
Best haunted house ever.

 

 

 

Arts

24. See Blue Man Group
Blue Man Group is still as awesome as ever…except for the caking me in banana part.


 

 

Life and professional:

72. Learn to use my iPod and get all my music on it
I’m still iPod inept and still have a lot of songs to add…but I now have more on there than just “Like a Prayer.”

 

 

Travel:

80. Go to Bengtson’s Pumpkin Farm
Done and done.

81. Visit a state I have never been to
This was already crossed off with Ohio, but now I can cross off Tennessee and Kentucky as well!

Road trip to Tennessee.

 

82. See Takeru Kobayashi
So, it’s not my fault that he has a jaw injury and couldn’t compete 🙁 So, no I won’t be able to cross this off of my list this year 🙁 I did however see Joey Chestnut pound down 103 Krystals and Pat Bertoletti swallow like a bazillion jalapenos. That counts for something!

Krystal Square Off IV hamburger eating contest in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

 

 

Food and Libations:
S’mores bars!

Baking S'mores Bars

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!!!
