Blind Date Night

A few years ago my best friends and I participated in our first blind date experience. It was only supposed to be the three of us, but then it expanded into 9 individuals with blind dates. That's a total of 18 people altogether and it was crowded!

 

For some odd reason, we decided to do it again and keep it to a smaller size this time. While it was not just the three of us, we were able to limit it to 5 blind dates. We spent a week and a half scrambling around trying to find each other dates and I just want to say we did a great job for most of it being last minute. Most dates were found the day before the event or the actual day. We are great!

 

Overall, this was the best blind date experience I have had. We all had a great time and it seemed much more relaxed compared to our first time. It's sad to think we won't have very many opportunities to do things like this together anymore, but I am so grateful we could do it one last time together.

 

We started off the date by grabbing some dinner at Fireside Grill which was delicious. Burgers, wings, and French fries. How can you go wrong?! Then we headed to the batting cage which is where all the pictures to come are from.

 

We hit those balls and laughed as many of us missed some as well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And this is the whole group! 5 dates and one odd man out, my awesome brother who just wanted to come for the batting cages.

 

I know blind dates sound scary, but if you do it the way we do they are a lot of fun.

Go try a group blind date and remember to have fun!

June List

Even despite how crazy busy this month has been, I have been trying hard to accomplish my list!

 

1.) Find a place to live in Seattle/roommates---this is seriously stressing me out! I've got a lead on this one and my fingers are crossed that it works out.

2.) No Caffeine---its a stretch but I believe I can do it. Yeah this just did not work out for me. Whoops!

3.) 2 pinterest projects.  Completed! You'll see a post on it soon!

4.) Make $500 dollars for Washington.  I did not expect this to be the easiest one, but I did it in a week! Being a server rocks!

5.) Use myfitnesspal everyday  Yeah it wasn't every day but 6/7 days of the week which is pretty good.

6.) Pay for the meal or coffee behind me. I did not get to do this one so I am adding it too next months list again!

7.) Read 3 Books.  I read two! and I am counting blogging for dummies as one of them.

8.) Up my blog design and contact pages. Blogging for Dummies is going to become my best friend! I read the book and I have added some new things to my blog. Facebook contact, twitter feed, and a new design. Let me know what you think. Do you like it or need something different?

 

June List

1.) Pay for the person behind me.

2.) 2-3 Pinterest Projects.

3.) Add instagram feed to my blog.

4.) Go on a group blind date with my besties--their idea!

5.) Participate in High Five for Friday-a blog link-up hosted by one of my favorite bloggers.

6.) Workout at least twice a week.

What's on your list?

April List

So I would say I did most of these, but I changed some of them.

March List

1.) Actually watch March Madness this year or at least one game! I got a little of the games; I never watched a game from start to finish, but that is pretty good for me.

2.) Do a Seventeen magazine toning workout each week. -Half scratched off. I did one week of this and the workout I chose killed my abs, which means it worked!

3.) Wear my hair up!  -I mainly accomplished this because I was lazy with doing my hair.

4.) No caffeine! Yes, super over-achieving here, but I think I can do it. Well, I tried to do just coffee. I did okay, but not great.

5.) Invite a friend over for dinner each week.-Not even close.

6.) Eat out less- Qdoba, we can no longer meet once a week even though I love you so much! -I did decent at this.

7.) Blog 4 times a week and participate in blog hopping events. This was what I was most successful at. I actually came up with lots of blog ideas because I only blogged 4 times a week. I never thought about saving blogs to post later. Write it now, post late-Genius! 

April List

1.) Plan out what I am going to wear the night before. I always get panicky about what to wear in the morning so hopefully planning it the night before will help.

2.) Continue blogging four times a week and work on getting more followers.

3.) Eat at places in Anderson that are not chain restaurants; Yes, Qdoba, we still cannot be best friends this month.

4.) Enjoy the warm, spring weather when it comes.

5.) Wear more makeup. I want to find the look that is my signature go-to.

6.) Do better at my health challenge.

7.) No Soda this month-kill me now.

March List

Well, I would say I accomplished almost the same amount I did for January and I had fewer items this month. I think partial blame goes to my memory and the fact I forgot I even made some of these my goals. I plan on posting my list on my fridge so I remember them next month.

1.) Stick to my health challenge (which I will share with you in my next post) This last week was the hardest with giving up caffeine for two days. I went 8 months without it, why is two days so difficult?

2.) Eat Breakfast at least twice a week (specifics are always helpful for me): I did a partial cross off as I did that for two weeks.

3.) Invite one person over for dinner each week: Completely failed this one, but does going out to eat with friends count?

4.) Try hair-up do's. I really got into wearing my hair down a lot and I now have an excuse to try new hair styles now that my hair is long.: I was really into the little bun on top of my head this month, but I did not do any crazy-cool hair-do's. Hopefully I can next month. I did cut my a few inches off though!

5.) Have a positive attitude about work. Lately anything having to do with work just puts me in a bad mood.: This is another partial because I cannot remember how my attitude has been towards work. Dang memory.

6.) Take more pictures:This was from the month of January, but as you can see from previous posts I took more pictures than I took all last year!

March List

1.) Actually watch March Madness this year or at least one game!

2.) Do a Seventeen magazine toning workout each week.

3.) Wear my hair up!

4.) No caffeine! Yes, super over-achieving here, but I think I can do it.

5.) Invite a friend over for dinner each week.

6.) Eat out less- Qdoba, we can no longer meet once a week even though I love you so much!

7.) Blog 4 times a week and participate in blog hopping events.
