'24' Re-runs (sans Jack Bauer)

24 was a big year. Maybe the biggest. Here are 24 things I did while I was 24:

1.       Got bangs.

2.       Ran a marathon in the time it takes most people to run two.

3. Graduated.

4.       Threw away that 'Tuesday-Night-Seniors'-Bingo' skirt I wore almost daily for 2 1/2 years.

5.       Perfected a Chaco tan living in Belize for 4 months.



6.       Officially have lived in the USA longer than I lived in Canada.

7.       Drove across the country and moved here.

Well, not here.
8.       Lived in a celebrity's closet. Literally, in her closet. #whatIdoforcheaprent

9.   Forced myself to like seafood.

10.   Learned about politics. A lot.

11.       Hopped on a plane 41 times to visit 9 countries and 16 states.

12.   Earned premiere status at 3 hotel chains. Egh. #welcometoconsulting

13.   Hated my job.

14.   Loved my job.

15.   Got 4 parking tickets.

16. Lost 9 toenails.

Still not sure why people run these things
17.   Learned that the DC and CT tax codes are very similar (and gave CT some extra cash).

18.   Fell in love with Mark Rothko. Again.

19.   Gained weight. And lots of it.

20.   Bought a ukulele.

  
21.   Wouldn't you know, I'm allergic to grass, ragweed, and some trees.

22.   Bought red lipstick.

23.   Got yelled at by the FBI (unrelated to 22).

24.   Started an herb garden. Killed an herb garden.

Made mistakes. Felt overwhelmed, lonely, and even heartbroken. Tripped in heels and put my foot in my mouth. Learned a lot about the world and myself. But it was certainly a year I won't forget. 24, thanks for the ride! Here's to to avoiding 15, 19, and 23 this year. Cheers!

  2. I was trying to explain how you lived in Sheryl's closet to Darien and her friend the other day and that you didn't have a door. That's all.
    Oh and I love Rothko too.

  3. Hey look! I made a blogspot 3 years ago. Awesome. Guess which post is my favorite...I laughed for awhile after reading it.

    Have you been to Rothko chapel in Houston? Love that place.
