Fun times had by all

Last weekend the wonderful and fabulous Katie Franke came to visit me. We had the most wonderful time hanging around the apartment playing the Wii, eating out and playing with the ponies. She is planning on coming back over spring break, but I think is mostly so she can play with Wii and Charlie.
When Katie sadly had to leave us to go back to Manhattan, Mark and I decided to go to a movie. We ventured downtown to see the 3D viewing of Avatar. For those who don't think they will like it, go see it in 3D, its well worth the trip. Its so cool! I normally don't like those types of movies, but Mark and I both really liked it. It is a long movie though (2 and a half hours), so be prepared to take a pee break in there.
Other than that, I'm just trying to stick with my workout plan (which consists of running, and I recently added pilates and then I'm also going to add another workout video, but I have yet to get that from Amazon). I'm also preparing to go to Atlanta next week for the International Poultry Expo to present my research findings for half of my trial. Don't worry fans, I will take many pictures of the expo and around Atlanta. I'm pretty exctied, I've never been to Atlanta so its sure to be a good time.
Alright, I better get back to work before people catch on to what I'm doing. Happy day!

What do you want to do before you die?

I know its the trashiest channel, but MTV has come up with a concept for a show that genuinely intrigues me. Its called the Buired Life, and its about these 4 friends that make lists of 100 things they want to do before they die, and they go out on the road to accomplish these goals. Its the 20 somethings bucket list. The concept of the show has compelled me to think about some things I would want to do before I die. I know I've already accomplished some of the things on my list, and things that are probably on everyone's list. There are crazy, rediculous things I want to do, and some things that will be readily achievable. But, below is a short list of what I want to do before I die (in no particular order):
1. Get Married
2. Have a kid (shocking, I know but hopefully I'll get to that sometime...Not soon, but sometime)
3. Finish School
4. Go to Europe
5. Go to Germany (I guess this can be included in Europe, but I really REALLY want to go to Germany)
6. Go to Hawaii
7. Compete at the World Show (Quarter horse or Paint horse, don't care)
8. Place top ten at the world show
9. Win a world buckle
10. Go to a fabulous rich person party
11. Have a character in WoW reach level 80 (or 85 when the new installment comes out)

That is the short list, its not everything but just some things I could think of off the top of my head.
Think about what you want to do before you die, its kinda fun.
Happy Day!
