37. Create a painting on cavas

So one of my "dates"...I suggested we go to the art store and pick up some supplies and create a masterpiece while sipping on wine. We each bought an easel, 2 pack of canvas, some brushes, big, med, small, and a color pack of acrylic paint...My date was getting so caught up in what to actually paint lol he finally decided to go abstract...he was being so serious as it was just meant to be for fun :/  ...oh well...As we are dripping paint on the carpet and me laughing...I am working on my water lilly...I layer on from dark to light and pause inbetween for wine breaks...I mean waiting for the layers to dry...after 3 hours...his abstract came to be and my water lilly emerged...I was quite pleased being that it's my first piece on canvas, but my date was not as he said his looked like a kid painted it lol..(and it kinda did look like a kid's painting...I said hey it's abstract right? and he responded no I decided to go realistic... :| whoops! lol)..I quite enjoyed it...pic to be added soon!

Ok...So this seems a bit daunting because I barely go out at all let alone for a date! lol. But what do you know the new year has come around and for some reason guys are creeping out the from under the rocks...Not to give too much detail although that is what blogs are for...to blab on...I've been dating and have gone on 5 dates so far in Jan...10 more to go!

99. Keep a swear jar...

I've already been doing horrible at this! I probably owe at least ten dollars by now...life happens and makes me mad...so what do I do....cuss it out! hahaha



Starting total:

$10 (12/9/2011)

This swear jar thing isn't really working...I don't have an incentive to keep me from swearing! lol I should have about $50 now in the jar...Now I need some ideas on what I would do with the money to keep from swearing...any ideas??

36. Watch 26 movies I've never seen for each letter of the alphabet

This list of 26 movies is going to be pretty random, no common theme here. If I find the movie to be really interesting tale, then I will add my two cents, otherwise they will just be one liners...

A Act of Valor [2012]. While I applaud the use of real navy seals used in the movie...their acting could not have been more atrocious...The story line was ok...retreive the CIA agent and then save the world. When they were in it al dolled up with the face paint and uniforms and guns...I was like ok...me likey....but then I saw them without any of that and was like oh...neverming lol. They looked super normal and to me none of them were hot looking like a hollywood actor would be..( I know they were real navy men, but I'm sure they could have found a few better looking ones... jmo)I love action packed movies and this one definitely satisfied my hunger. I felt like I was in a video game, but knew that was what real life men and women are actually going thru sometimes...Although I quite enjoyed the action shots, at the end I felt as if I was just propoganda-ed into supporting the wars... : /

C (Conan the Barbarian [2011]. This movie definitely deserved the 2 stars it was given. The plot was-so-so and several scenes could have been deleted like those sand mummy looking things. The only good point about the movie was JASON MAMOA.....He is sooooo FINE! lol)

J (Jane Eyre [2011]. I can't believe I've never seen this movie before. I love British time period movies and have been into Jane Austen books, but now I may have to brush up on Charlotte Brontes. It was a great movie, another great love story. I wish there were more movies made like this.)

O (One Day [Dec 2011] w/ Anne Hathaway. I didn't really know what this movie was about except that was based on the same day thru the years. I thought it was going to end in a sappy generic Hollywood fashion of love and was surprised by the ending and so mad at the main male character for wasting all those years before when he knew he should have been with Emma. It was a sad, heart warming, love story that I definitely recommend.)
