#125- Get a Slurpee
My mother and I had to run to the store to get supplies. On our way back she looks over at me and asks if I've had a Slurpee yet (she's an avid supporter of me finishing the list and often gets on my back for not updating the blog frequently enough. And when I say 'avid', I mean she texts me at 6:30am to tell me to get more things done). I replied that no, I had not been able to yet. She smiled and found the nearest 7-11.

| The classic "brain freeze" face. She does it so well. |
This one brings me back! I used to do this all the time when I was a kid. My friend Julie and I would color toothpicks and race them down the gutters by her house. It was the best way to celebrate the fact that it had actually rained in Las Vegas.
It started pouring rain while I was in Colorado and the following sequence of events happened:
1. I get picked up by my brothers and thrown outside. The door is then locked.
 |
| This is me threatening them. Yes, I am very intimidating. |
3. My mom walks by and says something to the effect of "This is great! Everyone outside, NOW!"
4. Family pictures.
5. Toothpick race!!! I had to pass the tradition on to my nieces.
6. I lost.
#77- Have a tea party
Turns out my nieces own a pretty legit tea set. We are so fancy.
 |
| We like to class things up with plastic cutlery every now and then. |
#113- Bake a pie
Peach pie = heaven.
 |
| My dad is the ultimate pie connoisseur. And contrary to what his shirt might suggest, he is quite the food expert and has great taste and skill. |
 |
| The first crust didn't quite make the cut... round 2! |
 |
| Mmmm... |
#118- Learn to play chess
Or as my nephew calls it, "chest". I haven't had the heart to correct him yet, it's just too funny.
Believe it or not, my 10-year-old niece taught me how to play chess. She's pretty much a genius.
 |
| Can you see the fear in my eyes? This is the moment I realized I was out of my league. |
 |
| The final result. |
