2) Read all the books by the Bronte sisters: This month I finished "Agnes Grey" by Anne Bronte...you can skip this one. Nothing exciting at all.
3) See the Boston Ballet (or a ballet in any city): I went and saw the Boston Ballet's Copelia by Delibes. It was beautiful. I would definitely go and see the ballet again, although next time I might try a Tchaikovsky ballet.
This one actually got combined with #9) Be bold and ask someone out on a date. Although the date went well (it was actually date #3 for us), it ended up being the last date for us. Note to single women reading this - do not ask a guy out on a date - it changes the balance of power. So if you want to see the guy again, do not ask him out.
6) Learn to make 1 new vegetarian recipe ever month: This month I went with a theme and made some mexican recipes. I made quacamole, which unfortunately wasn't great. I followed the recipe to a T, but it was missing something. I also think I should've used fresh cilantro instead of dried cilantro. I also made wild mushroom quesadillas with this amazing salsa. The quesadillas were a bit weird because the mushrooms called for thyme on them. The salsa was this amazing BBQ, black bean and corn salsa that could seriously be eaten alone...but the salsa with the thyme mushroom quesadillas was a strange mix. So I tried it again with cheese quesadillas and it was amazing! And last but not least, I made avocado boats, which are avocados with scallions, tomatoes, hot sauce of choice, lemon, olive oil and a little salt. Yummy! Here are some pictures:
7) Do a full on spring cleaning - this time make sure things actually make it to goodwill!: Well, the spring cleaning is done, but items haven't made it to goodwill yet - they are going next week though :)
18) Host a dinner party or a holiday dinner: I hosted Easter at my house this year with my sisters and my friend Sarah B. This also covers #15(Get together with my sisters once a month). Great time was had by all. Here are some pics:
19) Get new plants for my home and see if I can make them live this time!: I got 2 new plants for my home - let's see if I can make them live! :)
24) Go to a jazz club: My friend Sarah B and I went to the Four Seasons Hotel in Boston to listen to a jazz trio as part of Jazz Week in Boston. We had some really yummy french fries and fabulous drinks while we were there...the jazz was good too :)
31) Watch all 8 seasons of 24 - this one is for Kayla: I've seen the first 4 seasons so far. I won't get all 8 in this year since the 8th season is currently playing, but I'll definitely get in 7.
So I think that pretty much covers it for April....the list is getting smaller and smaller - yay! :)
