3. Write a letter to a friend every week for one year.  This week's letter went to my tiniest new friend...Lillian Patricia Debelius born 9/22/10.  She shares a birthday with my Nana, my sweet great grandma who passed when I was 23.  I was so lucky to have my great grandma in my life for so long, and I love that Baby Lillian will share a bday with such a fantastic lady. Dear Baby Lillian, I'm sure you're not aware...

i could get used to this...

27. Do something kind for myself, that I would normally never do. - DONE! My sister Neda and I are very much alike.  We share a dad, a sister, a last name and our initials.  We never lived in the same household at the same time.  We actually never lived in the same county together.  We have different moms and we are nine years apart. But somehow we share the same brain. We often finish each other's sentences...

over the edge, part one

1. Conquer a fear - DONE!!!!!!!!!!! I know some of you have been eager for the story of the rappel.  When I say it was the most frightening experience of my life I am being 100% truthful and not dramatic in the least.  I really do not understand how some people (including Nick!!!!) can make it look so easy when I was petrified every single moment.  I must just be wired differently, that's the only conclusion I can...

28. See the Ravens play an away game. - DONE! Now listen.  I know everyone wants to hear about the rappel yesterday--and I'm eager to tell you all about it!  But truth be told, I'm still processing the entire experience.  It was truly, truly frightening for me, like nothing I've ever experienced before.  I'm so glad I did it...but I'm still on the fence as to whether or not I'd ever be able to do it again. ...

fear fear fear fear fear fear fear..times 23

So yesterday I was in the NY/NJ area accomplishing #28 on my list ;) and while there I hung out with some fun friends of mine.  They were staying at the W hotel in Hoboken---a beautiful hotel, by the way, with the perfect view of the NYC skyline across the Hudson.  Anyway, their suite was on the 14th floor, and out of curiosity I went out and looked down.... AND HOLY CRAP THAT WAS HIGH UP. Tomorrow I'm going to be rappelling...

17. See Lady Gaga perform. - DONE! Yes, we really were THAT close.  Seriously, if you ever, ever have the opportunity to see Lady Gaga perform live--DO IT.  Even if you're not a fan of her music, she is just such a PERFORMER and puts on such an amazing stage show.  YOU MUST DO IT.  BECAUSE I SAID SO. My sister and I were lucky enough to get floor seats and we loved every minute.  I've been to many...
