Final 15 Before 15

(Second post today... my goal is to post 3)

Here's the full 15 before 15 list

So I'm going to do this final post a little differently. I'll tell you what I did complete over the last couple of months.

7. I did it... 15 colors on my nails! You can tell I'm obsessed with nail polish right? 

9. Met 15 new people. It helps when 10 of them are on your basketball team ;)

13. Ran 1.5 miles in 15 minutes or less! Can not remember my exact time, wish I did.

14. Somehow I did too much math, so I'm 15 days ahead. No plans to touch that book again until the New Year.

So 4 goals... pretty good? Maybe? Okay, so I could of completed more. So now here are your reasons I didn't complete the other goals:

1. Score 15 baskets in my basketball games - First of all, I've only had two games. I didn't even get to play in the 2nd game because it was so close. I am played the least of any of the players since I have no experience. My coach does not want me to shoot in most situations. That makes since why I've scored 0 baskets, right? I hope :)

2. Have a 15th Birthday party - Possibilities I will have one a little late... like maybe a month late............

3. Write 15 letters to my pen pals - Got to 6, not quite 15... kind of forgot to write.

4. Learn 15 new songs on piano and guitar - I have not played much piano or guitar lately because I need new guitar strings, and our piano is out of tune. 

5. Write 15 short stories/poems - I got lazy.
6. Make 15 different desserts - I was going to bake a ton around Thanksgiving and these last few weeks, but since I got sick, and then got sick again, it didn't quite work out.
8. Read 15 books - I honestly love to read. Why I didn't read any books these last few months? I got part way though quite a lot of non-fiction books. In the way of fiction, I couldn't find any good books to read. Suggestions?
10. Read 15 books of the Bible - I really should have read 15, but I kind of found myself skipping around a lot instead of reading a full chapter. I read lots of half chapters.
11. Draw 15 real people - Let's just say I've not been very artistic today. Or yesterday. Or this week. Or this month.
12. Make 15 bracelets - There's not much point to that goal, but I didn't reach it. I usually end up breaking them before I finish making them, so it didn't quite get there.
15. Try 15 new foods - 15 new foods is a lot.

Wow, that was like a speech. Can you tell I'm kind of hyper today? ;)

Well, maybe next year I'll finish more goals! At least I got 4 :)

15 Things Before 15 Update

I have totally neglected my blog. Barley any posts, neglecting to change it's look, and forgetting about 15 Before 15! Oh well, here's the post to make up for lost time:

5. In writing class, we had to turn a bible story into a modern-day fiction story. I now have written 6 stories and poems.

6. I made Rice Krispie Treats and another dessert, so I've now made 9.

7. I painted my nails clear, clear with sparkles, and light pink (almost white). I've been painting my nails a lot of lighter colors recently. I've now painted them 14 different colors since I began.

9. I'm going to say I've completed #9! YAY! The goal was to meet 15 new people, and since I joined a basketball team, I've met a lot of new people :)

15. I know I've had a new food in the last month, but can't think. Oh well. I've had 7 :)

The complete list is here.

I'm sure there's some other stuff I've completed that I'm not thinking of, but I guess that's what I can think of right now. Goal #1 could be slightly modified, as there's a chance we won't start playing games until the day of my birthday. 

Have a fantastic night everyone!

15 Things Before I Turn 15

It's been 15 Days since our last update, and so it's time for my next update. :) 

Click here for my complete list and past updates!

4: I learned a new song on the piano this month, and am working on another for the guitar, so I now have learned 1 song

6: I made chocolate truffles (yum) and milkshakes, so I now have made 7 desserts

7: I've painted my nails a lot of the colors I previously had the last 15 days, so I only have 1 new color this month. I now have 11 overall now though!

11: I drew Brittany Hargest (as you probably saw from my earlier blog post) and so I've now drawn 3 people

13: I'm proud to say that after lots of tiring running, I forced myself to go 1.5 miles, and made it just under 15 minutes! YAY! THIS GOAL IS NOW COMPLETE!!! That makes me happy to know I've completed at least 1 as of now, especially since I can be kind of lazy when it comes to exercise. 

So that's how the last 15 days wrap up. 1 goal down. 14 more to go ;)

Another 15 Before 15 Update!!!

Guess what day it is?! Okay, I probably shouldn't ask you to guess since the answer is above ;) 15 Things To do before 15 update! Okay, so here's what's new. You can view the complete list and past updates here.

# 3 is to write 15 letter to my pen pals. I've written 1 more, so I'm now at 6

#5 is to write 15 short stories/poems, and I wrote 2 more poems for a total of 5

#7 is to paint my nails 15 different colors. I painted my nails coral a ton in the past 2 weeks, so I'm now at 10 colors.

#9 is to meet 15 new people. I joined a teen discipleship group with some girls at my church, and met 3 other people, so I've now met 9 new people in total.

#10 is to read 15 books of the bible, and I've read 1st and 2nd Thessalonians, so I'm now at 6

#12 is to make 15 bracelets and I made one with pine-green beads, so I've made 2 in total.

Some goals I still haven't touched! I should be more determined ;)

15 Things Before 15 Second Update!

Okay, so here's my progress for the last 15 days!

You can see the complete list here.

#3 is to write 15 letter to my pen pals. I've written one more letter, so I now have written 5 in total.

#5 is to write 15 short stories/poems. I wrote 2 more poems, 'Sunrise' and 'Nighttime', for a total of 3.

#6 is to make 15 desserts. I made some chocolate chip cookies which didn't rise, but they tasted good, so I now have made 5 total ;)

#7 is to paint my nails 15 different colors. I've painted them a really light shade of purple, bronze, creamy pink, and ruby red so I now have painted my nails a total of 9 different colors. I think this goal could be completed by the next update. LOL :)

#9 is to meet new people, and so I met 1 more person in my writing class at my homeschool group. I now have met 4 people since my first update!

#10 is to read 15 books of the bible, and so I've read two more. 2 Peter, and James so I now have 4.

#12 is to make 15 bracelets, and I made my first friendship bracelet in a long while. I made a tutorial for them I'll have to post sometime :)

The other goals have tragically not been touched in 15 days. I can't really touch 1 and 2 until my birthday comes and basketball season starts. 4 is kind of hard for me to complete right now as our piano has been acting weird and my guitar is sort of out of tune, but soon I hope to do some of that one. I usually read full books in just a day, but I haven't found any I like recently! Soon goal 8 will hopefully be started :) What's everyone's favorite books? I need some suggestions. I specifically think my favorite type of books is historical fiction, but any stories are good as long as they're interesting. :)

 Finally, I've been to lazy to attempt #13 ;) The others I haven't mention I've started already, but not done anything in the last 15 days with them.

Have a nice night everyone,

-Brooke

15 Things Update

 First off, thank you Emily for the Liebster Award! I'll make my post about that tomorrow.

 Well, it's been 15 days since I started  "15 Things to do before I'm 15" so today you get the progress report! Click here to see the complete list and summarized progress report.

3. Write 15 letters to my pen pals

I've written 4 letters to my pen pals Emilie and Heather so far. So only 11 to go!

5. Write 15 short stories/poems

Wrote 1 poem. I might have to share it on my blog sometime

6. Make 15 different desserts

The sweet things I have made in 15 days include homemade Frappuchinos, Chocolate cake, Cinamon-sugar soft pretzels, and chocolate chip cookies that decided not to rise... 

7. Paint my nails 15 different colors

So far painting my nails has been going the best on my list. I have painted them 6 different colors in 15 days including purple, light purple, sparkly hot pink, red, teal, and orange. Wow, I didn't know I painted my nails that much...

9. Meet 15 new people

So far I have met 2 girls at HEAT. Tieney (if that's how you spell her name) and Maggie who are both best friends. I also met 1 girl at Youth Group who I think is 17 maybe? So in all 3 people.

10. Read 15 books of the Bible

I have read 2 books so far including Titus and Hebrew. Titus is pretty short, but Hebrews was 13 chapters long or so... I've read about a book a day so far.

11. Draw 15 real people

Britt Nicole and Francesca Battistelli are my two. Let's just say Francesca looks TERRIBLE in my drawing, and so I really should redo her sometime...

14. Stay 15 days ahead in math for at least 5 days

SHOCKINGLY, I am 6 days ahead in math! That is an amazing thing for me to do in only 15 days. I must have had too much sugar these past weeks or something... I don't expect to get that many done the next week!

15. Try 15 new foods

I tried pumpernickel pretzel sticks which didn't taste great, but were okay. I also tried chilie lime crackers which tasted kind of weird. I had bean sprouts which I don't think I've ever tasted before, and I didn't care for either. Then I tried a liver patty which was DISGUSTING and I decided maybe I should take a break from trying new foods ;) ha ha. I think I just have been trying things I don't care for, so maybe soon I'll find something I like! I did also try these weird mini pickle which each pickle was like the size of a paper clip, and those actually tasted pretty good. :)

So as you can see, I have made some progress on my list. Oh, and today is officially 100 days till my birthday! So I think I'll be able to complete some of these on my list by then. Some of my goals I have not touched yet, but some of them are going well. 

XD,

Brooke

p.s. for those of you who don't know, XD is like a smiley face smiling soooo big, that it's closing its eyes. It also sort of-kind of means LOL, so it's a mix of stuff :)

15 Things Before I'm 15

I added a new page to my blog! CLICK HERE to see it. It's a list of goals to complete between today, August 13 and December 6, when I turn 15. I'm not going to stress over them, but I'm going to try to complete them! Wish me luck! On August 28 I'll post my first progress report to tell you how I'm doing ;)
Have a fabulous day everyone!
