63. Learn one new word a week and use it-
contumacious
PRONUNCIATION:(KON-tuh-may-shuhs, -tyoo-)
MEANING:adjective: Stubborn, insubordinate.

76. Read 15 books (one every two months) (5/15)
I finished reading Skinny Bitch by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin. It was ok..... but it was mostly just a book pushing people to be vegan. Nothing wrong with that of course, but it's just not for me.
Next up: The Wedding by Nicholas Sparks! :)
87. Try 15 restaurants I have never tried before (one every other month) (7/15)- I tried a new chinese restaurant called Mandarin Garden at 19th and chestnut. It was pretty good!!
