29 things I want to do before I turn 30 (in no particular order)
I could do 30, but let's be honest, I'll probably make it through about half of this list, if I'm diligent, so why set myself up for (worse) failure! But with no further ado, here you go...
1. Climb Mt. Washington - can be on foot or in a car, I'm not discriminatory, but I've lived here long enough that it's time to just do it already.
2. Have a BBQ in our backyard
3. Have my +1 party (finally)* (where all of my friends come over and bring a friend that they think I would enjoy knowing, but haven't met yet - also known as Jon's least favorite party idea ever...)
4. (Re)establish the Etsy shop that I've been thinking about doing for.ev.er.
5. Eat a really really tasty steak dinner, with a good red wine
6. Go away for a weekend or even just an overnight, sans kiddo
7. Make our own cheese
8. Complete a second half marathon
9. Build a snowman
10. Drink more water than coffee most days
12. Blog more often, and more regularly. If not blog, then at least write personally. Jon suggests I quantify this, so how about "more than once a month"?
13. Invent something - every Friday watching Shark Tank, I think... "I should do that..." Bam. 2014.
14. Have someone write a song for me **ahem** musically talented family
15. Begin the process of thinking about buying a house... and while not necessarily buying one, figuring out what comes next in our process, and maybe doing that? Like reading a book on it. Or picking a location
((this is harder than it looks to come up with... you should try being this goal-ish))
16. Read books regularly
17. Find a "chick flick" or "rom com" that Jon doesn't hate
18. Actually make one of the crafty ideas (not food, I do that all the time) that I pin on Pinterest
19. Watch past seasons of Modern Family
20. Go to either a Pats game or a Bruins game - filling out my experience of Boston sports. **Jon might have contributed slightly to this one, as I started running out of inspiration around #12.**
21. Make plans for Hendig #3 in 2015 - ladies, you know who you are, I'm looking at you...
22. Learn something new about myself (yes, I'm resorting to intangibles... I'm running out of ideas, but still want to make them realistic goals...)
23. Move out of my table against the wall (at work) into something that has walls (!walls!)
24. Roast marshmallows over a fire outside! And introduce S to s'mores! Urban camping, take 3?
25. Get the bed (and a bunch of other misc stuff) out of our dining room (into an intentional space)
26. Learn how to effectively remove stains from clothing
27. Send more letters and cards the old fashioned way, regularly
28. Take the GRE (pretty sure I said this last year too)
29. Return all the things that I've borrowed but forgotten (or failed) to return thus far.
.... and done. Remind me not to do this next year... :) Much love, as we begin year 30!
