It's my birthday. Man, they always sneak up on me. I'm 29 years old today and becoming a thirty-something is coming closer every day. Everyone always says time flies but wow, it speeds up as you get older. When you're little and can't wait to do all the things grown-ups do, the time ticks by and you feel like you're moving at a snails pace. Well, now that I'm sitting here as a 29 year old(yikes), my snail has upgraded it's shell for a shiny new race car and we're speeding towards 30 leaving all those childhood dreams behind. So, it's true; life happens whether you're watching or not. It's not that I feel I haven't achieved anything in my 29 years, but that dream of what I will be and what I have become is very different. So, in honor of procrastination I'm taking on a little self-improvement task. This is my 30 before 30 project. I was inspired by another blogger, but the more I looked into this, the more I decided I want to do one for myself. So here's my list. Most of them are self-explanatory, so I'll save you some time and keep the details for later.
1. Start a blog
2. Write 3 letters about good service I've received
3. Visit Savannah, GA
4. Get a tattoo
5. Cook at least one new meal I've never cooked each month
6. Try one new restaurant each month
7. Read one book per month
8. Send birthday cards to friends and family
9. Run a mile in under 8 minutes
10. Stop making excuses for not going to the gym and go at least 3 times a week
11. Do 50 push-ups in one attempt
12. Lose 15 lbs
13. Spend a weekend without Internet or TV
14. Paint at least one room in my house
15. Keep my fuchsia alive for more than one season
16. Find a church that "fits"
17. Teach my dogs to sit and actually STAY
18. Get a job related to my degree
19. Get up to date on my scrapbook (that's been on pause since 2006...)
20. Recreate our wedding montage video (the one that died before being shown at the wedding)
21. Go to a drive-in movie
22. Shoot a gun
23. Try to make a baby
24. Volunteer 15 hours
25. Hit the 300 hoodie's sold milestone
26. Take a photoshop class
27. Learn to apply eye make-up correctly
28. Make a skin regimen to start preventing wrinkles
29. Make a budget and stick with it
30. Go out for New Years
I plan to use this blog to keep myself motivated and will periodically update my progress. I'm also going to make a big effort to post some meaning information here, so I hope you'll stay tuned.
Yay... Happy birthday to me :)
Happy belated birthday! Of course I didn't get to read this until today! :( I hope you had a special day, and hope we can get together sometime soon for a delayed celebration!
