0 Down, 30 To Go
In exactly two weeks, I will turn 28. That's almost 30. It got me thinking about all that I have done in my life, and all that I haven't. Over the next two years and two weeks, I hope to accomplish these thirty tasks. It's not that I'm not proud of where I am now - I've graduated from college, bought my own place (and a real, non-hand-me-down couch), I've been in love, I've learned to manage my crazy, I've lived in Europe, I've zip-lined and rock climbed and snow-shoed. I've been to Hawaii. I got into nursing school... But there's alot I haven't done. Thanks to my friend Rob, and his awesome 30x30 list, I've started my own. So, without further adieu, here's the list:

i'd be willing to join you on... #5-10, 13-14, 18-19, 22-23
ReplyDeleteNow you're making me brainstorm for 30. :) How about go see the Northern Lights in Alaska (even though you supposedly can see them further south - I never have). Or go have a vacation in Alaska where the sun shines 24/7. Or take a working vacation (i.e. where you go learn how to make wine). Buy an original piece of art for your home.
ReplyDeletebeen thinking... how about going vegan/veg for a month or 3 times a week or something? the best thing i've done since quitting smoking.
ReplyDeleteI can't go vegan.. Hello.. cheese! Liz, meet Samantha who commented above you.. she's got a great vegan cooking blog. http://www.noveleats.com/
ReplyDeleteSamantha - I'll need to accomplish #1 before any of the super expensive things you've listed! But great ideas!
I think I can help with #29 when I come up to NY in a few weeks. I'm one of the few that has survived a car ride with you and is willing to do it again. #4 can be thrown in there too.
ReplyDeleteAlso, #6, just not in a few weeks.
Love ya, dear.
Haha - I was going to suggest vegan, then I was like, yeah Christine's not really going to be too interested in that. Maybe for a day though? It could be 1/2 or 1/4 of #30? :)
ReplyDeleteOh and good point on the credit card thing. Now I'm going to have to come up with some inexpensive stuff!
ReplyDeleteI saw the Northern Lights when I was in Boston. I'm sure they would be more amazing farther north but they were pretty astounding as it was. As for being vegan, I wasn't able to accomplish it until I started eating all raw food.
ReplyDeleteSuggestions for #30: shoot a gun, take a dance lesson (tango/ballroom/swing/salsa), join a club, participate in a flash mob event (ex. Improv Everywhere or Zombie Crawl NYC), take a watercolor lesson, take a self-defense class, take a cooking class, visit all the NY art museums over a weekend, have lunch at Central Park, go to either of the NY Botanical Gardens (they have a pretty insane orchid show going on right now)
ReplyDeleteYou should add "trapeze class" to your list. I think they do that at the pier in NYC.
