To Do

I’ve been working on a list of “30 Things To Do Before I’m 30″.  It was the suggesting of a dear Dallas friend.  (and this is in addition to the YOS)

I’ve listed some things that I’ve never done and some things that I want to do again.  Also…I didn’t make it to 30.  I quit at 23.  Maybe I’ll add more later, but I didn’t want to start putting things on the list just for the heck of it…so for now, 23 it is.

1. Leave the country

2. Host(ess) a formal dinner party

3. Have all of my laundry clean at once

4. Ride a horse

5. Go an entire month without eating fast food

6. Actually use those reusable grocery bags

7. Lose weight (oh my this is getting embarrassing)

8. Make homeade bread (need to find other people to eat it if I wish to accomplish #7)

9. Learn to like coffee.  Like a grown-up. (not sure this is possible but I’m going to try)

10. GET A PUPPY (ANY PUPPY)

11. Waltz, preferably with a single man that I find interesting but if I get to Nov. 09 without accomplishing this one I’ll settle for a quick trip around my parents living-room with my step-dad.

12. Run a 5K

13. Cook a whole fish

14. Find a valid reason to buy a new LBD (little black dress) If this could be combined with #11 that would be nice.

15. Sew curtains

16. Fly first class

17. Successfully grow vegetables

18. Work out.  And I don’t mean once.  It will only count (I’ve decided) if I do it four days per week for four months straight.  Scary thought. (Side note: My gym serves pizza on Monday nights.  Jerks)

19.  Win a poker game (Okay…so I didn’t win a poker game exactly…but I did win money playing blackjack in LV!)

20. Buy a laptop

21. Enroll in a college class

22. Cancel all of my magazine subscriptions.  Wasted paper, wasted money,  and wasted time. But I love them. I’ve been meaning to do this for a while.

23. Learn to carve poultry.  Did I cook the Thanksgiving turkey? Yes I did.  When it comes to pulling the bird apart I have no clue.

24.  See a show on Broadway.

25.  Buy a new suit.

26.  Take guitar lessons
