Today I turn 29. That magical number that a large group of women use as the last stop in the aging process and my last year as a twenty-something… I feel pretty neutral about it. Maybe because for about a year I was in a fog, I feel younger than my age. Not in the sense that I feel immature or don’t want to get older, I just feel like I am still stuck at 26. I am hoping that changes over the next year. By this time next year I want to FEEL 30. I want to embrace my age and move forward. In this spirit I am going to initiate a project. Starting today I am going to try to get 30 things accomplished before I turn 30. Below I will make a list, by May 7th, 2014 I want to check at least 30 things off the list. I want to accumulate experiences.
1. Run a 5k
2. Eat only organic/unprocessed for at least 1 week
3. Take a new class at the community center
4. Make something my daughter can keep forever
5. Go on a date
6. Volunteer in the community
7. Apply for a dream job, even if I am not completely qualified
8. See a professional ballet performance
9. Get in the best shape of my life
10. Buy a new car
11. Give myself a makeover and try a more standout lip color
12. Try to get something published (a short story, article or poem… maybe a Lifetime original script ;) )
13. Have a savings account with at least $1500 in it
14. Sell a painting
15. Record a song, even if is just for me to see/hear
16. Adopt a pet
17. Get a tattoo
18. Have my first mammogram
19. See a dermatologist and have my freckles checked
20. Print out my pictures and make a family photo album for Nugget and I
21. Go one day without spending any money, maybe two
22. Visit Disney or other major theme park
23. Try to be an extra in a film
24. Audition for something
25. Take Nugget to her first baseball game
26. Buy myself good piece of jewelry
27. Make myself a piece of jewelry
28. Write letters, by hand, to friends that have moved far away
29. Make a music video with my Daughter
30. Learn to drive a stick shift
31. Learn a foreign language, enough to have a simple conversation
Any other ideas? I like having choices!

Happy Birthday !!! :)
Happy Birthday.
Go a month without meat.
Do a randon act of kindness once a week and don't tell anyone what you did.
Make a small donation to a random person in need once a month.
My birthday is tomorrow! I will be 32... When I turned 30 a had a similar list. I got that tattoo! (yikes) and I also saw an off Broadway show (must have this on your bucket list), and went white water rafting! (eek)
Add one of those to your list...
Now, I just need to figure out the skydiving thing!
