I decided the other day that I should create a list of 30 things that I wanted to before I turn 30. The list is still under construction...I'm having a hard time coming up with 30 things I want to accomplish. As of today...I only have 143 days to get all these accomplished. There are only 109 days left...as of July 23, 2011.
There are only 62 days left...as of September 8, 2011.
1. Set Up A blog....complete.
2. Post once per week...work in progress. Getting a bit better...Still working on this.
3. Finish my black and green hunter star quilt. Haven't touched this yet. No progress has been made.
4. Lose 30 pounds. I'm down about 5...so on my way. No comment.
5. Spend 30 minutes playing with Sarah everyday. Getting better at this...it should get easier now. This was a great idea...especially now that Playschool has started.
6. Finish my cappucino quilt.Haven't touched this yet. Nothing yet.
7. Book my birthday trip to Vegas...this is not looking good...too many bills...never enough money. ???
8. Pay myself $30 a week into my saving account....see number #7. ???
9. Take at least one picture of Sarah every week. I've got the camera sitting on the counter, and have taken some pics with my iPhone when I have left the camera at home. LOL...I seem to take clusters of photos but I think I have met the once a week goal!
10. Connect with 6 lost friends...this is going better. I have connected with two old friends. More to come in August...friends I miss you. :(
11. Finish setting up my office. ...haven't made much progress on this front either. We sorted a bunch of boxes and now all that's left is to de-cutter my desk.
12. Set up my craft area...since this one is dependant on #11...it's stalled too.
13. Start & Finish a quilt from my stash. This one is iffy...I made 3 baby blankets from my stash...not really sure if that qualifies but I used some fabric out of my stash...so I think it should.
14. Read a classic. I purchased Anna Karenina...and am slowly working my way through it. I am still on the exact same page as before.
15. Buy myself something sparkly for my birthday....see #7. ???
16. Take a tour of a winery. Mom and I will discuss this one tomorrow...its almost summer vacation so this one is definitely doable. Didn't get this one done...but I've still got 62 days.
17. Try 15 different types/brands of wine.Now here is one that I have made some progress on. I will comment on in a separate post. This has morphed into 30 different wines by 30..see the post here.
18. Watch all 6 Star Wars movies....good thing I still have 109 days to get this one done. I'm thinking we just need to schedule a marathon weekend.
19. Have a date night once a month....this requires someone to date. So it is being changed into Have a Mommy Night once a month -- this means...I get to get a sitter and go do something entirely for me. Back to date night...still working on this one.
20. Make Sarah's birthday invites....This one I completely failed on. Work, life, and Canada Post all got in the way.
21. Mail/Deliver Sarah's Birthday Day invites.....This one I completely failed on. Work, life, and Canada Post all got in the way.
22. Set up an RESP for Sarah. I am going to try to do this one on Monday...the plan is to take the money out of her piggy bank to open it. Need to get coin rollers to roll all the coins in it. Missed that bank appointment...need to book another one.
23. Turn my cellphone off for an entire day. Accomplished!!! I turned my cell off while we were out camping during the Canada Day long weekend. It felt soooo good. Have done this several times now...the family much appreciates have my undivided attention.
24. Take Sarah to the Calgary Zoo...the plan for this one is on our way back from summer vacation. Accomplished...watch for a Zoo post.
25. Make a meal entirely from scratch....this one will wait for a day that I have had the chance to visit the farmer's markert. Thought I had this one done...until I realized that I used a baguette from Costco to make my crustinis...drat!!!
26. Drink 6 to 8 glasses of water a day. I have discovered this one to be easier than I thought it would be. Using a water bottle makes it easy...so does not drinking pop. Bought a stainless steel water bottle...love it!
27. Make homemade popcicles. this has been designated a summer vacation task. Done!! Sarah and I made popcicles with our ZOKU popcicle maker...now have like a million ideas to try.
28. Go on a picnic....again summer vacation or something to do with friends. We hit Jacker Parker spray park two weekends ago...it was an awesome last minute picnic that was perfect!
29. Fly a kite...summer vacation. There is either too much or not enough wind!!!
30. Workout three times a week....not making any progress on this one. I'm getting maybe one workout in a week...grr.
YAY update!!
ReplyDeleteYour list is inspiring! I'm happy to hear about the water goal - I found it SO much easier when I had a 'pretty' water bottle to use.
Can we discuss wine? It's been a while since we've drank together, and I wonder if our tastes have changed. We should send eachother challenges (like: go buy X bottle of wine from Y winery and report back to me)
