since I have to turn 31 today...I've been kind of dreading it...or not really dreading it, but it just seems so anti-climatic after turning 30 and the amazing celebration Sean planned for me last year...AND I have to be a year older now. :)
So it occurred to me on the way to my classes yesterday that I could try to take charge of this whole 31st year and think of 31 things I want to do before it's over and I have to turn 32...
1. Turn off the TV a lot more (as mentioned in my previous post)
2. Read books...maybe I should make it a goal to read 31 this year? :)
3. Walk a half marathon
4. Be able to jog a couple of miles
5. Figure out more ways to make changes to our house that are better for the environment
6. Get ready for the second half of my bachelors degree...get my last semester at community college organized, apply to schools, and try for as many scholarships as I can
7. Eat five fruits and vegetables everyday
8. Get up to the Bay Area again
9. Really clean out and organize our linen cabinets
10. Finally organize my recipes
11. Start meal planning
12. Grow a flower garden
13. Start composting for our vegetable garden
14. Get caught up on scrapbooking and stay there
15. Clean out and simplify more around the house
16. Lose more weight...31 pounds sounds like a good goal
17. Clean and re-organize Sean's classroom (if he'll let me at it...I've always wanted to do it)
18. Go to three museums around Southern California
19. Be able to do 100 sit-ups
20. Finish crocheting the blanket I've been slowly working on since last summer
21. Sit down and take a good look at our budget and see what changes we can make
22. Try to develop another scrapbooking class (struggling with this one)
23. Get all our photos burned onto DVDs
24. Figure out something creative and colorful to do in our upstairs hallway
25. Help my cousins start to reorganize and plan the family reunions we haven't had for a couple years
26. Find more flea markets and antique stores to explore
27. Grow my hair out longer so I can donate it again
28. Try and learn more about editing photos
