| Feels a little like this... |
Now before you start that "Ohmygosh you're still so young!"... "Wait till you hit 50!"... "Girl you've got a whole lot of life before you!" pep talk, let me just say... I am fully aware that being less than a year away from 30 is in no way, shape, or form a tragedy nor does it make me eligible for assisted living or adult diapers. Quite the opposite. And I have, in fact, very much relished in the celebration of the anniversary of my birth or as I oddly refer to it sometimes, Uterine Emancipation Day. I look around at all the freakin' fabulous people in my life and think GODDAMN I'M LUCKY! Seriously.
In the spirit of keeping things interesting. I have concocted a list of 30
Without further ado... Joanna's 30 before 30 list:
- Shoot a gun
- Finish a quilt
- Have a dinner party and use my wedding china
- Get glasses
- Sew something I can wear, that is not a costume, start to finish
- Finish Rosetta Stone Spanish
- Take ballroom dance classes with Jason
- Paint/Revamp a piece of furniture
- Read at least two books off of the Time "10 Greatest Books of All Time" list
- Watch 12 movies from Roger Ebert's list of Greatest Movies: The First 100
- Learn how to use power tools
- Volunteer for 30 hours
- Learn to play one song on my guitar
- Add 30 new albums to my vinyl collection
- Ride a horse
- Frame and hang 10 new photos
- Go see a musical
- Decide on a new go-to cocktail and master the making of it
- Take the train to Hanford and get ice cream at Superior Dairy
- Change my last name on EVERYTHING (drivers license, passport, social security card, pay check, bank accounts, etc. etc. etc.
- Try one new recipe a month
- Feed a giraffe
- Donate blood
- Mail a secret to Post Secret
- Take a self-defense course
- Get my wedding dress cleaned and properly stored
- Sleep under the stars (no tent) for one night
- Learn to BBQ
- Buy an original piece of art and hang it in the house
- Become a REAL baseball fan, completely understand the game and know the history.
Cheers,
Joanna
