30 Things to Do Before I Turn 31 Inspired by Kelly Sue DeConnick and her idea of the Uberlist, I'm putting together my own list of things I want to do within one calendar year.→[More:]

My categories are: Health, Family, Career, Finances, and Fun. I'm not ready to publish the full list yet (it's going up on my profile on September 19) because I'm missing some things.

So far, I've got 27 items on there; I need four more items to go to make a total of 31 things that I want to try and accomplish before September 20, 2008, and I can't think of any.

So here's where you come in... what would you like to see me do that will better myself or just be completely fun to do in the year before I turn 31?

I know that most of you reading this might not know me very well, so I'm not afraid of what you'd like to see me do because I know that any criticism from you guys would be constructive rather than destructive. Like, you won't hurt my feelings if you tell me to lose weight, 'cause I know I could stand to lose some pounds. ~~And besides, it's already on the list.~~

So... have at it!

I just bought a copy of "The Wish List" by Barbara Ann Kipfer on Amazon for a few bucks- it is full of fun stuff like this! I'm going to open my copy randomly a few times, and find you some things. Here I go....

-make coleslaw from scratch
-fly-fish the Yellowstone river
-explore the canyons, arches, and monoliths of Capital Reef National Park in Utah
-visit Buenos Aires
-arrive punctually for every appointment
-eat hot dogs and French fries at the original Nathan's in Coney Island
-visit the badlands of South Dakota
-set a record at the golf range
-paint my living room wall bright red
-use the good china every day

-make coleslaw from scratch

Can be incorporated into one of my items

-arrive punctually for every appointment

Hmm... a contender.

-eat hot dogs and French fries at the original Nathan's in Coney Island

Ate a corn dog, no fries... does that count?

-set a record at the golf range

Most amount of divots replaced?

Ha! I do one of these lists every birthday (32 things to do in my 32nd year, that sort of thing).

I did 17/32, and semi-did another 5. Will improve this year.

(one goal still unfulfilled: overcoming my fear of manicures and getting my nails done -- but not all of the list items are so shallow!)

I'll think about some for you.
