As many of you know, my husband ran off and joined the Army (well, just the Army National Guard) and will be heading to basic training this fall. Inspired by a friend’s similar project and a desire to keep busy, I’ve decided to complete a list of 31 Things to do before I turn 31. I’ll officially start in September, but am so excited I may just start tackling them now!
1. Join Toastmasters.
2. Go to yoga at least twice a week for a month.
3. Walk, bike or bus everywhere for a month.
4. Start a worm bin.
5. Take the motorcycle endorsement course.
6. Can something.
7. Dress up in disguise and go out.
8. Dye part of my hair a funky color.
9. Make soap.
10. Go dumpster diving.
11. Do a long detox.
12. Go out dancing without social lubrication.
13. Build something made of wood.
14. Crochet a shawl.
15. Go to the Everglades.
16. Read Walden.
17. Try out hooping.
18. Go to a raw foods restaurant.
19. Take a trip by myself.
20. Go to a Quaker meeting.
21. Make a souffle.
22. Go to a contra dance.
23. Learn to french braid my own hair.
24. Go to a rock climbing gym.
25. Sew a dress or top.
26. Go skinny-dipping.
27. Publish a simple e-book.
28. Create a timeline of my life.
29. Write a book proposal.
30. Silk screen something.
31. Take a hot air balloon ride.
I'll try to tackle 2-3 a month, but may be more focused this fall while Greg's gone.
Thanks to Colleen for this great idea! I know that others have started their own lists, so I can't wait to see what everyone will accomplish this year.
