Milestone birthdays...been awhile since I had one....now I am ready for the next.
30 doesn't scare me that much - but I have been saying for the last couple of years..."oh I want to do that before I am 30" or "I hope to be here when I am 30" you know? So with the help of some wonderful listeners, I have created a list of 30 things I want to do before I turn 30 on July 18th - my 30 before 30! Here it is:
30 BEFORE 30
- EAT A HABANERO PEPPER...OR AT LEAST TAKE A BITE
- DO A BACKFLIP ON A TRAMPOLINE
- GO BOATING ON LAKE MICHIGAN
- WATCH CITIZEN KANE (NEVER SEEN IT...TOLD I SHOULD!)
- DYE MY HAIR BLOND...ALWAYS WANTED TO DO IT!
- WATCH THE MUSICAL FOUNTAIN IN GRAND HAVEN
- GO TO A MOVIE BY MYSELF...FACING MY FEAR OF BEING ALONE!
- WIN A KARAOKE CONTEST - NOT MY IDEA
- GIVE BLOOD
- LEARN HOW TO PLAY TENNIS - SIGNED UP FOR LESSONS!!
- GET A PEDICURE - NEVER HAD ONE...NOT EVEN FOR MY WEDDING
- LEARN HOW TO BAKE SOMETHING THAT IS EDIBLE!
- MEMORIZE THE BOOK OF JAMES
- EAT AT FRICANO'S
- LOSE 20 LBS (NOT POSSIBLE IF I EAT AT FRICANO'S EVERY DAY)
- CUT, CLEAN AND DEEP FRY A CHICKEN
- MILK A COW
- RIDE IN A HOT AIR BALLOON
- RUN A MILE (WITHOUT DYING)
- COMPLETE A 4-5 STAR SODUKU PUZZLE (WITHOUT CHEATING)

Good for you Mandy! I think that is an excellent idea. I have some of the same "wants". I hope you meet your goal (maybe not the hamburger/peanut butter combo however). Keep us updated.
Happy Birthday???
Well, did you do all of those things? It was a mighty tall list.
Happy Birthday!
And good luck doing ALL those things in a single lifetime! I couldn't!
So...
How did You do?? Finish??
Mandy~It's o.k. if ya didn't get to all of it. We still want to read your blog.
You never posted any Pictures like you said, you were going to and you never crossed them off the list so we know what you did. You going to let us know or what? Please :)
Hello Mandy? You could change it to do before you turn 40! That sounds more "do-able". Please update us.
