Wanna know why? Because I kicked some serious butt at the gym this morning. Yes, yes, I know, one good workout does not a Sydney make, but I'm on my way.
Also-- I'm holding out for a Scott Foley or Michael Vartan or even Ben Affleck. I can't believe I put B.A. in the same category, but you know... I've decided to date and marry hot.
And most importantly, I keep thinking about JenGar's role in "13 Going on 30" when the little girl wishes to be "30, Flirty and Thriving." Don't get me wrong, I'm all about enjoying the 2-9, but you know, it won't be long before I'm there, so I started to compile a list of "30 Things to Do Before I Turn 30." It actually needs some work. I'd rather not post every goal, but here are some things I think I ought to tackle in the coming year:
1) Get back on a horse. No, I'll never be a horse-lover, but I haven't been on a real horse since I got thrown as a Brownie. So I'd like to try riding again. I used to really like it when I was a little girl, and so the time has come.
2) Run a race. Any race. Let's be honest-- I hate running. I'm so much happier on the elliptical, but I'm trying to love running. And even if it's just a 5k, I wanna do it.
3) Host a seven-course dinner party for 10 of my closest friends.
4) Use up all the stuff in my craft closet. All of it! I've got too much junk-- it's like Michael's and Hobby Lobby combined, and I want to use it up and move on to other things.
5) Finish a draft of "The Hands Which Hang Down"-- the novel in my head.
6) Sell my creations and refurbished furniture at a consignment shop to supplement my income.
See? I'm definitely a little shy on the life goals. As I said, I've got a few others for the year, but I won't bore you with the really personal ones. But I'd love some suggestions for really cool things to augment my year. Comment away!
These are great! Set small daily goals for finishing that novel so it doesn't seem so intimidating.
ReplyDeleteP.S. And don't you be stealing my man Michael V! :)
ReplyDeleteYeah!!! I love this list and I love that you are reunited with your FRIEND the gym. I think the trainer that I met yesterday summed it up for me pretty well. He too is a runner, but he said "I don't love running, but I love how it makes me feel afterwards". Ditto! I know that some people feel the same way about the gym. Anyways, longest response ever but if I was back in NM, I'd give you a high Ten! Keep up with that list! :)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I forgot another big one--
ReplyDelete7) Try being a vegetarian for a month.
Seriously, it's not something I really think I'd want to do long-term, but I like the idea of a challenge. I'm thinking June will be my meatless month, just for a change of pace.
