Well my husband always teases me that if I were to have an alias, I would be known as the 'Listmaker'. What's wrong with lists I say???
So here is one of my latest: 30 Before 30
I turn 30 in September 2010, and have decided to make a list of things I need to do, want to do, and dream of doing before I hit the big 3-0. Hmmm I wonder if I can think of 30??
This post will be edited to keep it all in the one place, so keep an eye out for updates!
30 BEFORE 30
1. Write my Will - Not a very exciting one, but a neccessity, especially now we have children
2. Go Horseriding - A major part of my youth, riding a horse is something I miss terribly, and have not done for many, many years
3. Go Rollerskating - Those who know me will be very surprised at this one (hey I surprised myself!) but in my younger years I actually did posess enough balance and coordination to rollerskate! We used to hoon around the streets of the big KA on our skates even!
4. Take a Cake Decorating Course - making birthday cakes for my kids has sparked an interest
5. Get my vegie garden going - One of those things I've been meaning to do for several years but never have
6. Take the kids on a family holiday - ohhhhhh dear!
7. Re-do my Senior First Aid Certificate - another thing I really should have done by now
8. Re-qualify my Austswim Swimming Teachers Qual - Ditto above
9. Lose the baby weight - no big surprise here
10. Complete the ''Couch to 5k Running Program'' - http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml
11. Learn Fencing - I mean the foil and epee type, not the ringlock and coppa log type! This one might actually have to be post 30, or at least most moving back to a town that offers such things!
12. Start a Worm Farm - thanks Carey :)
13. Find a fail-safe, idiot proof cake recipe - Yep, for a real cake, made from scratch, not from a packet (thank god for Greens Cake Mixes!) I have never, ever successfully made a cake on my own. Oh the shame....

Lain, silly question but dont you turn 29 in September 2009 like all of us or are you a year older? Are you having the same problem as liz? she thinks she is already 30! I'think you'll find that you might have an extra year to achieve everything!!!
ReplyDeleteIf I had a horse, I would invite you for a ride but unfortunately I am in the same situation! When I sort something out, or if you want to go when you are next up, I can organise something. And I'll make sure it isnt one of those crappy bush rides with terrible horses maybe a lesson? - my shout!
On points 1 and 7 you should definately do both. You can do a 30 minute on-line first aid course - its not the same as senior first aid but at least it will get you thinking about it.
You should add start a worm farm to that because it will help you start your veggie garden and the kids will just love the worms!

Oh dear, I am aging myself before my time! Maybe I just feel 30 already?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteLove the worm farm idea, I'm adding it!
Definately up for a ride sometime, give it a few months yet tho :)
