30 before 30

Technically I should have written this list on August 14, but I recently saw something like this posted on another blog and figured I should try it out.  I'm a little bummed that here we are January 14, exactly 5 months after my birthday.  I've already missed almost half of a year but I'll see how I can do anyway...

Had I actually written this on my 29th birthday I would have included:

• 1. run a half marathon (No walking!)- (10/2/11)
• 2. get pregnant-(10/10/11)
• 3. have a baby

Here are some things I am thinking of now:

• 4. spend the weekend at a bed and breakfast
• 5. make a snow angel (bonus if I can get Kiel to make one too)
• 6. take at least one photo a day  
• 7. blog at least 2 times a week
• 8. have a girlfriend sleepover (cheesy movies, magazines, facials, junk food)
• 9. have a real spa day (massage, pedi, facial) (bonus if I can get at least two friends to join)
• 10. take a yoga class
• 11. go to an off broadway musical or play with Kiel
• 12. read the Hunger Games
• 13. go to a paint bar or take a ceramics class
• 14. try acupuncture, see a chiropractor, or try some other form of alternative medicine
• 15. try at least one new recipe a month (preferably from Yiayia's cookbook)
• 16. do something nice for a stranger
• 17. not check facebook for a whole day
• 18. go vegetarian for one week
• 19. relearn how to crochet from Yiayia
• 20. have at least one "extreme couponing" shopping trip 
• 21. organize my filing cabinet, and then file important documents at least twice a month
• 22. visit an animal shelter and "babysit" a dog for a day (or at least a few hours)
• 23. go fruit picking (other than apple)
• 24. start a garden and/or a compost pile
• 25. start researching and documenting my genealogy 
• 26. go on a whale watch
• 27. finally see a shooting star
• 28. do one crafty thing each month
• 29. send a message in a bottle
• 30. buy a nice camera and learn how to use it

Had I not been pregnant writing this I probably would have included some adventurous ideas like

• go parasailing 
• go zip-lining
• go white water rafting
• try an exotic food 
• go on a tropical, all-inclusive vacation
• get back down to 8 minute miles (7:30 would be even better!)
• go ice skating on the pond behind my house

(Perhaps these can be used for my 30 during 30 project)
