30 before 30

This year I turn 30. I am one year younger than Nick (which I like to remind him) and have copied his idea of creating a list of items to complete before turning thirty. I made my list this past fall, and I am not doing very well. I must admit that turning 30 does not really seem to scare me at all. I still get carded (all the time), I love my hubby and baby, and I am still younger than Nick (see what I mean). So here is my list and what I have accomplished so far. You can see some are really simiple (read a book, go to the movies, go shopping on my own) but since having James even the simiple things have been more difficult to complete. I have until March to complete this list so need to get cracking:

1. Make Macaroons

3. Read a book

4. Decorate our Bedroom

New Year and old resolutions

2010 was a great year. No major life changing events, just enjoying spending time with family and friends. It was a year of James walking, talking and entertaining us nonstop. Finishing the guest bathroom from 2009's house project list and having a grown up guest bedroom. 2010 was also a year of voyeur blog reading. I discovered the wonder of Google Reader (I know, I am a slow adaptor). I started the year with full gusto for posting on No. 462 and commenting on others, but soon fell back into just scrolling daily through Reader. I often made list of items I wanted to post about, but never followed through. So for 2011, I am reusing my resolution last year to give No. 462 some love, prioritize my creative outlet and sharing with others I have been admiring from afar. We will see how long I will be able to keep this up, but I have my most faithful reader to remind me I am post due for a post (and to correct my grammar).
