For years now I have run alongside my dreams, watching their every move, and hoping someday when I turned 80 I would look back and find that I had actually jumped in and lived them somewhere along the way. Today I'm starting this blog.
What better way to start something than with a to-do list? I actually hate most lists, because they are usually filled with things that I don't want to do. This one, on the other hand, is a list of things I want to do before my next birthday, called "28 things to do before I turn 29." But, to be fair, I had better pro-rate my list since a good part of my birthday year is already over.... 'cause I'm a little obsessively perfectionistic like that. But I'll spare you the math equation.
"15 things to do in the 55% of the year left before I turn 29"
- Blog at least once a week
- Eat yogurt at one of the new homemade yogurt places in town
- Go sledding with my 2 year-old
- Enlarge and frame one of my own photographs
- Read three books on my to-read list
- Create at least one original artwork
- Refinish or paint one piece of salvaged furniture
- Go to this flea market
- Buy a perfume I like
- Plan a surprise for my husband
- Do this photobooth
- Go to an Omnimax movie
- Talk to some of my favorite bloggers about their blogging experience
- Work out at least once a week
- Carry my camera with me at all times

surfing around and saw you on Hula! Congrats for starting! It took me a long while too!
I read your list and I have also put on my summer list to find a new perfume that I like ...still haven't found it but I recommend you try this one : Un jardin sur le Nil by Hermes - it smells very sexy and like lemons..
Cool i found myself reading your blog. I can help you scratch off three things on that list! Inquire within..
That is a strinkingly beautiful reflection!
What a great list. I need to do something like that for turning 29. I mean 43. But I like saying "turning 29" better. :D

I hope it will be for you too...looks life your off to a phenomenal start. Please e-mail if you need any help or support...it can feel daunting at times!
oh MAN! I wish I did that for my thirtieth this year. *sigh* Oh well, I guess I can do the "55% left before I am 31, this is what I should do.." list.
Yep, congratulations on starting a blog! I read today's (Aug 29th) and thought that this had been a well established blog. Nope. You're just a natural!
I need to start carrying my camera around too.. there are so many things I have missed even since I started a blog.. which wasn't all that long ago either..
(sorry, I write books instead of comments! I hope you check out my blog!)
good luck! you're successfully added to my blog list.. I'll keep an eye out for you!
