30 things to do before I'm 31

I'd eat em if they'd let me

Dang, sorry I left that last post up for so long while I have been running around like a crazy madwoman dealing with my busy life. Let's get on with some more fun things. Like me. And my birthday! It's a "big" one today and I'm excited to enter into the next decade!

I feel like playing the "list" game again this year, so here goes!

30 Things to Do Before I Turn 31
  1. Eat at Bunk Sandwiches
  2. Refinish a piece of furniture
  3. Try at least 5 different food carts around Portland - (3 to go!)
  4. Take my son on a carnival ride
  5. Finish my tour of Portland's photo booths

An ambitious but do-able list! (Well, except maybe the one about Mario Kart...)

It will be fun to see how it all turns out!

Happy happy Birthday! Sounds like you had a fabulous day... and you share a birthday with my husband by the way. We had homemade cherry pie from last summer's fruit to celebrate. Yummy!

And I agree. It'd be sweet to meet up sometime. Let's work on it!
