3 Months to the Day

3 Months from today I will turn 30 years old.  I have very seriously mixed feelings about it. 

Anyway, I thought an update on the 30 Before 30 list would be in order.  So here you go...

30 Things to do Before I Turn 30
(In no particular order)

1. Go Camping (it's been a while since I've been and I miss it...this trip should also include fishing because I like that too)
2. Learn to Tie a Tie
3. Go ice skating(I don't think I've been since I was 12)
4. Attend a yoga class
5. Get a spray tan (I've never been tanning- fake baking or spray tanning)
6. Eat Eggs (my mom doesn't like eggs so I've never really eaten them...but I should probably at least try them before I turn 30)
7. Compose a piece of music (It's been far too long and I'm feeling inspired)
8. Visit a State I've never been to
9. Stay up all night (it's been a long time since I've pulled an all nighter...but I think I'm up to the challenge)
10. Get a massage (Never had one...but I want one)
11. Learn to swim (laugh all you want...I doggie paddle...but I mean business now)
12. Kiss in the rain (there's a lot of back story to this one and I'm not going to explain it)
13. Brush up on my French (That would be the language...in case you're confused)
14. Take a tap class (I can tap, but I've never really taken a class. I'd like to take a ballroom dance class...but it's awkward when you go to those by yourself.)
15. Be able to do the splits (I'm actually getting really close...how many 30 year olds do you know that can do the splits?)
16. Watch 5 movies everyone quotes but I've never seen (there's more than 5, but I need to start somewhere)
17. Read 5 "Classics" (Cuz I want to feel literate)
18. Make 6 new recipes (I love to cook)
19. Learn a new car-related skill (as a single woman, I really should know more than I do)
20. Learn a new handy man skill (If I knew how to fix things I wouldn't have to sit on my washer during the spin cycle...on the down side...How do I coerce guys to my house if I know how to fix things?)
21. Learn a new computer skill (I'm pretty tech savvy...but I'm a nerd)
22. Go on a spontaneous trip
23. Make a 72 hour kit (cuz, you know, I should be prepared)
24. Wear a bikini (I never have and I if I'm ever going to, shouldn't it be before I'm 30...plus I'm working out and looking pretty hot right now)
25. Memorize 2 piano pieces (I don't memorize as much anymore...and I really should)
26. Try new dishes at restaurants (I have a tendency to just order the same thing every time)
27. Do something I've been too scared to do (I don't have anything specific in mind)
28. Go to a foreign Country
29. Get a stamp in my passport (I've had one for 4 years dang it!)
30. Have the perfect kiss (thank you FRIENDS for this idea)

As you can see, I'm about half way done.  I'm well on my way to completing several others.  There are a few I'm not sure how I'll accomplish, but I am quite determined.  And you all know what I'm like when I get determined.  Just try and stand in my way.
