*I’d like to make an amendment. Jenny pointed out to me that I do not have 4 1/2 years to do this, but 3 years and 9 months. Not only am I getting older, but apparently my math skills have already gone out the window.
Apparently if you’ve yet to reach 30 this list is a must do. I had never heard about it until my friend April wrote about it. It seems like a good idea. A good way to put on paper some of those things that I want to do, but just haven’t gotten around to it yet.
I have 3 years and 9 months 4 1/2 years before I’m 30…that seems a reasonable amount of time for my list. I’m a little shy to share this, because some of the goals are not known beyond my immediate family. So a bit nervous to expose myself to others.
Just don’t laugh…please.

What’s on your list? And, do you have any suggestions for my 30th item?
By the way, if you’ve already pasted 30 there’s still 40 before 40 or 50 before 50…or even 100 before 100. There’s something for everyone!

Crap it, Jess. Now I’m going to HAVE to do this…and I have less than three years! Bah!!!! I better get crackin’! Hmmm…what do I want to do???
PS- You don’t have 4.5, my friend…oh no, you’re getting old, just like me. You have 3 full years, plus around nine months. Yes, yes…welcome to the world of feeling old(er).
Well…apparently I am getting old, because I can’t count or add or whatever. I acquiesce, I am getting old!
You should totally do this!
Haha, loved the comment about the math skills…I’m working on my list…but it’s kinda hard!
Ahhh….bummer. I already hit the BIG 30. I’ll try the 40 before 40 list. If my math is correct, I have 9 years and 2 months.
