30 in 30

 

It's my birth week! And as you know, I'm embarking on not only a new year, but a new decade. And what's a new year without resolutions? I made a few, to be specific, I made 30. Thirty health, travel, house, fun, and money related resolutions I would like to accomplish this year.

I invite you to follow me as I kick this bucket(list) off.

1. Become a Runner
• Not a May-to-October Runner
• Run at least one 10K and five 5Ks
• Panther Run: 10/5/13
2. Touch my Toes
• Yes, that is correct. I can not and have not been able to touch my toes my entire life
• Attend twice-a-month yoga and twice-a-month barre classes
3. Eat More Whole Foods
• Limit grocery store food purchases to food with less than 5 ingredients (most of the time. Follow the 90%:10% rule)
4. Limit Meals out to Four Times per Week
• Not gonna lie, I'm leery of this one
5. No Purchasing of Shredded Cheese
• It goes with number 3... just more specific
6. Prevent Skin Cancer
• I spent my first (almost) 30 years avoiding this. It's time for sunblock, sunblock, sunblock
7. Continue Not Washing My Hair
• I'll explain later
8. Bi-Monthly Massage (at least)
• What? It's totally doctor prescribed
9. Visit Nisch and Natalie in NYC. Like for real.
10. Get Scuba Certified
11. Go on a Weekend Roadtrip with the Girls
12. Go Hiking at Whitaker Point
13. Buy a Big Girl Dresser
• I've been living in crates like a college-kid for my entire adult life. It's time to quit buying clothes and finally buy something to put them in.
14. Weed it Out
• Take care of my lawn and get those darn weeds (and poison) out. Sadly, I'm willing to kill it all. Muhahahaha.
15. Seal Leak in Basement
16. Get a Bookshelf
17. Finish Bedroom Basement
• Paint
• Bed frame
18. Get Internet at my House
• Well, maybe not. I'm still toying with this one.
19. Finish those Stupid Antlers AND Hang Them
20. Make a Tres Leche Cake for my Birthday
• Okay, this is a bit of a cop out... but I need something to scratch off immediately!
21. Go on a Game Show
• Even if it's a dorky Branson one.
22. Perfect the Art of Making Plantains
23. Play an Entire Round of Golf
24. Print my Instagram Prints
25. Eat At... (this list could grow)
• Iguana Roja
• Cafe Cusco
26. Make (and stick to) a Monthly Budget
27. $$$SAVE!$$$
• And not for trips! I need a new roof and a new car soon... but still put a little money away for Bali 2015
28. Decide on a Rotary Club
29. Decide on that Doctorate
30. Be More Creative
• How? I don't know. But once a month, I will do something creative. Writing, painting, drawing, crafting, etc. Look out Pinterest! Here I come! Jay slash kay. I'm not joining Pinterest.

So there she be. The KG 30 in 30. Let's kick the tires and light the fires, big daddy, it's showtime. I don't know how that applies, but it sounded better than "Time to start crossing items off the list."

What is on your list? Would you like to join me? C'mon. It's a really long list. We can divvy it in half. Okay, fine. I made this list, I guess I have to lie in it.

Or something along those lines.

Now excuse me, I'm off to buy ingredients for that cake while I can.
