My birthday is coming up...on the 20th!!! And I'll be 32! I don't feel 32. And no, I don't feel older! I feel like I'm still in my 20's. I know I've grown as a person, but because I'm pretty low-key gal, I feel like life is about the same as it was. I don't know if that makes any sense without further explanation so I'll leave that alone for now.
I've decided to make a list. A list of 32 things (in honor of my 32nd birthday) I want to do before it gets terribly cold. So Nov. 12 is my cut-off. That's 60 days from tomorrow (if I did my math right, counting tomorrow). So I'm about to come up with 32 things I want to do by then. I don't care if I do them by myself. I'm at that point in my life where I'd love to hang with friends and do them, but if not, I want to do them anyway. May sound lame to you but oh well. Ready????
1. Go to the reservoir and watch the sunset (and of course take pics).
2. Get some new pictures of myself! (Ha ha!)
3. Go to the zoo.
4. Read two books.
5. Read my Bible everyday...even if it's just a few verses (which is why I'm going to participate in Good Morning Girls).
6. Not complain about ANYTHING for a week (this could be a challenge some days).
7. Write an inspiration note and leave in a book for someone to find.
8. Find a personally inpirational quote and work it into a piece of art or scrapbook page or handmade card.
9. Take an online photography class.
10. Write some bad memories. Shred the paper and throw them away. They'll no longer be a part of my life!
11. Clean out my closet.
12. Write a letter to myself to open in 10 years (assuming I can find it then).
13. Send 5 friends real letters...snail mail style!
14. Actually put money in my savings...and leave it!
15. Pay for someone's drive-thru order that's behind me.
16. Send my Aunt Bettye a card.
17. Take ONLY my Bible and notebook with me to a beautiful, quiet place to read.
18. Don't text while driving for a week straight (I've got to break this habit).
19. Do a puzzle. A big, cool puzzle! (Which means I need to buy one!)
20. Reread "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." I gotta be ready when part 1 comes out in November!
21. Eat out on my deck. I cook out there but have never eaten out there.
22. Start a prayer journal.
23. Start a savings for a new car (I still have a few years on the loan I have but I want to be better prepared next time).
24. Go to that Christmas store in Michigan. What's it called??
25. Go to IKEA. Man, I love that store! I could definitely get some good Christmas presents while I'm there!
26. Go one week without fast food.
27. Go one week without buying anything but essentials at Wal-Mart (this could be a huge challenge).
28. Surprise someone with cookies and brownies...for no reason! And include a note!
29. Design a new wedding invitation for Heavenly Creations.
30. Plan a handmade Christmas gift for someone.
31. Play board games one night! (This one will definitely have to be shared with someone else.)
32. Listen and do something for someone who's unsuspecting...without giving them my name. It could be simply leaving them a note of encouragement. Or buying something they need.
Please encourage me to do these things!!!!! And I plan to keep you all updated!!!

And the games... we should so do that!! I have been wanting to play a couple games lately, but just never take the time.
You have inspired me! I need to do this kind of list of things to do before I turn 28 in just over 6months!
:o)
That is a great list!! Good luck with it!!!
