My birthday was in the beginning of October, so this list is coming out a little bit late.. but you have to forgive! October was completely filled with doing things for the weddings that I was unable to put this list up until now…but better late than never! If you know me well, you know that I’m a huge fan of lists. I love all kinds of lists. Grocery lists, to-do lists, a list of pros/cons when making a decision, weekly goals lists, etc. I decided to put together a list of things I want to do before my next birthday! I’ve been brainstorming these for the past few months but finalized it today so I thought I’d put it up so you guys can keep me accountable. I’ll be posting as each goal of my list is reached! (Side note: Many of these have been inspired by my friends who have done these things and blogged about it.) Alrighty– here we go..
My 22 things to do before 23.
1. Make chili out of scratch on a rainy day (Inspired by my friend bChao, actually)
2. Take a cooking class with a friend.
3. Learn how to do latte art
4. Run a half marathon (or something of that nature)
5. Host a dumpling-making party
6. Cook something with my husband
7. Learn a recipe from Eugene’s grandma
8. Discover a good chinese eggplant dish that Eugene will like
9. Learn how to juice (with my juicer) and juice as much as possible!
10. Make cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning
11. Host a spring roll party for some of my girlfriends
12. Make my own pizza
13. Make deep-fried ice cream
14. Give a gift to a stranger
15. Invite a co-worker over for dinner (either mine or Eugene’s)
16. Make a scrapbook
17. Start a tradition with Eugene
18. Start a recipe binder
19. Take a bike ride with my husband
20. Host a cookbook party
21. Do a cleanse (and actually follow through with it til the end!)
22. Drop off baked goods to someone not expecting it
Since this list is going up near the end of November, I jipped myself a month. Poop. Hopefully I’ll be able to accomplish all my goals by the next October. Cheers to a successful year! :)
Give thanks: time to recover, time to plan, the gift of encouragement, time with my mom & katherine, the hour I can spend with Eugene at night amidst our crazy work schedules, praying with Eugene
