Last week I turned 28! I spent my day shopping and eating burgers (a tradition!) and my evening at Locanda Verde with friends and family. When I turned 27 last year, I made a list of thirty things I want to do before I turn 30 years old and since my birthday falls so close to the New Year, the list doubles as my resolutions. Here is the list as of 1/1/12: Buy a house Add a little one to our family Visit 5 new countries (Mali, Senegal, Haiti, Ethiopia, 2011 — need one more) Run a marathon Be a vegetarian for a month Make one of my many business ideas finally come to fruition Be a vegan for a week Try snowboarding Host a big family holiday (Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc) (Christmas ‘11) Learn another language Drive across the country Play a team sport Fly first class Ride a horse on the beach Learn how to sail Perfect a very fancy and impressive dessert Consistently volunteer with a nonprofit Read 50 books in a year Get my hair cut short (chin length?), just for kicks Spend a week with no internet Sew something and actually use it (Union Jack pillow, 5/15/11) Pay off debt (Paid in full!, 9/1/11) Perfect a solid headstand in yoga Improve my photography skills to better capture my travels Summit the other four 5000+ foot peaks in New Hampshire’s White Mountains Summit Mount Washington in winter Attend a Patriots playoff game at Foxborough Learn how to make a perfect martini Complete a 30 day yoga challenge Foster a shelter dog Here’s to a fulfilling, giving, loving, healthy 2012!
