*So... my birthday has come and gone. I was very close to meeting all my goals! I'm leaving this list here so you can see all my various adventures. Thanks for following along.*
Cribbed from Coach Pandamonium's blog, 30 Candles, I've decided to start my own list of 30 things I want to do/accomplish before I turn 30 (December 7, 2012). A sort of bucket list of ridiculously major and ridiculously minor things, this list is my attempt to turn on its head the idea of "I do not regret the things I've done, but those I did not do." I don't want to regret what I haven't done either, so... I'm going to do things! And then blog about them!
