It’s been about a month since I came up with my 35 for 35 list. This is a list of things I’d like to do either before I turn 35 or during my 35th year. Here is the list and what I’ve accomplished so far.
1-9. Numbers are people. Actually it is a short list of people I’d like to have lunch or dinner with. They are friends I don’t see often and people I’d like to get to know better. A few are bloggers friends.
10. Lose 24lb. by my birthday. See my SMART Goals
11 & 12 are both home repairs. I need to fix my sidewalk and I’d like a ceiling fan put in my bedroom. I’ve wanted/needed to do both of these repairs for a while. Home repair makes me feel stressed.
13. Get a boyfriend. See my SMART Goals
14. Pay off a personal loan by my birthday.
16. A monthly Spa Treatment (facial, massage, body treatment)
17. Get up to drinking a gallon of water a day.
18. Buy myself a nice piece of jewelry
19. Get myself fresh flowers every week
20.Go to a Sixers Game
21. Go to an Opera
22. Plan Chasing Joy Charity Event
23. Move my blog to word press
24. Go to the Holiday light show and events in Center City
25. Drive through a neighborhood that does the Christmas Light Display
26. Get a new computer
27. Visit a new church
28.Go to the aquarium
29. Visit the DC monuments & attractions.
30. Write 1st draft of Chasing Joy Book. See SMART Goals
31. Plan a fun birthday party.
32. Go to the zoo.
33. Go to a Hockey game
34. Find a Volunteer opportunity that I like.
35. See the Lion King
Out of 35 two are complete. Numbers 1 to 9 on my lost were different friends I wanted to meet up with. I did hang out with one a few weeks back. It was great catching up. Now to make plans with the other 8 friends.
Number 27 on the list was to visit a new church. I did that last Sunday and it was good. While my faith is strong and my values are good, I do struggle with the act of going to church. I am happy that my experience at the new church (new to me) was good and I am planning to attend again.
So that’s 2 down and 33 to go. Have you ever made a list of things you’d like to do by your birthday? What were some of the things on your list? Did you accomplish them all?
I have spent some more time practicing the piano this week, so that is one goal that I am doing better at!
I should also make a list of people I want to invite over for dinner. That's a great idea.
