The 28 List

 

Here we go again, another list of items I'd like to accomplish before my next birthday.  Normally I write this list a couple days before my birthday, and have it completed no later than midnight on the sixth.  This year, I just didn't plan it into our weekend getaway, and I wasn't into letting it stress me out.  So, today I sat down to complete my list of 28 things I will do before I'm 29:

1. Get to my goal weight, and stay plus or minus five pounds of it.
2. Create three new recipes each month.
3. Lay on a sandy beach, soaking up the sunshine.
4. Travel to three cities I've never been to.
5. Go on ten walks with Sandy.
6. Enjoy a couple drinks out with Justin once a month.
7. Travel to Toronto.
8. Head down to the States at least six times.
9. Eat at five never been to restaurants in town.
10. Go to a brewery.
11. Read ten non-fiction books.
12. Travel by myself out of town.
13. Stay in Waterton for a weekend.
14. Go ten pin bowling with Justin.
15. Find a duvet cover I like and buy it.
16. Tube down a river.
17. Go on ten day-trips around Southern Alberta.
18. Take up knitting.
19. Travel to Vegas (again).
20. Enjoy breakfast out with Justin once a month.
21. Go on a little weekend vacation to Banff.
22. Travel to Vancouver (again).
23. Head out camping for ten different weekend trips.
24. Go on a little trip to the States with my parents.
25. Eat on restaurant patios at least five times this summer.
26. Try twenty different brands of wine.
27. Create a solution in our closet for hanging my scarves and hats.
28. Go on a wintry vacation, and actually enjoy the beauty of winter.

There we have it.  I really think most of these, if not all of these, can be accomplished.  At the very least it gives me something to strive towards.  Really, I just  threw that Toronto one in on a limb!  I love how most of these things are what I loved doing this past weekend with Justin, just relaxing and enjoying each others company.  Stay tuned to see how many I can get crossed off my list this year.
