NOTE: This year has gone by and I am working on yet another list! Well, another birthday has gone by and I woke up this morning and discovered I was 37 now and needed a new yearly list.
I discovered two major flaws with my last list. First, many of the items required large amounts of money--classes and trips don't come cheap! Second, I picked some things that I really didn't have much interest in doing. I thought I might have interest in doing them (build a birdhouse, take a yoga class) and it turns out, gee, I really don't have an interest in them!
My new list has a few old things still on it: A few are in progress (designing a tattoo, planning a trip overseas, finishing novel) but are not quite there yet. And throw a dinner party for 20 was so fun, I want to do it again! And running the half marathon is still there because I am still healing my injured ankle!
Remember, I got this idea from Michelle My Belle and she got the idea from Hula Seventy.
And here I go!

Happy Birthday Jennevieve! Great lists and fabulous crown...
ReplyDeleteIf you need an accomplice for #11 or #16, I'm in. (I would like to retire on Vashon--spent gobs of time there. Could also retire at Theo Chocolate Factory...have spent some time there as well ;)
I would also like to collaborate on a trunk show (#27) at my shop if you're interested.
#29's a hoot. Took them with my mom in the 80's at the old Elks (soon to be McMennamins)
#32 I finally made out of old sentimental bits. It is by far the thing I get the most comments on.
#33 makes me feel good. It's one little thing I can do without much time or effort. Could also save someones life. Plus, they are just so nice at the Blood Bank.
My birthday is 11/7...I am going to go work on my list now. Thanks for the nudge.
Have an audacious, ill-advised flirtation with someone much younger?
ReplyDeleteJust thinking outside the box here.
Happy birthday, Jennevieve! I´ve linked your new list too. There are some really great ones here. I want to make a statment-necklace too! ;-) Just out of curiousity... reading your comment above here... do you have a secret admirer? ;-)
ReplyDeletehappy birthday first of all!
ReplyDeleteand second, your list is AWESOME!
i think i could almost just copy the whole thing for my own. we're kindred spirits i think... except, i'm a Canon girl. ha!
haha! Not sure about the secret admirer! This is my "public" list. My "private" list might be another story!
