25 before 25

July 20th, 2010

I actually got the idea from here where she had a thirty before 30 list. I liked it, because it’s an accountable way to keep track of things you’d like to do. I’d really like to do a list every year of things I haven’t done yet or would like to do. Without further ado, here is my list of twenty five:

  1. Write a book
  2. Learn how to use Illustrator
  3. Buy really nice makeup
  4. Donate enough clothes that they fit in the closet and drawers
  5. Remodel Whimsy Flavor in order to incorporate the features I want to have available
  6. Go to the Columbus or Cincinnati zoo
  7. Take a week vacation with Steve
  8. Camp in Gatlinburg, TN
  9. Go hiking in Hocking Hills
  10. Help one student to choose engineering
  11. Start my Masters
  12. Get flooring done on first floor
  13. Fly a kite
  14. Finish my tattoo
  15. Win a beautification award for the front yard (hopefully in spring next year)
  16. Pay off 30% of my student loans
  17. Get a hot tub
  18. Paint trim upstairs
  19. Get a car parked in my mom’s garage (I love you, Mom!)
  20. Get a photo of my grandma, mom, sister, and myself
  21. Be published
  22. Get a family photo of Steve, myself, Elway, and Tito
  23. Throw a wicked cool Halloween party
  24. Make a set of cards for all events, so that we have them on hand.
  25. Fix my desktop computer, so that I can use it again instead of the laptop.

Whew! So, that’s my list, and I’m excited. Making that list took me a while, but it caused me to think of things that I wanted to do but could easily put off.
