30 days from today, I officially make my (not-so-grand) entrance into my 30's.
Where the LL Cool J did my twenties go??
In hindsight, I must say that I definitely took my twenties for granted. The "twenty-something" life has been great, but I thought my twenties would have more to show for itself. Maybe a small part of me thought my twenties would never end? Yes, I know the difference between twenty-nine and thirty is minimal... but the bottom line is, being twenty-nine means you're still in your twenties, and being thirty catapults you into an entirely different category! The days of checking the "25-29" age group box are gone. I am now bundled into the "30-35" category... *sigh*
Looking on the brighter side of this... event, I have decided to make a bucket list of 30 things (in no particular order) that I look forward to checking off in my *ahem* thirties:
1) Get outta debt
2) Start a family (eeek!)
3) Learn a new language
4) Learn how to swim (Don't judge me! I'm from California...)
6) Work in a spa as an LMT (Licensed Massage Therapist)
7) Take the NCBTMB exam and get nationally certified in massage and bodywork
8) Go back to school and become an Acupuncturist

There you have it.
My bucket list of thirty things I look forward to tackling in my... *ahem* thirties.
I won't go into detail about them now, but I'll be sure let ya'll know when I cross one of the list :)
*whew*
This list should keep me busy in my... *gag* thirties...
It's a GOOD thing I'm giving myself 10 years to complete it...

eeek...is it that soon already. Well sis, you don't look a thing close to it!!! I have to agree to no. 3 & 5 on your list. I don't know how to swim neither... Maybe we could do it together so that you're not the only oldie there! Lol. Let's get together for lunch/dinner to catch up one day. I've missed you. :)
nice! now i feel inpired to come up with a 31 item list to complete in my 31st year... even though my year has already started.
as for excel, i think it should be learn "more" of the functions. my coworker had a book on excel over 2 inches thick. i think it'd take until well into your 40's to learn all that rubbish.
what exactly is wrong with the miata? if its fixable...i might want it...one day...maybe
#5 is done. congrats! one down... 29 to go!
