30 for 30
Inspired by Steve, here is a list of thirty things to do before I am 30 (July 27, 2009.)
I started this list in 2007 and didn’t complete the list, let alone the things on it. In other words, I’ve been fucking the dog. That was my dad’s favourite saying.
Here we go.
1. Lose 30lbs.
2. Run like the wind….
…or around Boulevard Lake without dying. (That’s about 5km for non-Thunder Bayers.) Join the Running Room. (I drive by it daily; it shouldn’t be hard to enter.) Take a class for women only.
3. Grow some balls and lose the anxiety. Find some self-esteem.
4. Make a new friend who is awesome.
5. Find a job that I actually enjoy.
6. Visit my family in Saskatchewan and Alberta. I have not been there in seven years.
7. Catch up on Parker’s scrapbook.
8. Learn to sew something.
9. Mail out Christmas and birthday cards ON TIME.
10. Get a dog. Name her Kiki. Dress her up in clothes and teach her to line dance.
11. Finish guitar hero/rock band on HARD.
12. Read all the books that I pretended to read in high school. The list includes; The Great Gatsby, The Scarlet Letter, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Fifth Business, Pride and Prejudice, and Lord of the Flies.)
13. Visit sarah the pirate in BC. Find myself and take pictures.
14. Zero credit card debt.
15. Reduce, reuse, recycle, compost and shut off lights when I am not in the room.

17. Be the best mom I can be. Get that kiddo reading. Coach teams. Don’t miss a field trip. Dress up for Halloween. Learn to swim and skate so I do not make a fool out of myself. Love, Love, Love.
