30 Before 30… (A Second Update)
I have been hard at work crossing things off my list before January 14, 2011 rolls around. I have discovered a lot about myself in the process, but I still have lots to do.
1) Go back to Australia for New Year’s Eve This is still in limbo, but I am thinking that I will return in 2012. Instead I am planning a girls trip to the Dominican.
2) Visit Ghana again - Just planned my trip back to Africa this September for two weeks!
3) See an elephant in the wild - This will happen in September!
4) Take a yoga class I learned that I suck at all things yoga, but I will likely give it another go soon.
5) Run a charity race (maybe a half marathon)
6) Take a cooking class
7) Meet Miike Snow and see them in concert
8) Grow my hair well past shoulder length
9) Play/finish a song on ‘Hard’ in Rock Band - Done and I failed so bad at this task, but I still did it even if I scored an 11%.
10) See the Tim Burton Exhibit at MOMA. Sold out until it closes. In my defense, I was supposed to go, but the person who originally agreed to go with me was ‘Alice in Wonderland-ed’ out. Instead last week I went to an exhibit with some street cred: Mr. Brainwash/Bansky It even included a Katy Perry sighting.
11) Get my first tattoo I still love it. No regrets!
12) Put on the Ghana Benefit Concert
13) Start selling the charity bracelets for Ghana. Need to find another designer. The original guy who made my samples is now involved with Charity: Water and doesn’t have time for our little engine that could.
14) Host a Clothing Swap
15) Finish decorating my bedroom
16) Print/Frame old pictures
17) Visit a winery – Yeah for July’s trip out east!
18) Cook dinner from scratch for someone special I think I am a damn good cook if I do say so myself.
19) Visit the Getty
20) Rollerblade in Central Park
21) Have a picnic on Governor’s Island
22) Go to a Yankees game in the new stadium Thanks to Alissa! Yankees lost, but we had good beer and steak sandwiches.
23) Get something fabulous from renttherunway.com and wear it somewhere special Have you ever wanted to feel like a million bucks? Then you have to do Rent the Runway! I tried ago for a birthday celebration followed by a Bachelorette party in Miami. I got just the reaction I was hoping for when my date goes ‘You look hot!” And in Miami when I ended up next to a Supermodel in my (rented) Herve Leger I felt so pretty! Worth every penny!
24) Visit Brooklyn Botanical Gardens for the Cherry Blossoms The cherry blossoms bloomed super early this year, so when I got there for the festival I was too late. It was still worth it. I got some really great pictures that are going to be framed.
25) Pay down all my bills - ALMOST there. I will begin 2011 with zero debt. This is going to feel very good!
26) Go to a horserace, in proper horserace attire of course. - June 27th can’t get here soon enough!
27) Redo my resume
28) See all of the Best Picture Academy Award Nominated films
29) Start my new blog
30) Lose 20 lbs – A little over halfway there. But with the help of a friend moving here next month I am determined I will make it, even if it does take a few Blueprint Cleanses.
