time to turn another year older!
last year, when turning 25, i made a lot of lists of 25 in celebration. i mean, 25 -- that's a big birthday, right? and plus, i love lists :) the last list was a list of 25 things to do in my 25th year. while not everything got accomplished, it was a good project. it made me think outside the box, outside my comfort zone.
so i've decided to keep it going. some of the things i had on it last year are going to be repeated, because i do want to do them, i just either couldn't or didn't last year.
and here it is:
26 things to do this year
1. read all the books on my shelf i've never read
2. learn to sew -- which should be much easier this year, since i have a sewing machine now...
3. learn spanish (or at least, start to)
4. send more cards to people
5. read through the parts of the Bible i've never really read before
6. cook with 5 spices i've never used before
7. memorize scripture! (starting with psalms)
8. cook at least one meal from each continent
9. try again to learn to crochet
10. learn about growing herbs (and maybe start doing it!)
11. try to get a lot of my student loan paid off
12. go on a trip to somewhere i've never been
13. make homemade applesauce
14. make my 1st year teacher scrapbook
15. make my israel scrapbook
16. do karaoke??
17. go to the ballet
18. watch at least 10 movies i haven't seen off of afi's top 100 movies list
19. read the books on school library journal's top 100 novels for kids
20. learn to make crackers
21. braid my own hair
22. make my own whip cream
23. give myself a real manicure/pedicure
24. give away clothes/things i don't need
25. read at least 12 of the books on modern library/ radcliffe publishing house top 100 lists
26. "to act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God"
i will try to be better about posting updates and letting y'all see how things are progressing this year, since i wasn't so great about it last year!
