Published by admin at 12:35 am under Miscellaneous

I’ll be continuing the “thirty” theme until my birthday tomorrow, after which I’ll return to normal posting. In the meantime, this is a list of 30 things I must do before I turn 50. (I was going to make it 40, but I can kind of already feel 40 breathing down my neck if you know what I mean…)

  1. Visit the 16 states I’ve never been to.
  2. Build a snowman.
  3. See the Northern Lights.
  4. Sit on a jury.
  5. Visit the Louvre.
  6. Learn to tango.
  7. See the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona.
  8. Visit the pyramids and the Sphinx.
  9. Learn to rollerblade.
  10. See Mt. Rushmore.
  11. Ride a bicycle built for two.
  12. Kiss the Blarney Stone.

    I recommend not bothering with number 19.

    I’ve been past Stonehenge more than a dozen times by car and I assure you that group of rocks is as dull as common sense would suggest :P

    more for the REALLY, PEOPLE?! HOW DID YOU DO THIS which it triggered in my head than the sheer spectacle of it all.

    I’ve done a few of these…but I am totally intrigued by the pyramids and I’d love to stomp the grapes for wine…I think that would be so worth it!

    Um, can I come over when you cook the Beef Wellington? I’ll teach you how to knit……………

    Also? Sign me up for the Northern Lights and the Blarney Stone. :)

    You won’t be disappointed with #16 (Visiting the Vatican). It is breath-taking, especially the Sistine Chapel!! Make sure you plan plenty of time to see it. My husband and I had only a day to visit Rome (for our honeymoon), and that was way too short.

    I would probably want to join you on all these things (well, except for a few)!!

    Great list! I can’t wait until you start checking things off!
