I did it. I have finally completed (as in MADE) my Thirty By Thirty List – a list of thirty things that I want to do before I turn the big 3-0 on May 10, 2010.
Like I said in an earlier post, I heard about a co-worker doing this a few years back and thought it would be fun. Shelby was already making her list when I mentioned it to her, so it has been fun comparing lists. Some other co-workers have jumped on board, too. It is interesting to see what is different on each person’s list. I can’t wait to get started!
Without further ado, here is the list (in no particular order):
1. Change the oil in my car - completed
2. Run a half marathon
3. Start a Book Club - first meeting 3.2.10

What a fun/neat idea!! I should start making my 30 by 30 list--I'm a July birthday so I have a good 2 years to complete one...
Hey!You can accomplish one of those this weekend - pick up the tab for one of America's finest at Sheppard Air Force Base, Wichita Falls, TX! There should be lots of Airmen and/or Women at the restaraunt tomorrow!
