On the eve of my tenth birthday I remember walking home, wondering if life would be any different with my age in double figures. Waking up the next day and taking the walk to school, I realized everything remained the same. Ten year old me probably imagined I would feel different turning 28 with all the responsibility being 28 entails - things a ten year old probably couldn't really comprehend. Now that I'm 28, yeah nothing has really changed.
In a little under two years, I turn the big 3.0. The least said about this is probably for the better. But at least Joe reaches that dizzy height in little over 6 months so he can tell me how scary it actually is. Anyway, I thought I'd jump on the old *insert number here* before *insert age number here* wagon and have myself do some challenges.
And I actually came up with 30 of them;
- do a 365 photo challenge
- visit falling waters (pa)
- decorate the bathroom
- establish a butterfly garden
- read 101 books I've never read before while doing my yearly goodreads challenge
- complete a blog every day for a month challenge
- get my own blog url and prob change the blog name again
- strip wood paneling from the back room
- reach 1000 blog readers
- learn to drive
- visit the motown museum
- read gone with the wind
- get business cards (for blog and/or store)
- visit cedar point (oh)
- learn to knit
- try 10 new (to me) whiskeys
- visit canada
- get another tattoo
- bake something using pumpkin
- get the house wallpaper free
- grow and eat something from my veg patch
- embrace a more organic/green eating, products and lifestyle
- try at least one new recipe a month
- crochet a new blanket
- add 10 new pieces to my embroidery hoop wall
- put up a bat box
- make a wreath
- add 20 vintage powder compacts to my collection
- successfully grow a plant from a cutting
- work on self confidence // self love
None of them are out of the way things, hopefully things I'd be achieving anyway, this is just a way to remember what I want to have achieved by then. I want my list to be realists (like no "visit 5 countries" because lets face it, I don't have the money to do that).
Two weeks into life as a 28 year old, I'm already still on task with my photo a day challenge (basically disguised in my instagram uploads), I have a plant growing from a cutting (yey), I've read one new book (The Lodger) and tried three new recipes this month (including the raspberry cake - my late birthday cake) already.
No doubt I'll be blogging about them over the next coming two years and I'll actually get around to ticking off a few of them!
