30 Before 30

I like lists. I'll be 30 in 2012.

  26. Get a tattoo (maybe)
  27. [done Feb 2011] Go to the movies by myself
  28. Attend a Roller Derby match or El Circo Cheapo performance
  29. Attend a drum circle or bluegrass jam at Room To Move
  30. Donate blood
  31. Raise $1,000 for the American Cancer Society's DetermiNation program
Except for #24, I don't see why I shouldn't complete this list! (I'm really indecisive, so not sure I should get anything permanently inked on my body.) However, I will allow myself to edit this list until my 30th birthday. Only if something in my life significantly changes and something on the list becomes unreasonable.

Also, in a strange coincidence, I looked at the last 101 Things To Do in 1,001 Days list that I made ... today [6/24/10] was day 1,001! Weird. I did not finish the list. I don't even think I got half way through it. One of the items was "buy a house or townhouse or condo." HA! Good one. So I tried to make my 30 list all things I can reasonably attain, and don't require significant financial expectations that I may or may not achieve.

  1. Girl! Donating blood is easy-peasy!! 179th and Wolf Rd, has a great LIFESOURCE facility, and all the girls there: Judy, Renee, and Michelle are freaking great phlebotomists! You won't feel a thing! And you get points every time you donate, to buy stuff.

  2. I know! It's just getting up the courage to have a huge needle stuck in my arm and have blood removed from me ... we used to do blood drives at work but haven't in awhile. I'll get over myself eventually.

  3. You should think about adding a Ragnar to the list! Chicago's is this June, from Madison to Milwaukee to Chicago. Get 11 friends and go crazy over 200 miles and two days.

    1. I would love to do a relay someday but I'm already signed up for a half marathon that weekend. Maybe next year!
