I'll be turning 30 in just over a month and in honor of that auspicious occasion, I've made a list of 30 things I want to do before I turn 30 and exit my twenties forever. It should be noted that I totally stole this idea from Joy over at Joy the Baker.

Buy ONE fabulous dress for myself to wear to my 30th birthday party. Send TWO of my favorite books to two people. Visit THREE new restaurants. Send flowers to FOUR people I love. Tip FIVE dollars above average. Send SIX handwritten letters. Leave SEVEN lucky quarters on the ground. Give away EIGHT cupcakes. Enjoy NINE sunrises with coffee. Take TEN pictures with actual people in them. Read ELEVEN poems and share them. Compliment TWELVE friends and strangers. Cook THIRTEEN amazing meals to share. Give away FOURTEEN things I don't need. Donate $2 each to FIFTEEN things I believe in. Go for SIXTEEN sunset walks - rain or shine. Try SEVENTEEN different ice cream flavors at the ice cream shop down the block. Give EIGHTEEN gifts - small or large to people. Pick NINETEEN different things up from the farmer's market. Take TWENTY minutes each day to write and relax. Make TWENTY-ONE phone calls instead of emailing. Take the TWENTY-TWO frozen bananas in my freezer and make something out of them. Think of TWENTY-THREE things I am thankful for each day. Make TWENTY-FOUR actual prints of photos. Find and share TWENTY-FIVE new songs. Make TWENTY-SIX handmade cards. Find TWENTY-SEVEN things I've never done and do them! Turn TWENTY-EIGHT thoughts from negative to positive. TWENTY-NINE days before my birthday - do something I've always wanted to do. Enjoy a THIRTY dollar bottle of wine.

Do you have an idea for me?
