Birthday List

So apparently, I am obsessed with lists.  This is not a new trend in my life though.  I have always loved lists, mostly the checking off part.  At any rate, I've been trying to come up with a birthday list.  I have seen them around a lot lately.


The goal is to come up with 25 things to do before I turn 25.  I would like to have the list made this as soon as possible, so I have a lot of time to accomplish my list.




1. Create my own calendar.  (I am really really picky about my calendars, so making one solves that problem)


2. Write down the recipes that I love on the recipe cards I made.


3. Perfect my granola recipe.  (I love granola, but my homemade granola needs some help)


4. Figure out the criteria Nick and I will use to buy a house (budget, appliances etc.)


5. Finish the blanket I have been crocheting for over a year. (Here's the deal, I got it just about done and then it started falling apart, like from the middle, so I gave up on it :(


6. Finish the Kingkiller Chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss (at least the ones that are out)


7. Get into a better workout or jogging schedule (three times a week)
     (after March and April, I think it counts as a schedule)


8. Try Yoga


9. Buy Big Boggle (for Nick, for myself, for fun lol)


10. Try string art


11.  Collect wine bottle corks and use them for a project


12. Watch all of Dawson's Creek 


13. Have a Star War's marathon


14. Blog 3 times a week for a whole month (I want to blog gobs and gobs but work has been getting in the way lately) (MARCH)


15. Go on a long weekend trip with Nick


16. Have a slumber party with my girls!  (it actually turned into dinner)


17. Go see 10 movies in the theatre
      (Reel Steel, The Three Musketeers, The Rum Diaries, Breaking Dawn Part 1, The Muppet Show, Tintin, We Bought a Zoo, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, This Means War, Safe House, The Hunger Games)


18. Research a new camera (Photography Blog has significantly helped me in my search for a new camera; however, for the time being I am going to stick with my old Canon PowerShot A540 and iPhone.)


19. Go kayaking


20. Sleep under the stars


21. Go to The Container Store


22. Get a Poang chair from Ikea


23. Crochet a baby blanket


24. Bake a new cake
       (Carrot Cake)


25. Bake three loaves of bread
      (Banana Nut Bread, Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bread)


26. Have more fun (not quantifiable but a good goal)
