THE '30' COUNTDOWN

Wednesday 7 December 2011

The List

Last week I had a milestone birthday - I turned 29 and a half! A milestone indeedy, because it meant the countdown was on, only 6 months to go until the big 3-0! Only 182 more sleeps till dooms day, the end of my 20's...........which got me to thinking - is there anything I wish I had done before the big day..........and with that thought (and my love of a good list), I knew it was time to put together the ultimate '20's Bucket List'.

I called on my friends through the wonderful world of Facebook, to hit me with ideas and suggestions for the list with 2 main rules / restrictions - one, it had to be cost effective as I'm currently in a mad savings frenzy for a Euro Trip next year, and two, I'm quite the wuss, so anything too wild and crazy was just never going to make the cut!

So after much thought, here we have it, the 'official' list! And as per number 11, we also have the blog!

 1.            Learn some French
2.           Be able to touch my toes
3.           Drink a Martini
4.           Dine at Aria
5.           Bake a Pumpkin Pie
6.           Learn to drive a manual car
7.           Read The Great Gatsby

9.           Make a Stoinker (cocktail) and then drink it!
10.        Put $50 all on red at the Casino
11.        Write a blog
12.        Eat breakfast at Tiffany’s
13.        Go to Luna Park
14.        Create a tradition
15.        Keep a plant alive

  1. Hey, there! Thanks for the comment on my blog. Love that we have the same idea and in a way get to go on the journey together...even though we are worlds apart. You have done good crossing things off your list! I still have to add a few things to mine. Best wishes and good luck! Enjoy!
