Thirty-One and a Half!

Let's take a look back at my 30 Under 30 List and see how I've done:

30 Things to Do Before I Turn 30

  1. Shoot a gun/take shooting lessons.
  2. Learn French. Working on it! It's definitely coming along.
  3. Take tap/ballet classes. I accidentally stumbled into a cardio dance class at the gym, too embarrassed to leave, I did the whole class. I know this doesn't count, but it's something.
  4. Go to a casino. Yup, for my bachelorette party - Atlantic City (2010).
  5. Do Bike NY again.
  6. Take a photography class/digital camera class.
  7. Have a full spa day. Pretty much - the day before our wedding I spent a good amount of time at the spa.
  8. 100-mile bike ride. Who put this on here!? Is this REALLY something I want to do. See #26.
  9. Visit Canada. No. My husband went to Montreal for his bachelor party, at least I got to a casino for mine and checked off #4.
  10. Buy real estate. Check.
  11. Visit Michelle and Monica in Jacksonville. Check. Check. I visited them twice.
  12. Finish reading And the Band Played On. I didn't even let myself rent the movie because I was still convinced I would finish the book. And since I wrote this list, I can add probably 5 more books that I didn't finish. Fail.
  13. Go to a taping of SNL (or another decent late night show).
  14. Own at least 15 of my favorite movies on DVD. I think I may have bought ONE dvd since I originally wrote this. Fail.
  15. Get frozen hot chocolate from Serendipity.
  16. Take a cooking class.
  17. Visit Mom/Dad’s place in Burnt Store Marina. Check. Just briefly, but it still counts.
  18. Treat my family to dinner. Check.
  19. Finish a Sunday crossword puzzle. I finish crosswords all the time. I'm not sure why I went so ambitious with this one. Check.
  20. Take Pilates classes. I took a few hot yoga classes. Does that count for something??
  21. Frame travel photos/hang travel photos. Check.
  22. Go cross-country skiing. Check.
  23. Pay off one loan.
  24. Watch all 3 Godfathers.
  25. Learn stick shift.
  26. Run a 5k. Check. Check. Check. Check. Check. I ran several 5ks AND a 10k, and a 5 miler, AND a half marathon. Thankyouverymuch.
  27. Get a job. Check. And it's kind of the greatest most perfectest job ever (Remember, we're suspending disbelief when I make up words like "perfectest").
  28. Visit a new wine region. Check. We went to Burgundy, France on our honeymoon. AND we went to Reims, France, which is the region where they produce champagne. Check.
  29. Blog more frequently. I'm blogging right this very second. That must count for something.
  30. Read A People’s History of The United States. No, but I did borrow a book like this from my co-worker. Did I finish it? No.
Maybe I should make a MUCH MUCH shorter list of things to accomplish before the end of this year.

I would still like to:
1. Shoot a gun.
2. Go to a taping of a late night show.
3. Watch all 3 Godfathers.
4. Get a frozen hot chocolate from Serendipity.
5. Rent And the Band Played On.

Who's going to help me with these??
