Holly’s 30 By 30
All the cool kids are doing it, so I will, too! The list itself is still in progress, but as I come up with ideas and/or complete them, I’ll update the list! Some things are fun, some are things I want to get in order as I get more “adult-y,” and others are just things that I want to do, just because!
- Read Pride & Prejudice (completed, but I don’t remember when. Oops!)
- Read Jane Eyre (completed February 2014)
- Learn to tie a French knot (an embroidery knot that I just cannot figure out no matter how hard I try!) (completed 12/14/13)
- Watch the Star Wars trilogy (my boss almost disowned me when he realized I haven’t seen the movies) (completed April 2014)
- Watch the Lord of the Rings trilogy
Visit New ZealandThis one is put on hold due to changing travel plans. Instead, I plan to re-visit the UK, a little later than my birthday!- Fill up my current passport and get a new one (completed March 2015)
- Complete my Get Your Sh*t Together checklist (GYST is a website dedicated to helping people prepare important documentation [like a will] to be prepared in case of emergency or disaster. It’s certainly not something I want to have to think about, but it’s a step in the right direction toward “adulthood.”)
- Finish knitting my Ravenclaw scarf (completed July 2014)
- Eat at Pizzeria Lola and/or Pizza Luce (completed October 2014)
- Get another tattoo (completed May 2015)
- Take a Facebook hiatus for at least one month (inspired mostly by this post, completed 1/22/14 and again March/April 2015)
- Go to at least two breweries in the Twin Cities (completed October 2014: Dangerous Man, Indeed, 612Brew, Rock Bottom, Great Waters. April 2015: Bang, Urban Growler, Tin Whiskers, Bent Brewstillery, Wabasha, Burning Brothers, Flat Earth.)
- Make peanut butter ice cream (completed December 2014)
- Go to Canada (completed June and August 2014)
- Learn to brew loose-leaf tea (I chicken out even though I have a tea ball- I’m too scared to try it!)
- Attend a concert (One Direction: July 2015; Legend of Zelda Symphony: October 2015)
- Make at least ten recipes from America’s Test Kitchen/Cook’s Country (completed)
- Go to the dentist (despite opting-in for dental insurance two years ago, I haven’t gone. Oops) (completed September 2014)
- Eat at Mac’s Fish & Chips (completed many times over!)
- Eat at Mickey’s Diner (completed 12/27/13)
- Get in shape so that the clothes I own now fit again (I realize this one is a bit vague, but I don’t want this blog to become a weight loss blog and I also don’t care about the number on the scale- I just want my clothes to fit!)
- Listen to at least one audiobook (completed July 2015)
- Go to Chicago again (completed!)
- Complete a Minimalist Game month (completed August 2014)
