30 before 30

Even though I'm only 25, I feel like this whole list will be hard to accomplish in 5 years, haha.  Well, more like 4 years and 4.5 months.

I know some people have super meaningful 30 before 30 lists (go on a medical mission, read the entire bible, etc)... sorry this one is NOT.


30 before 30
{ 01 } Complete a 30 day yoga challenge.
{ 02 } Buy a house!
{ 03 } Go on an all-inclusive vacation - cruise? resort?
{ 04 } Go snowboarding.
{ 05 } Buy a pair of Louboutins.
{ 06 } Take a kickboxing class.
{ 07 } Move to Pasadena :)
{ 08 } Take a cooking class.
{ 09 } Go to an NBA playoff game.
{ 10 } Go to a Lakers game (again.)
{ 11 } Go to a Clippers game.
{ 12 } Change a baby's diaper (safer than saying "have a baby!")
{ 13 } Watch in person as UCLA wins an NCAA Championship (basketball, PLEASE!)
{ 14 } This goes hand-in-hand: Go to an NCAA basketball final four.
{ 15 } Go to Paris.
{ 16 } Go wine tasting in Napa (again).
{ 17 } Run a 5k (no walking!)
{ 18 } Eat at French Laundry (or any Michelin star restaurant)
{ 19 } Get tenured at a school district.  MUST do this before buying a house or having a baby!
{ 20 } Go to a day spa!
{ 21 } Eat vegetarian for an entire month.  This will be quite the challenge living with Darryl...
{ 22 } Learn how to make sourdough bread.
{ 23 } Help a friend with her wedding! -- this is mostly because I know how stressful it can be.
{ 24 } Go to Japan (again)
{ 25 } Go to NYC (again)
{ 26 } Go to Chicago
{ 27 } See Adele sing live
{ 28} Learn how to shoot a gun.
{ 29 } Watch all of the movies nominated for Best Picture one year (JUST for one year.. not every single one ever, haha).
{ 30 } Make it a point to get together frequently with the important people in my life -- I'm super anti-social, so this is a challenge.

Fake calligraphy

Wedding preparation has been in FULL swing lately!

1. Been doing the Insanity workouts to get in shape - lost 5% body fat, but have not lost weight... thanks for growing, muscles?

2. Making escort cards.



3. Addressing the wedding invitations.



4. Setting up meetings with wedding vendors.

5. Finishing up the menu and program design so I can get it printed.

All of this wedding preparation stuff has made me want to become a "fake" calligrapher (I don't know how to do legit calligraphy cause I don't want to spend money on the good pens) or something for a side business... will it happen?  Maybe..
