30 before 30

A working list of all things I want to do in the next 2 1/2 years. I saw a friend post one on her blog and it seemed like a good plan. However, I can't come up with 25-30. Any suggestions? (Please don't say have a baby, that's AFTER all this...) It might not all happen before 30 but hey, at least I'm thinking about it.

1.    Get a masters degree
2.    Publish a short story
3.    Publish a paper in a nationally-recognized journal
4.    Run a half marathon
5.    Go to Europe with Todd for at least 2 weeks
6.    Get to a healthy weight and maintain it
7.    Finish my wedding album
8.    Adopt a puppy
9.    Get promoted to manager
10. Get on a nonprofit board
11. Present at a conference
12. Get accepted to the PA honor society
13. Sing karaoke
14. Perform stand-up
15. Try roller derby
16. Learn to screenprint

18. Bake an apple pie from scratch
19. Create a spending plan
20. Put old photos into albums
21. Save for a house

23. Pay off all credit card debt
24. Learn to Sew
25. Learn to drive stick
26. Pay one persons' way each week (could be dinner, could be lunch, could be the toll for the car behind me)
27.
28.
29.
30.

  2. GIRL, you have never gone to karaoke? When I come back Labor Day weekend, we are going. We will also bake an apple pie. That's two off your list in a day: success.

  3. Nice one, Vivian! I will eat the heck out of that pie.

    How about adding:

    Read the entire Harry Potter series (so you can follow what your nerd of a husband is talking about).

    and

    Learn to drive stick-shift.
