Hey all!

So I'm trying to jump on the ___ before ___ thing and use it as a way to get back into blogging as well as try some new things! I had planned a fun, eventful year with lots of new adventures and October just hit me, with nothing accomplished! My birthday is in about 2 months and I need to get cracking!

I had so many wonderful ideas all spring, summer and now I can't think of any!
I'm looking for some suggestions, I know this is kind of a personal list but I'm open for any idea! Also - what are YOUR lists to get done before your birthday, or just in general?!

Here's my baby list so far!
1. Make my own chai tea blend from scratch if possible
2. Do a food challenge at a restaurant!
3. Successfully bake something (my baked goods taste amazing but look like a trainwreck!)

Have you heard about the Day Zero project? The idea of it is to make a list of 101 things to do in 1001 days, though I think you can customize those numbers to reflect your goals. Anyway it's a cool way to be held accountable for your dreams. If you're stuck on ideas they even have an idea generator here http://dayzeroproject.com/ideas/

I've got 372 days left and I've only done 21 things, but I don't feel badly about that at all. I can't believe some of the things on that list that I accomplished (move to a foreign country, get freelance photography work) and even moreso the things I accomplished that aren't on the list. It's also interesting to see how your goals and dreams change in that time.

I like thinking of a really big goal or skill or accomplishment that you'd like to have under your belt in, say, five years... and then break it into the small, immediate steps/goals that you'd need to start off with now. (E.g. Big goal = live Spain for a year --> current list item = start taking Spanish classes at the local university.) And there's your list!

Ooooh, that Day Zero project looks awesome!!
I just signed up and the idea finder is awesome! Thanks!

I also really like idea of breaking down big goals (I really don't have any yet, working on it though!). I'm pretty excited =] Do you guys have lists or blogs for the things you've done ?

I like that idea! I would love to live in the US one day...I'm from England so no worries on the language ha!

Step one, save up some cash...

Step two, have a few holidays there, I'm going to Miami next April

Omg... a Chai tea blend from scratch sounds amazing Chelsea!

I don't know if this will help, but here's a sampling of my own personal bucket list:

1. Swim with whale sharks on the Great Barrier Reef, pet a dolphin, dive with narwhals in Newfoundland (Hey fellow Canadians!)

2. Write a short story, novella, novel and non-fiction book and have them all published.

3. Write and direct a movie.

4. Volunteer at a wildlife/nature preserve in Africa.

5. Take a solo trip to NYC

6. Visit the Frida Kahlo Museum in Mexico.

7. Go to Bora Bora and relax in one of those over-the-water bungalows with a hammock above the water.

8. Purchase a house in Salem, Massachusetts.

9. Become an important member of the Pagan community, teach classes and own a witchy shop.

10. Learn to surf, preferably in Hawaii

25 while I'm 25!

So, when I started this blog I planned to do the whole 101 things in 1001 Days thing.. well I have done a fair bit from my list but alot of them don't interest me anymore so I am not too into it now. I think 1001 days is such a long time and 101 things is so many things! Sheez! So, back in April I turned 25 and I know that was months ago but whatever, I make the rules. So here is my new list.. 25 things to do when I am 25 before I am 26 on April 14! And also just because I love lists.

22. Watch a football game with my uncle- done
23. Use a underwater camera
24. Do 40 Hour Famine - done
25. Sponsor a child.

Bunny - your list sounds incredibly adventurous!!
It's not quite a wildlife/nature preserve, but a company called Equitours actually lets you stay in a Rondal (I think thats the right word?) on a beach in Mozambique where you can volunteer at the horse stable, as well as at the local orphanage from as little as two weeks, up to a few months! It's very equestrian based, and it looks awesome!!

sharnimiranda - Do you have a blog? The links didn't work. Homemade marshmallows is one of the things on my list now! Especially after seeing all the gourmet ones on etsy!

My list is still teensy and unaccomplished but I'm going to start tackling it!
