30 Before 30

  Here's my list!  It's pretty random.  These are the things I am going to do before I turn 30.  I have until November of 2012!  I'll update the list as I get things done.  Italics mean that the item is "in progress" and strike-through means it's done! 
  1. Lose 30 Pounds 
  2. Re-purpose a Piece of Furniture  
  3. Read 20 Classics
  4. Cross-Stitch Something 
  5. Make an Article of Clothing
  6. Go On a Vacation with Layne
  7. Write a Children's Book  (I finished but - for obvious reasons - I'm not posting the text on my blog.  It's a book about c-sections and Mom's recovery. It's really simple but it explains it in a non-scary way.  Before Ada's birth I could not find a SINGLE book for kids about c-sections so I wrote one!)
