Miscellaneous
#3! YESSSSS!
Ha! I’m very excited for that one and am actually quite a good dancer, just never taken a class.
Now I really wish we lived closer together–I’d love to go dancing with you! Oh, we’d have so much fun.
Numbers 2, 4, 7, 10, 18, 25
11 I can possibly help with. I suggest either a succulent or herbs/veggies for the kitchen.
Thanks Alex! I’m sure you’ll be a part of many of them. I think for the growing I want to do something solely for aesthetics, there’s something exciting about beauty for beauty, plus my Rando app ended last week
Great list! I like that you have a good variety of spur-of-the-moment activities (like watching a sunrise and sunset) and things that require planning and forethought. What do you think you’ll get a tattoo of? Needles scare me so I could never get one…I don’t think I could even handle getting my ears pierced again!
I’ve got a quote that fits my personality perfectly
Or a Harry Potter symbol…
Those sound like great ideas! Would a Harry Potter symbol be like a lightening bolt or something? If you are going to get something permanent it might as well be something awesome.
Yeah. I’d either get the Deathly Hallows, the lightning bolt or the stars from the chapter headings.
I’m all late in the game, sorry! What would the quote be?
Now that’s a secret
Hi there! Long time no chat
I hope all is well. Just wanted to pop over and say hello and that I think your list is great! I have another year to go before 30, but I really like this idea!!
Thanks! You might want to start your list significantly earlier than mine, fitting all this into 9 (almost 8 now) months is definitely going to be a struggle.
