30 Before I Turn 30

This is my sixth year making one of these goal lists. It’s my favorite part of the process, imagining the finish line one year from now with an unrealistically low idea of how much work each goal will entail. I’ve tried to set goals that make me nervous. Putting it on this list (and sharing it with other people) is a commitment that I’m afraid to fail at.  After accomplishing 16 of my goals last year, I’ve increased the difficulty for this year’s list.

  1. Ok…Legos for Christmas and I may be able to help you out with the Green Bay game. If you are serious about it, I can ask my longest,oldest friend to see if she can get tix. She lives in Green Bay and has MANY connections.
