As many of you know it was a goal of mine to attempt 20 new things before my 20th birthday. Sadly my birthday has come and gone, and half the list goes undone. I hold out hope for next year though as I am putting the finishing touches on the 21 Before 21 list, and putting in place plans to actually go do the things on the list. Yeah. Anywho, here goes; the list of 20 things that were done or not done by my 20th birthday.
1. Have a fancy tea party. Not done, but I threw one for my old roommate's birthday which was immediately after mine. Counts?
2. Try out a crown braid. DONE. Has become a near-staple.
3. Knit a hat. Not done, learning this winter from Elspeth.
4. Bake a pie. DONE.

ReplyDeleteOh, and for a more substantial comment, I've tried reading the bible in one year. It's totally do-able, and a recurring goal of mine. I'm hoping 2012 will be the year I actually do it!
ReplyDeleteThere are lots of bible reading plans, if you're interested, but however you choose to go through it, try to average 3-4 chapters per day. :)
