29 before 29.

As Thursday and another year in my birthday belt notch grows I decided to put something down in writing about what I'd like to accomplish in my 28th year. So, I've compiled a list of the 29 things I'd like to do before I turn 29.

In no particular order....
  1.  Read a minimum of 30 books.
  2.  Spend less, shop my closet more.
  3.  Take more photos.
  4. Dedicate more time and effort to the blog.
  5. Make homemade pasta and sauce.
  6.  Go to a new city where I haven't been before.
  7.  Volunteer for more shifts at the holiday window display for the SF SPCA.
  8. Less time inside, more time outside.
  9. Join a sports team/bowling league/sign up for ice skating lessons.
  10. Bike across the golden gate bridge.
  11. Take a how to make a terraneum class with my mom.
  12. Take a photo every day for 30 straight days.
  13. Go to the symphony with DH.
  14. Learn to fix/sew a button.
  15. Try a new beer once a month.
  16. Go fruit/pumpkin picking.
  17. Hike Angel Island.
  18. Get as close as I can to the city where my grandpa was born in Italy.
  19. Bake at least once a month with the new kitchen aid mixer.
  20. Go gokarting with my family.
  21. Define my style better.
  22. Visit the Italian American museum in the presidio.
  23. Organize and play a bocce ball day.
  24. Be nicer to my cuticles (so I can finally have nice manicures...)
  25. Take a spontaneous drive.
  26. Make a new friend.
  27. Make a stranger's day
  28. Clean and reorganize my wardrobe AND keep it up (for longer than a week).
  29. Exercise more and eat better.
And so this isn't totally boring, my outfit for today. I picked this necklace up on Monday and just adore it.
jeans: banana republic, blouse: jcrew, necklace: h&m, blazer: frenchi
