30 Before 30: 1 year to go!!

Today is the day, my last birthday in my 20s.  I'm not nearly as freaked out by that fact as I am by the fact that I still have 15 items from my 30 Before 30 left to do (yikes!!).  I am in progress on at least 6 of them, but there are still a bunch that I have to figure out how I want to do them.  Here's a status update:

  • attend a black-tie event (that’s not a wedding) and wear a floor length gown - I think I will just be the most over-dressed person at the MBA Formal next January!
  • be able to do 10 push-ups - Ugh...still working at this one.  It's HARD.
  • buy myself an expensive piece of jewelry - No idea what to get...suggestions?
  • do a 30 before 30 list - Obviously in progress (ok, fine, this one is a cop-out)
  • go to a top 40 pop concert - Detroit has a dearth of awesome concerts...checking Nikki Minaj's tour schedule now...
  • host an awesome party - Hopefully this will be our welcome party when we move into a house next year!!
  • pick and buy a stock (myself, not with my husband) - I have no excuse for not starting this yet..
  • plant a garden - Does re-potting a single plant count?
  • read the Bible all the way through - As of next week I will be 75% of the way done with this!! I'm doing it in a year and started on our second anniversary (October 24), so I will be done this October!
  • read the top ten novels on a list (thinking this one) - Got bogged down with 1984...can I substitute The Hunger Games?? :)
  • renovate something - I am going to interpret this liberally...a table, my wardrobe...not sure
  • run a sub-1:50 half marathon - Detroit Half Marathon in October!!
  • take a class in something that interests me - I'm giong to enroll in Tennis classes this fall!
  • visit san francisco - Hopefully we will be going in September!
  • ______(this space intentionally left blank for a miscellaneous adventure!) - I have an idea of what this might be, but I'm not telling yet :)
