30 things I’d like to do before I turn 30
1. Go to Europe.
2. Own an item of clothing from Rose and Ruby.
3. Write a “letter to the editor”.
4. Paint a really big oil painting.
5. Frame picutres I’ve painted in the past (it’s pricey to frame things!).
6. Bake the perfect loaf of banana bread.
7. Go to my ten year school reunion.
8. Go to a uni graduation service (I forgot to go to my own gradutation, much to my parent’s exasperation).
9. Study film again. I’d love to finish my honours or do a masters in film theory, but more realistically, I could join a club or do a part-time course…
10. Learn how to sew.
11. Learn how to knit.
12. Figure out what to do with my wedding dress.
13. Actually read every book I own.
14. Learn how to cook a roast.
15. Own a nice camera.
16. Learn how to take good pictures with above nice camera.
17. Own a good collection of secular books on gender theory and feminism. I have quite a few and I’ve read all the main thinkers, but I would like more.
18. Work as a freelance feature writer for women’s magazines (my dream job!)
19. Get a haircut I really really like.
20. do the bayrun…running, not walking
21. Buy a cheap drum-kit.
22. Figure out how to use Excel.
23. Read the entire Bible.
24. Memorise a Puritan prayer.
25. Go on a short-term mission overseas or in another state.
26. Get involved in a charity - whether through volunteering, or working in communications.
27. Grow herbs in the garden (we don’t currently have a garden or balcony)
28. Take a short course on something totally random, like sailing.
29. See the snow (I’ve never seen snow).
30. Write a short novel.

Things I’d like to do before I’m thirty:
Oh, wait. Dang. Too late…
I think I’d managed three off your list by the time I hit 30. And that includes #1 (”Go to Europe”), which I achieved merely by being born…
I can help out with numbers 15, 16 and 22 when you get up to them…
thanks Turns!
I did number 20 - once! Kym made me do it!
I too thought I might do a list like this and then remembered - it’s too late i am past 30!
Does that mean I have to do a list “40 things I want to do before I am 40″. I don’t think I can do it! I guess I have 9 years to complete the list though!
what about 35 things I’d like to do before I’m 35??
Learning to cook a roast is so worth it! Everything goes in the oven, you go do something else and an hour or so later, you have dinner
Donna Hay or Aus. Womens Weekly is pretty good for how to do roasts.
I’ve done 15 of those…but I too have missed out on the 30 cut off!!
I can help with 10, 11 and 14 when you get around to them (assuming I’m around). Easy peasy. I’ve been sewing some cute things for little P (it also helps growing up with a mum who sews).
I’m trying to learn how to use a crockpot (slow cooker), which I hear you are a pro at!
I’ve done 12 on your list, but there are plenty more things I haven’t done that I’d love to learn to do in the next 5 years.
I’d be happy to help with no 10.
