My 26 Before 27

I meant to post this on my 26th birthday (June 7th) but I was MIA to the blogging world, so here it comes now, nearly a month late.  These are 26 things I would like to accomplish prior to my next birthday.  Thanks for reading!

My 26 Before 27

1)      Furnish the Family Room
2)      Complete the Office/Craft room (heck get STARTED on the Office/Craft room)
3)      Lose 20 lbs. and keep it off
4)      Commit to at least one real “date night” a month with my husband
5)      Scrapbook more (ummmm pretty sure I am about 4 years behind)
6)      Learn how to bake bread (using my fabulous bread maker)
7)      Learn how to make ice cream (using my fabulous ice cream maker)
8)      Get $10k in savings
9)      Stain the dining room table
10)  Stain the china hutch
11)  Go on at least 2 weekend getaways with my husband “just because” (other than Vegas)
12)  Visit a CA lighthouse
13)  Plan a cruise

20)  Successfully grow some kind of vegetable (thus far they have all died!)
21)  Replace our refrigerators with energy efficient appliances
22)  Learn how to use my husband’s ipad (it’s totally foreign to me…. oh I guess this would also mean he would have to let me play with it, I’ll have to pry it from his fingers!)
23)  Try one new wine per month to expand our very narrow wine experience/appetite
24)  Eat more vegetables.
25)  Take 1 bubble bath per week to unwind.
