Step II...otherwise known as "The Categories"
But first, just a few housekeeping issues...
My hope is that between now and July, I'll have a lot of things in each category. As I get closer to my birthday...I'll start weeding out things that I've already done...and narrow the list down to the 30things I really want to do. So, if a category looks full, still give suggestions. If there is a category that only has one suggestion...that's the thing that I'll do.
Along those lines, in putting together the list so far, I realized a number of things can fall into multiple categories...but don't you worry about that. Since I'm about to be a 30 yr old business lady...and have been blessed with the ability to think critically...I have the power to manipulate these lists. Neat huh? Like I mentioned in the last post, Sarah and Justin said I should go to a Cardinals/Cubs game at Wrigley field. That is a fantastic idea that could go in the category of: road trip, travel, or concert/sporting event, etc.
If there are multiple good suggestions for a category...and the "Holley Idea" portion of that category was totally lame...I may just steal your idea...and claim it as my own.
Oh--and I'm open to suggestions with new categories. I will admit some of the categories below are a less-than-stellar.

ReplyDeleteOkay so i thought i remembered seeing like "learn how to snowboard" in one of your catagories but i don't see it.
If you want to learn how to snowboard and you have an actual instructor teaching you i would soo do that with you. I would like to learn how to snowboard the "right" way this time!
Of course if that is what YOU want to do! :-)
Holley,
ReplyDeleteHow ironic... you're my first born and you're my first "blogee"- how cute is that!!!
As you know, I'm not a risk taker, so I will not be participating in any sky diving, repelling, or even "extreme ironing".... yes, there is such a thing - check it out at :
www. extremeironing.com
However, I do think you should get Beyonce, and I would love to go with you to pick out my first "grand dog"!! Then, when Cesar Millan comes to St. Louis, we can go to one of his seminars together!! :) In fact, if he is within 5 hours of driving, I'll take you, Megan and Beyonce on a road trip. How fun would that be!?!
Have fun planning your life from July 14, 2009 thru July 13, 2010. You're Great!!
Love,
Mom
