30 While 30 List

I have begun writing a "30 while 30" list. Since recently turning 30, it has occurred to me that perhaps "when I grow up" might never happen...so what am I waiting for? Some of the things on my list are just things/projects that I have never made a priority to finish. Others are things I said I'd do when I got a "real full-time" job. Still others are things I have been saying I want to do "all my life" or "before I die" and, at 30 I wonder what else I am waiting for to make these dreams/wishes come true. Then of course are the creative pursuits that I have been too scared to open myself up to. Now's the time! Carpe Diem!

The first third of the list:

1. get my photos into albums of some kind
2. sew corsets i designed for my friend's birthdays
3. pay off credit card
4. schedule first laser hair removal appointment
5. work out a plan to dive with the great white sharks (somewhere) by 2013
6. Get my new portfolio website up and running
7. skydive
8. learn to play an instrument
9. write a song and record it
10. sew myself the purse I want
