30 Things to do before you're 30- The List

So...I was sitting around sick off work today, musing on the state of the world/ state of my life and wondering aloud where all the fun has gone. This miserable state of affairs all started with a simple night out. A girl friend and I went to a gig on Friday, drunk beer from plastic cups, lusted after a man's guitar player forearms and danced like dervishes. We had a blast!! Afterwards we got to thinking - we're only young! Shouldn't we be doing more of this? Making the most of these pre-children years? So we made a pact that this year would be our year of fun!! We're gonna act like we're young and carefree - even when we don't feel like it- especially when we don't feel like it. And to help things along I've made a list of 30 things I'm gonna do before I'm 30 (345 days and counting).

So I'm inviting you to come on this journey with me. Follow my progress here in my blog- see my photo diary as I document each one achieved and perhaps even help me out with a few of my list over this year.

Oh and in case you were wondering number 29 is blank on purpose - I'm putting that one out there for suggestions from all of you. So leave me some ideas in the comments section

So here's my list...in no particular order.

1 Go to New York for a weekend – live it up
2 Go to a music festival - wade in mud
3 Drink Champagne by the river- any river
