It's almost my birthday!

I drank a cup of coffee at 6:30---I knew it was a negative choice, but I really just wanted coffee and I don't believe in decaf (ie don't have any). So of course my mind is running laps, and I thought it would be fun, in honor of turning 24, to make a list of my 24 aspirations before I turn 25.

Sidebar: Your brain is fully developed at 25, at least according to John Tesh, so I feel like this is my last year to do things that people can say "Yeah, her brain is not fully developed yet."

Not all of them will necessarily be things I shouldn't do when I'm 25, but maybe just what my personal goals are for the next year. So, here's a shot:

24. I want to be a camping fiend. If all goes as planned, I will go camping at least 5 times this summer. I'm so excited. Get me a tent, sleeping bag--do some kayaking, biking, hiking--what a life.

23. I want to have a Harry Pothead Movie Marathon. No doubt as to whether this falls into the "personal goal" or "undeveloped brain" category.

22. I want to run more. I don't have grand aspirations here, just that I do enjoy to run outside when its cool.

21. I want to go to at least 2 drive in movies. I love the drive in, and that speaks nothing of brain development. Really, I feel it important to maximize warm weather.

20. I want to quit my job just for the aim of making my life more centered around simplicity and quiet. This is in the "underdeveloped brain" category and won't happen, calm down.

Why do I feel like this list is becoming laborious after only 5...

To be continued...
