Twenty-Five things to do before i turn Twenty-Five!

This morning i read a post by Joy the Baker about her celebrating her thirtieth birthday, and she mentioned a list of things she wanted to do before she reached the big three - oh. I have read about quite a number of bloggers doing these sorts of things and have always wanted to jump on the bandwagon! I've decided to make a list of twenty-five things to do instead of thirty (turning thirty is quuuiiite out of my reach) and i now have a little under four years to complete them. A few of the list items are a tad broad and/or easy so once i complete the whole list i may just write a new one up. Who knows, i could complete 150 things in four years! Anyway, enough rambling, time to get on with the dotted point goodness...

25 Before 25!

• Bake One giant birthday cake for someone i love.
• Send flowers to Two friends.
• Make Three new friends.
• Mail Four hand written letters.
• Compliment Five strangers.
• Send Six postcards (to blog readers maybe?).
• Try Seven new restaurants.
• Leave Eight lucky coins on the ground.
• Read and Review Nine books on my blog.
• Donate Ten dollars to a charity of my choice.
• Go on Eleven road trips and blog about them all.
• Give away Twelve fresh cupcakes.
• Enjoy Thirteen sunrises.
• Enjoy Fourteen sunsets!
• Leave Fifteen nice comments on fifteen blogs.
• Take Sixteen gym classes.
• Do Seventeen things i wouldnt normally do, and blog about them.
• Plant Eighteen trees/plants/herbs and maintain them.
• Try Nineteen new foods.
• Take Twenty photos of twenty things i love.
• Babysit or enjoy the presence of friends and their bubs Twenty-One times.
• Pass up Twenty-Two opportunities to buy something unnecessary and save that money.
• Do/buy Twenty-Three things that will make me feel good about myself (when needed).
• Tell my family i love them at least Twenty-Four times.
• Buy a bottle of wine over Twenty-Five dollars and savour every last drop!

Some of them you may be thinking are ridiculous (like number twenty-four... duh i love my family) but they all seem relevent to me at this point in my life, and they all will give me a feeling of accomplishment once ticked off. I would love for someone to join me or even link up to something like this, the more the merrier! Now onto ticking off those list items!
