Every Day Italian

I knew that looking back and all the times I had cried would one day make me laugh. What I didn't realize, was that looking back on all the times I laughed would one day make me cry.

25 going on 30


Everyone has a list of things they want to do before a certain point in their life.
This is my list of things I would like to do before I'm 30. (only 5 short years away)

1. Dance in the rain.
2. See the Nutcracker.
3. Learn to balance my checkbook on a semi-daily basis.
4. Take a cruise
5. Get a new car.
6. Pay off my student loans, (or put a big dent in them).
7. Get a dog.
8. Fall in love.
9. Have amazing seats at a concert.
10. Visit NYC.
11. Go skiing.
12. Learn to take a compliment.
13. Fly first class.
14. Exercise regularly.
15. Participate in Habitat for Humanity.
16. Travel overseas (Greece, Italy, Ireland...)
17. Buy a house.
18. Get a season pass to Six Flags.
19. Successfully throw a surprise party for a friend.
20. Learn to think before I speak.


These aren't anything too extreme. I think I have set very reasonable goals. Now, it's time to get started on them.

What a delightful breath of fresh air. The one thing you absolutely have to do is to ski before you're 30. I used to be an instructor in Europe but you guys have some of the best slopes in the world. Snowbird in Utah is recommended. Best to you, John.

I think "hanging out with Thomas again" should have made that list. :-)

All you have to do is let me know when you are available. It always sounds like you are super busy.

I like your list a lot...and I'm really curious to see which one gets off the lists first.

What type of concert do you want great seats too? Something loud, something punky, something intimate, something instrumental??

Also...I think the six flags goal seems really really easy...you should do that quick (certainly cheaper then buying a new car, going overseas, or getting a house).

Many of your goals require some dough (everything from getting rid of loans to big purchases & trips)...how you going to up your cash flow (or is all decreasing everyday spending)?

Also...you got to knock out the easy one's quick...

so take care of your check book today & check the weather to try to catch the next rain storm.

(by the way, I love your list)

I am super busy, especially after just accepting a new job. If I only had about 8 more hours every day. Is that too much to ask for?

Email me and let me know what all is going on in your life Miss Deva!
