30 Before 30: Revised

Since it's the new year, I decided to revisit my "30 before 30" list. A while back I was thinking about it, and I realized that some of my goals have changed since I started this list, so I decided that I'd revise it to make it a bit more to what my goals are currently. Many things stayed the same, but a couple things just aren't all that important to me anymore! So behold, my new 30 before 30 list!

1. Go horseback riding.
2. Lose 20 pounds.
3. Sell a photo (or something photo related) I've taken.
4. Visit the museums where Sean's uncle's designs are featured - the Craft and Folk Art Museum in LA and the Mingei museum in San Diego. (Going to San Diego on 2/24!)
5. Take a photography or Photoshop class or seminar.
6. Organize and back up my music and photos.
7. Move to a bigger house/apartment, possibly one we own.
8. Travel to New York. (Going to New York on 3/7!)
9. Do volunteer work.
10. Add $5,000 to my savings account. (1/2 way there!)
11. Bake bread from scratch.
12. Make my grandmother's Christmas cookies on my own.
13. Learn how to make pork roast with potato dumplings (mom's side).
14. Go to a drive-in movie.
15. Get certified in CPR.
16. Walk a 10K.
17. Take a weekend trip to somewhere with snow.
18. Cook an entire meal (appetizer, meal, dessert) for Sean and my family or friends.
19. Buy the camera lens I've been coveting.
20. Get Emma more training.
21. Take a cooking class.
22. See the giant sequoias with Sean.
23. Get the tattoo I've been thinking about, or decide against it for good.
24. Treat myself to a shopping spree for new clothes.
25. Visit Sean's aunt & uncle in San Diego and my aunt & uncle in Laguna Beach more often. (At least twice each)
26. See the LA sites/museums I've been meaning to go to for years: the Getty Villa, the LA Arboretum, the Urban Light installation at LACMA, and Griffith Park for the Griffith Park Observatory and Travel Town.
27. Start a photography business with a kick ass website.
28. Buy myself a nice piece of jewelry.
29. Learn how to drive a stick shift.
30. (It's a secret.)

And one I'm still considering...
- Finish writing at least 25 pages of a screenplay or book based on one of the millions of ideas in my head. (I still want to do this, but am more focused on photography this year than writing.)

If you're looking to try baking bread from scratch, bust our your Betty Crocker cookbook. (And if you don't have one, get one, because it's by far the best cookbook I've ever had.) They make it very simple and manageable. Thanks to them, I not only make my own bread, I've started inventing recipes!
Good luck!
