here is my list so far - obviously it is a work in progress. feel free to add your suggestions. i will be adding to it over time, as i am inspired.
2. make bbq pulled pork
3. learn to play the guitar (learn more than the few chords i know now, and play them decently well)
4. go see the mets at citi field
5. read the chronicles of narnia
6. train to run a 5k - possibly the susan g. komen race for a cure in the spring
7. bake an apple pie with self-picked orchard apples
8. picnic in a park, picnic basket and all
9. go to the top of the rocks, top of the empire state building, or top of the statue of liberty in nyc
10. build a snowman - i am sure i did this as a kid, but it has been a long time
11. take up kickboxing at a local gym or martial arts studio
12. weekend trip to boston with my sisters
13. get a haircut (not just a trim) / wear my hair down for those who always beg me to
14. move into the downstairs bedroom, finally - this requires some cooperation from my parents
15. write each of my nieces/nephews a letter for their "baby" books
16. go to a comedy club - preferably see brian regan or kevin james
17. learn to make mom's lasagna, the best lasagna i have ever had, despite our non-italian roots
18. ice skate on wollman's rink in central park
19. read thru the old testament
20. volunteer time/abilities to help a victim (or more than one) of hurricane irene

22. write a letter every month and send one package to my world vision child, yonatan in the dominican republic
23. go on a camping/kayaking weekend
24. get a real philly cheesesteak and spend a day (at minimum) in philadelphia
25. meet up somewhere with friends (emo and val) for a 30th birthday celebration/reunion - anyone else turning 30 care to join? this may have to happen after my technical birthday, but considering we will be coming from new jersey, michigan and washington state, i think some flexibility in that should be allowed
*26. play and complete an entire game of monopoly (i don't think i have ever done this) - 08/25/2011 with jason formicola, frank & erica delalla
27. attend a symphony orchestra concert
28. host/coordinate (using my parents house of course) sunday dinner with the family once a month
29. participate in and sell things at a fall family yard sale

i will add to your list later, but i would be interested in trying out a kickboxing class....you try it, then i'll join you :)
to borrow one from my list that also applies to you -- weekend trip with sisters to boston. well, that is, if we can do it before march. maybe this fall...?
maybe to buy us 1 more month to go on a sister weekend, we could say 30 years and 30 days?! good thing i'm not working on a 40 by 40--this is too much pressure!
12. Get haircut, and not just a 3 inch trim!
13. Take over Liesl's old room downstairs.
i think the list needs a concert of some sortd
Write each of her nieces and nephews a letter for their baby books/scrapbooks.
good, good. i like the progress i am seeing here. any other things you would like to make (food)?? you want to learn how to make mom's lasagna with me? then we can both cross one off the list. and maybe there is something that we could learn from liesl also...
what about a few seasonal things that you could do during the holidays? rockafeller tree or something along those lines? (i know you saw the tree this year - but something like that?) volunteer at a soup kitchen? walk over the brooklyn bridge? any museums you would like to get to?
i have nothing to offer :) or i'm not sure that i want to share any of my fabulous secrets with either of you.
hey, is this mom's 5 year in october? we could do something related to that for her.
thanks for all of your ideas/suggestions so far, kate and liesl! its interesting how the majority of the things you suggest are related to ideas i already have - you know me well. liesl, mom's 5 year is next year, but also a good idea!
i have a way to accomplish your last one--come to philly with me and the 8th graders! won't that be fun?!
Love it!
I have one..."go to Michigan and visit my friend Emo."
In fact, we should just celebrate our 30th birthdays together...remember our Kenya birthday celebration?
