It is only recently that I have begun reading blogs on a regular basis. And even so, most of the *blogs* I read are lists or contain tons of photos with links or short blurbs. So, let’s dispense with the blog title and start calling them lists.

One of the types of lists I am drawn to is the list of things to do before you age another year. I love this list by Andrea, of Hula Seventy. So in honor of getting things done, here is my list of 34 things to do before turning 35. (Currently I am 33.. so I am getting less than a month’s head-start.)
