35 before (end of) 35

I came across a blog post of 30 things to do before turning 30.  I love lists though I'm not always so good about following through.  Since I turn 35 in 39 days, I won't be able to be quite as ambitious, but  I've come up with 35 big things I want to accomplish while 35 (I have until October 15th 2011).  I'll cross items off the list as I finish them.

I know, we're pretty lame that we don't do much at our place. It's small (cozy) which means if we have people over it'd be nice to be able to have people outside on our deck (needs to be reinforced--umm, we've been putting this off for the last 4 years). Our summer was so short (or non-existent) this year so we didn't really plan any bbq's. Well, I'm hoping to throw something together for my 35th which is coming up soon. :)
