Other "Before I'm" Lists
(let me know if you've done one and I'd love to add you!)
You better get busy! ^_^
Korean BBQ....Yum!
I enjoyed the real thing in Korea... Just not a fan of Kimchi, you should give it a try though.

I loved seeing this today-I am just about to post about my "life list" later this week. (I'd do it now, but I am puppy sitting-see blog-and can't sit at the computer for very long right now.)
I think everyone should have a list of things that are meaningful to them-even if those things mean NOTHING to anyone else, there should be things you want to do in your life for the sheer joy of doing them.
When I share mine, I will link to yours. :)
Thanks Michelle!

I can't remember. How much time do you have left to get this done?
Posted by: Molly | July 21, 2009 at 06:41 PM
Hi Michelle! Nothing too lofty on that list! I can see you getting all those things accomplished before Oct. 16th. I have a few of those on my list as well... I've only got until Oct. 6th though, lol.

I think I can help with the real Chinese food if that includes Dim Sum at Wong's King Seafood!
Posted by: Molly | July 21, 2009 at 10:14 PM
Well, you're increasing your blog readership. Love it!

Lady, you are too cool!! :)
Posted by: Trish | July 22, 2009 at 03:35 PM
What a fun list. Sign me up for the creative night but not the Korean food. Haven't found any I like. Good luck with the rest of your list. As motivated as you are I'm sure you will reach your goal.
Posted by: Teri Leigh | July 22, 2009 at 07:51 PM
hmmm... Let's learn polaroid transfers together!
Posted by: niccolew | July 22, 2009 at 11:51 PM
Fabulous art journal! What book do you use for it? I have an altered car post up today if you want to take a peek.
Posted by: Liz Fulcher | July 23, 2009 at 05:39 AM
Great idea!!! I love that journal page about it!! :)

You've never been to the Ape Cave? This would be an awesome thing to do on a super hot day...it's nice and cool down in the cave!
When my boys are older, I want to take them there. I think my 4 year old might be a little too young, and I KNOW that my 7 year old would be freaked out.
I'm always up for #30...LOL
Posted by: Christina | July 27, 2009 at 11:56 PM
This is very inspiring! I should write a list for myself - maybe it would jump start my stale creativity! I very much enjoy your blog - it gets the creativity juice flowing!
Posted by: Christine Phelps | July 28, 2009 at 05:26 PM

Love it! Great journal!

I don't see "Visit Sandy while I do a couple of these things" on the list... You could do at least 10 of these down here. :D

Thank you for this great idea! I, too, will turn 37 in a few months. You've inspired me to create a list of my own. Blessings to you & may you accomplish All on your list.
Posted by: Tammy Sabourin | August 12, 2009 at 09:01 PM
me too! just posted my 41 before 42 list.
Posted by: denise | August 21, 2009 at 01:51 PM
Oh I love this idea!! I found this link on another blog. Think I'll do a list too!
Posted by: Jeanette | August 24, 2009 at 05:28 AM
I saw your list on the serendipity factory. I love lists like these and although I was inspired by a "before I turn.." list when I made mine, it is actually just a yearly list for 2009.

I'm already pumped up about next years list and have been adding new items to it for a bit.
Posted by: robyn | September 08, 2009 at 04:57 AM
Michelle,
You have inspired me to make a 50 things I want to do before I'm 50. I'm not finished with the list yet but I won't be 50 for two years so I have a bit of time yet. I will need that long to do some of the things on my list like visit Ireland, take my grandson to Disneyland etc. I will show you the list when I am done. Thanks for the inspiration.
