My bucket list

I was inspired by a friend who made a "bucket list" of things that she wants to do before she turns 30 this year. I still have 2 1/2 years before I turn 30, but I figure I might as well get started on making this list of 30 things I wanna do before September of 2013!

Here's all I have so far...I am in desperate need of ideas! I have no "career" goals right now, have already done all the higher education that I plan to (Dr. Gaby?)I'm not very adventurous, and I'm already married and have a kid. I guess these are just things that I'd like to do- so why not try to do them soon? p.s. I'm pretty boring.


Thirty things I'd like to do before I turn 30.............

1. Read the entire bible (we are doing that this year!! :)
2. Do another Beth Moore bible study
3. Host Thanksgiving.
4. Go snow shoeing.
5. Learn to make corned beef and cabbage for St. Patrick's Day
6. Get Mateo a sibling.
7. Visit my grandparents.
8. Take a dance class with Aaron
9. Make banana bread.
10. Write a bilingual children's book.
11. Find a way to speak Spanish more.
12. Grow pumpkins.
13. See a play or musical.
14. Ride a tandem bike.
15. Learn to play a song on the piano (with proper finger placement).
16. Watch the Star Wars trilogy (for Aaron).

OK...maybe Safeway isn't the worst store in the world plus pics of the stockpile...

So I usually complain that Safeway is cruelly overpriced compared to WinCo. However, what better way to end a date night than to stop at Safeway and double 8 coupons? Yes, my husband even allows me to bring him couponing and I LOVE it when he comes, hehehe.

This is what we got:
So we got 10 boxes of cereal, 4 boxes of gushers (not for me b/c of the sugar... :(, and a bottle of salad dressing for $9.00. I was pretty happy with that.

The hubster also put up some more shelves in our laundry closet, too, for stockpile stuff.

Our laundry closet is pretty big for a closet, so there's plenty of room for some shelves...where we keep everything from TP to laundry detergent to dish soap. There are a few things I couldn't capture with a picture...but you can get the gist.

These are the two shelves we have in our "basement" downstairs" (aka bowling alley). The upper one has toiletries like shampoo, face soap, dental hygiene stuff (in the red bin) and baby wipes. The bottom one has food like cereal, oatmeal, rice milk, pasta, etc.
