1. Cannot be something that is controlled by outside forces
a) such as 'having my own classroom' because while I would give anything to have that I can't control it as such and if I don't have my own classroom by 30 believe me I'll be cranky enough that I don't need a list to remind me of the suck.
b) some things controllable by other people are okay if they involve me actively guilt tripping them or playing them in order to get my way
2. Items are subject to change with good reason
a) the reason being I say so
b) but I'll let you know why and put it in ETA and such
As of right now I think I only have around 17. Suggestions are appreciated as I'm out of ideas.

First off: love rule 1b!
Second: yes, getting a passport is way too easy to be on this list. Yes, it sucks waiting in line, but really: suck it up, buttercup. Everyone should have a passport: you need to be prepared when Prince Charming comes and wants to whisk you away to Paris for the weekend, no? (snort)
Seriously, though: go get one, and let's go somwehere. :-)
As for additional goals...I dunno. Tell you what: I'll try to do one of these (ugh...it'll have to be longer), and we'll see if there's anything you'd like to pinch for yerself. :-)
shorter things are good. I'll work on the auntie thing... three years? sounds do-able.
I'm too tired to type more.

You are so smart to make this list with more than four months to get it done. So smart!
Okay, I might just be having a slow day cause my sleep last night majorly sucked! But I just got the whole 30 by 30 thing. That is brilliant. You are so smart! Hmmm.....60 by 60?? I think not! I like your list so far, but I do question whether you really want suggestions by your "mother". Let me know - I could probably help with one or two, given my more than twice your living years of experience. Love you. Mom
Yes Mom- comments from you are completely fine!
And it is true Jen- if you truly loved me you would have another baby in two years.
I'm looking forwards to your Yarnpiggy and Annika- I might go scope out your list too for ideas!
Hmmmm, okay, what about any sort of new things you want to learn? I don't want to say educational, you just got out of school for heaven's sake! ;) Any of those physical sort of goals? Climb mountain X or hike the West Coast Trail? Attend a specific event?
Sorry girl, I suck at this. :)
if i'm gonna do a list like this i need to make it things like 'floss' and 'eat burger' since i'll be thirty in 35 days.
hmm... perhaps 'not have malaria' and 'hang out in png'
coastal tour would be awesome - there may be a chance in august...
I happen to think that there's nothing wrong with "getting a passport" being on that list. For the record.
Honey Bunny, you can cross one of these items off your list! (hint: lala ) yay!
