The Blog-stalker becomes the Blogger

I have a slight addiction to following other people's blogs, some label this casual hobby as 'stalking'. I'm not into labels. I do think 'stalking' is more acceptable if said stalker actually has a blog herself, and while I've wanted to start a blog, I couldn't think of anything interesting enough in my life that would fill a blog page. I've considered having a baby for blog material, seems to work for alot of people whose blogs I've read...but in the end decided probably not enough reason, to have a baby that is. I am 4 days into my 26th year of life and a friend of mine suggested I make a list of the 26 things I want to do before I turn 26. I love it! It also seems like good 'blog material'! As I check each 'to do' off, I will record the experience, mostly for my own enjoyment and record. So without further ado, my list:

1. Sit on a beach and enjoy the beauty and power of the ocean (this is slightly cheating as I already have the ticket booked to Hawaii in 23 short days!)
2. Pass the CPA Exam
3. Mentor someone
4. Find a mentor
5. Volunteer and be an active member in a community service
6. Take classes/join groups/do things until I find a hobby, a real hobby that I love doing and could serve as an answer to the question 'What would you do if you didn't have work for money'
7. Get a puppy
8. Pottytrain a puppy
9. Be more involved in the lives of my family members
10. Read 20 books considered to be 'Great American Literature
11. Be able to describe myself as a patient person
12. Build a savings that could sustain me for 3 months
13. Give more money away, spend less on myself
14. Pay off my last credit card
15. Get the oil in my car changed when its due (as opposed to when I feel like it)
16. Find a PCP
17. Visit the Village of Hope in Ghana, Africa
18. Eat less Oklahoma Joe's and more carrots - lose 30lbs
19. Tell the people I love and need in my life that I love them and need them in my life, stop assuming they know
20. Complete a half marathon, beat previous time
21. Bake brownies that are edible
22. Write a stand-up routine
23. Cover up the blob with the original 'blob' ally
24. Get my money's worth out of my gym membership
25. Pray everyday for the Honduran people, learn enough Spanish to communicate better when I visit, take someone(s) I love to Honduras, so they understand why I love it so much
26. Be as happy as I was on my 25th birthday and more prepared for 26
