Helloooo blog world! It's been a while since I've blogged, so to redeem myself I'm going to finish the rest of my 30 things before 30 list. Now, I should add a caveat. I finished this list a few months ago when I had some friends over for dinner. You know how conversation gets a little goofy sometimes when you're sitting around the table for a couple of hours with good friends? Well, keep that in mind when you read the list.
17. Host a fancy dinner party with real china dishes.

18. Make cheese from scratch.
19. Finish crocheting a baby blanket. (I can check this one off the list! Yes, it's been that long since I made the list.)
20. Cook an entire meal of “Mastering the Art of French Cooking.” (Inspired by Julie and Julia.)
21. Go to You Paint It and paint a matching set of plates.
22. Travel the Nile by boat.
23. Successfully grow a tomato plant. (i.e. Get more than one tomato before the plant dies from lack of water. In my defense, we did have a drought last year.)
24. Can some pickles.
25. Shoot a handgun at a shooting range.
26. Visit California.
27. Hike the Grand Canyon.
28. Go to a political rally. (Does it count that I accidentally walked through a pro-life demonstration in DC?)
29. Have dinner at a revolving restaurant.
30. Finish reading that list of classic novels that I started and never finished. (Oliver Twist, My Antonia, Far From the Madding Crowd, and Shirley)
That should keep me busy for the next couple of years.
