30 for 30

This year I have begun the freaking out of the big 3-0. Yes turning 30 should not be a big deal but alas I hear "'It's just a number" or "30 is not a big deal" from those who have already passed this milestone.
There are many good things that have happened in my life and yes I am not saying I have screwed up my life...but OMG I am freaking 30 as of the 9th.
For my 30th year I am going to do 20 things that are just for me, and in addition to those to round it up to a total of 30 I will also do a list of 10 things for my family. Here is my list.

30 for 30  

1. I am going to lose 30+lbs. 
2. I will get a tattoo. I am not solid on choice as of yet.
3. I am going to read 30+ books. A lot of them will be re-reading those I have not read in years.
4. I am not going to wear a ponytail for 30 days. (only allowed to use one when working out)
5. I will do 30 DIY projects from Pintrest that I have Pinned.
6. I will go see The Hobbit (second part) and Lone Ranger in theater. (I went to exactly one movie this past year, I love going to the movies.)
7. I will blog 30x's on this blog. I suck at keeping up at this so...this has made the list to get done this year.
8. I will go to the beach by myself at least once every month and document by pictures or sand art. 
9. I will take monthly pics of myself for both proof of weight loss and seeing how much I can or will change over the year.
10. I will send out cards every month to my girlfriends. I love being able to send a smile to those I love.
11. I will learn how to write in Elvish. 
12. I will save $ for both a Kitchen Aide Mixer and a computer.
13. I will work hard at keeping my garden running all season long. 
14. I will clean out the shelving in the barn so I can store my Season's Totes.
15. I will keep my toes painted and not chipped and gross looking. (cause i hate that)
16. I will create a Happiness Jar.
17. I will send a secret to Post Secret.
18. I will set a bed time for myself and keep it. 
19. I will not feel guilty for needing me time. 
20. I will drink my allotted amount of water everyday.

Family List

1. I will organize our family's important paperwork, keep it organized and get rid of unneeded paperwork.
2. I will be better at having family meals everyday. We need to work on this.
3. I will take advantage of Florida weather with my family. I tend to be an inside person but I need to use this wonderful weather and plan things for outside adventures, like going on picnics  hikes, playing at playgrounds, and of course going to the beach.
4. I will try my best not to yell when I am angry. I have a tendency to be loud and yell when I am angry or upset. My husband and son don't need me yelling at them. 
5. I will de-clutter my house. I have so many things that are not needed and will help with my savings if I have a few yard-sales.
6. I will not be lazy in my appearance. Yes I got my man but that does not mean I don't have to work hard at keeping him. So....yes shaving, and grooming can't go slack. Not that I am a gross person and don't try but I will work harder in making sure my husband feels as special or even more special then he use to when we were dating. That includes no more ratty tee-shirts to bed.
7. I will read to Gavin everyday.
8. I will begin painting and updating my house so it can really be our home.
9. I will kiss my husband everyday. That also includes days we are mad at each other. I will tell my son EVERYDAY I love him. I will make sure my family feels as loved as I love them. Because they are my life.

And for the 30th.....I will turn 31 without tears.

Wish me luck. Support me if you can. If you have any ideas for me to do this year, drop me a line.
