30 things to do before I’m 30
1. Take a cooking class (or MANY cooking classes) and actually learn to COOK (check! 7/14/11)

3. Eat at Medieval Times (1/2 complete 7/27/2011, Bunratty Castle Medieval Banquet)
4. Convince my niece Nora that I’m the coolest thing since sliced bread. (Don’t get me wrong Vonnie, but I foresee Michael and Conner telling Masen that Jeff is the coolest one…I’m pretty sure I only stand a chance with Nora…) (I'm couting this complete, or at least complete enough for now!)
5. Take my girls Ash & Jen out for a sorry-I-missed-it, post-wedding celebration!
6. Take Jeff to a Thai place to experience Chicken-Pad-Thai ( something I cannot for the life of me cook at home, hence #1)
7. Learn a lot more about wine (check! 9/21/11)
8. Complete a triathlon
9. Get my degree!!!
10. Go to Florida (to of course start my coolest Aunt campaign with Nora, but also to see Harry Potter-Land and Disneyworld)
11. Go to Hawaii
12. Go wine tasting in Napa Valley
13. Be a part of the Breast Cancer 3-Day with Laura & Carolyn
14. Get professional pictures taken of me and the Mr.

25. Finish and purchase the photo-books of our last trips in Europe
26. Throw a genuine cocktail party
