On January 19, I created a list of 34 things I want to do before I turn 35. Here's how I am doing so far...
1. Go back to Jamaica
2. Get my drivers license

4. Try to make dessert bars other than skor bars
5. Go back to Vegas with a bunch of girls July 8-11, 2011 with five lovely bloggers - Reni, Elisse, Kat, Steph and Maur. We went to meet up and also to celebrate Reni and Maureen's birthdays.

8. Create my postcard project
9. Go to eat a fancy, posh downtown resto with my hubby
10. Find a new job I am crossing this off my list because over the course of this year, I went on two interviews.

11. Get another tattoo
12. Buy a really comfy pair of black super high heels
13. Reconnect with an old friend (my goal is one a year) I reconnect with Kat this year. I knew her from our partying days 10 years back. We got reacquainted through our blogs and Twitter. We realized that we have a lot in common.
