25 for 25: Update
The Tuesday before Thanksgiving, November 23, is my half birthday. I thought it would be a good time to check in on my 25 for 25 list – 25 things I thought sounded fun to do before while I am 25.
Desire level: Medium-high.
Ideally I work from home before we acquire a dog. So… this probably won’t happen in the next six months.
2. Acquire a TV
Date completed: 05/21
Irony: We aren’t planning to bring it into the yurt. But we could change our minds.
3. Go sailing
Date completed: 07/21
4. Car camping
Desire level: Low.
Does crewing for a 100-mile race count?
5. Backpacking
Desire level: Medium.
Only because I have a backpack I got for my birthday in 2020 that still hasn’t been used.
6. Go to the actual beach
Desire level: High.
7. Run a half-marathon
Desire level: Medium.
Mostly I want to keep up running any distance 3-4 times a week.
8. Go on a yoga retreat
Desire level: High.
9. Launch Dunham Dwells + Yarn
Date completed: 08/21
10. Bake a fancy cake
Desire level: Low.
11. Sell a kit
Desire level: High.
Keep an eye out! There is a half-baked plan for this one.
12. Visit my brother
Date completed: 05/21. And 11/21!
13. Join a book club - just kidding, crochet group
Date completed: 09/21
14. Pay off my car
Desire level: Low.
Ha. I find no good reason to do this.
15. Read 30 books
Desire level: High.
I’ve read 12 so far. I'm feeling good about finishing this one for sure.
16. Ride horses 30 times
Desire level: Medium.
Still need to find another barn… and the time.
17. Go on a fancy date
Desire level: Medium.
New Year’s?
18. Buy a new vinyl record
Desire level: Medium.
If anyone wants to help me out here, I’m looking for Rainbow Kitten Surprise, Penny & Sparrow, or Evermore, or maybe Hozier.
19. Apply to Nest Fest
Cancelled. Built a yurt instead.
20. Host an in-person Hygge Day
Desire level: High.
There is a date! Sunday, January 9, 2021.
21. Bake crusty bread
Desire level: Medium.
We won’t have an oven in the yurt – but maybe I can try some Dutch oven baking over coals?
22. Lease a horse
Desire level: TBD.
See #16 and then maybe this will be a goal next year.
23. New England road trip
Desire level: Medium-high.
Also for next year: Mom said she wants to go to the Big E, New England's State Fair, which sounds pretty darn epic to me
24. Go to a live concert
Desire level: High.
25. Learn to ride a motorcycle
Desire level: Low.
This would still be neat but I no longer have a crazy strong desire to do it.
Not bad, I don't think. It's funny to see how much my little wants have changed in even six months - this might be a better seasonal exercise for me. But, I have some immediate to-do's to work on those High priority items:
- Pick a timeframe next spring for a honest-to-goodness beach trip. Who wants to come?
- Research and register for a yoga retreat
- Find a live concert to go to
We'll see if I have any time to do these - or launch that kit!
