Procrastination = to defer action; delay

Hi! My name is Hannah and I like to procrastinate.  It’s never something I mean to do.  I like to make plans.  I write lists.  Then something catches my eye.  It glitters/sparkles/flutters/flies/ and before I know it my attention is lost,  time has passed and I’m stuck looking at a list that has grown longer rather than shorter…

All that to say… there is a particularly loooooooonnnnngggg list that I wrote for myself at the beginning of last year.  You can read more about it here...   You see, my time on this earth as a 29-year-old is swiftly drawing to a close… and while I’m tempted to hold on to that age for a bit longer, I have decided to age gracefully…. (gracefully = kicking and screaming, with some crying fits… right?)

I can’t put it off any longer…without further ado, here is the current status on my Thirty before 30 list… sigh*

• Go to a Broadway show (I’m going this weekend… woohooo!!!)
• Start playing the piano again (I played chopsticks over Christmas… does that count?)
• Pay off my Credit Card (This is an ongoing process… but it’s in the works)
• Travel to Cali (remember how I said I write things on a list that I’ve already done… read about it here, here & here)
• Vacation somewhere warm (I’m going in May!!!!!!!!)
• Take a language class
• Write a Children’s Book
• Learn how to use Photoshop
• Blog at least 3x week (soooooooooooo….about that)
• Take Voice Lessons
• Start my own business
• Take a Dance Class
• Take a Road Trip
• Lose weight (I’m going to take my shoes off in February and hope for the best)
• Grow my hair out (I already started this one)
• Do my part to fight Human Trafficking
• Go to a Hillsong Event
• Create a savings plan to buy my own home someday
• Bike to work
• Find my favorite mascara (I’ve almost decided…)
• Go to a Women’s Conference
• Learn how to apply fake eye lashes
• Organize Photos (I threw them in a box AND done)
• Find the perfect gift for my Dad
• Learn how to cook (I did learn how to bake my Mom’s bread… so basically I’ve completed this…right?)
• Read 10 books (I’ve started 20… does that count)
• Be a more generous person (This is an ongoing goal)
• Stop drinking Soda (I’m working on it….as I drink my diet coke at my desk… I will stop by next month…promise!)
• Go Sailing
• Clean out my Blog Reader

As you can see, I still have a ways to go.  I’ll be posting over the next few weeks about the ones I have accomplished thus far, but other than that if you’re looking for me, I will be….

Reading books on a sailboat somewhere in the tropics, while sipping iced tea (NOT soda!) and practicing my new dance moves (preferably samba).  I’ll be conversing in conversational Portuguese with my new language/voice/dance instructor and cooking a superb gourmet meal.  In my free time, I’ll be learning that incredible Broadway number I heard during the recent show I caught, on my shipboard piano, as well as making the final edits on my children’s book and designing the cover art on Photoshop.   Through my perfectly manicured eyelashes (where did she get that mascara?!?) I’ll be reviewing my selection online for the perfect Father’s day gift, bike and photo organization system, none of which will be paid for on my credit card. 

Sound like a plan? Yes.  Great.

Where are the donuts?  I thought they had donuts at these meetings…
