I know quite a while back I mentioned updating/tweaking my before you’re 30 list.  Well, this morning I finally did that.  I didn’t change much though I did some deleting and some adding.  Some things I had tried, like the kayak, and found that though I thought it was something that I wanted, it really wasn’t.  And that’s ok.  I also don’t see myself staying in TaeKwonDo therefore having goals for that seems pointless.  I also never expected to be doing Kung Fu/Tai Chi when I made that list.  Therefore, it feels weird not to have my goals for that on the list.  I’ve made some strides toward achieving some of the items like getting some recipes down, but I’m not all the way yet.  Other goals I’ve attempted many times with no success (picking my lips).  I don’t know if I’ll ever achieve this, but I’m going to keep trying.  So, here is the list because I know I’m the only one that remembers it.  :)  Actually, as I was editing I realized there were a few that seemed “new” to me to.  I guess I forgot that I had put them on there…opps!  🙂

iPhone Apps You Should Check Out:

Flood It:  It’s free in the App Store.  It’s a pretty cool and pretty addictive little game that’s also pretty easy to learn.  Winning is another story.  🙂

Puzzle Quest:  I should have reported this one a long time ago as I have been addicted to it for a couple of months.  It’s a role playing game where the battles consist of a game much like Bejeweled.  It’s hard to explain, but if you love role playing games then I’m sure you’ll like it.
