Number 14
I have added to my "list of things to do before 27". I still don't have a full 27 things however. It's harder than I thought to come with 27 things that I think I can accomplish in (less than) a year.
The continuing list:
20: re-learn how to knit
21: attend an auction
22: purchase a sewing machine and learn how to use it (Kellie? Are you out there? I'm enlisting you for the completion of number 22)
23: renew our passports
If you remember, number 14 went something like this: get a funky bundt pan and make a funky bundt cake.
I was lucky enough to receive a bundt pan for Christmas (thanks mom!) and this weekend I used it! I failed to take pictures however, so you are just going to have to believe me. The cake was...alright. It wasn't awesome, so I'm going to try again with a different recipe and then I will remember to get proof.
I have accomplished a few more items on the list as well, but will tell you about those another time. I don't have time for such tomfoolery at this moment.
P.S. Isn't bundt a real word? My spellchecker keeps picking it up. Weird. It's pretty obvious that Blogger spellcheck is not familiar with Nordicware, the king of the bundt!

11-19
Dave and I just got back from a rip-roarin' Hilden family trip to the Chicago area for the semi-annual coin operated machine show! There were nine of us all together and it was wild and crazy but oh so fun. Unfortunately there's not one picture to be had from the entire trip. AHHH. How could I not take any pictures?? I guess I was just not in a picture taking mood. I'm entitled. Well actually....there was ONE picture taken. We all had matching "Crow River Trading" shirts on and our picture was taken for Antique Monthly Magazine, or something like that, so if I can get a hold of that picture, believe you me, I'll pass it along.
In lieu of having pictures to share from the trip, I will share with you more of my "to do before 27" list.
Numbers 11-19
11. Use eggplant in a dish I like. Eggplant Parmesan perhaps?
12. Participate in another race (length? TBD)
13. Make a chicken/turkey dinner
14. Take another road trip with Dave. (and get Dave to finish editing our video from the last road trip.)
15. Get a funky bundt pan and make a funky bundt cake.
16. Start an herb garden
17. Go on a girls trip.
18. Go through the Bible chronologically
19. Pay off our car.
I just LOVE lists. Any other list lovers out there? Sometimes when I'm writing lists I purposely put a few things on there that I've already accomplished just so I can have the satisfaction of crossing it off. I'm very tempted to do that with this list, but I'm going to refrain.
And...an update on # 2: I'm almost done with my picture project!! I just have to ask Dave really nicely to help me hang it up.

10 of 27
I made a list.
Since I recently had a birthday I figured I would spend some time thinking about my upcoming year.
I made a list.
Next year at this time I will be 27 so I decided to make a list of 27 things I wanted to do before the age of 27.
Here (with no rhyme or reason) are numbers 1-10 of said list.
1. Get my picture project done
2. Go to the Global Market
3. Finish our wedding album/scrapbook thing
4. Get a funky spice rack
5. Find and purchase wall art for the kitchen
6. Get a bike
7. Get Dave's bike fixed
8. Go on bike rides with Dave
9. Make my own cleaning supplies
10. Finish making my "things to do before age 27" list.
Alright, so that last one probably doesn't count, but it's hard coming up with 27 things ok? 27 is a big number, but I promise to think real hard about it in the coming days and get back to you with numbers 11-27. They will be doozies. Nothing short of spectacular. Get ready.
