About three months ago, I moved from NW (Adams Morgan) to NE (H Street area). This was a big deal move for me for a couple of reasons. First, I was leaving my dear friend and moving to a place all by myself. I’d lived alone before, but after two years of living with my […]
# 2 Run a Half Marathon, pt. 2
In an earlier post, I discussed how I’m not a runner, but am nevertheless running the DC Rock and Roll Half Marathon on March 17th (St. Patrick’s Day for the win!). I’m excited pumped resigned to do this (you can’t take it back once it’s on the interwebs!) race and you should too! A few […]
My Top 11 in 2011
As the end of December draws near, countless “best of” lists will continue to pop up. I enjoy reading folks’ opinions on what they most enjoyed during the passing calendar year. I enjoy it so much that I thought I’d come up with my own “best of” list. My list is going to be a […]
#8 Make one new recipe a month, pt. 1
I enjoy cooking. But I often find it difficult to cook a “real” meal if I’m only feeding myself. That’s partially why I choose to put “make one new recipe a month” on THE List. This way I will force myself to cook something new – instead of just making myself a (albeit delicious) tomato, […]
Things missing from THE List, pt. 1
When you tell folks that you have made a list of 30 things you’d like to do before you turn 30, a couple things happen. If they know you well (and therefore know your marital status: single, but in a relationship, for those that are wondering) they instantly assume that getting married is #1… BECAUSE […]
# 2 Run a Half Marathon, pt. 1
I am not a runner. I am not the girl you see running down the street with a smile on her face. I’m the girl you see who looks like she may possibly be having a hernia. I’m the girl who is too ambitious and goes out for five miles and then can’t walk for […]
My Big Girl Tree!
Somehow, my list neglected to include a very important goal: have my first big girl Christmas tree! Christmas is by far my favorite holiday. Yes, I like seeing presents under the tree, but more importantly, I love the spirit of the holiday. I love the decorations, the cheerfulness, the celebrations and the feeling that it is […]
#4 Take Part in Meaningful Volunteer Work
Through my day job, I came across a local advocacy group, the DC Volunteer Lawyer Project (DCVLP for short). I invited DCVLP founders to come and speak to law students in the externship seminar I teach about pro bono and advocacy work. During their talk, I found that I was mesmerized by stories of DCVLP […]
THE List
Here it is! The list of the 30 things I will do before October 16, 2012. Project 30 in 2012 is ON! Jump out of a plane. Run a half marathon (a second one – I ran one during my last year of law school). Use my passport. Take part in meaningful volunteer work. Find […]
What is Project 30 in 2012?
Welcome! After much contemplation, I have decided that I miss the creative outlet of writing and that I’m going to give it a go again. A friend recently started a 27 by 27 blog and I was inspired by that. Thus, Project 30 in 2012 was born. As the title suggests, I’ll be turning 30 […]
