It's Never Too Early

Lately, I've been thinking a lot about my upcoming birthday. This year I will be turning 29 years old and entering my last year of my twenties. Honestly, that is scary as *bleep*! So instead of being terrified, I'm going to embrace it and make a list of things I want to accomplish before I turn 30. No... this isn't one of those 30 before 30 lists. This is just a few things that I'd like to do in the upcoming months to put the 20's out with a bang. 

So what would I like to do this year? I've been giving it a lot of thought. I'd like to do any of these activities....

Take a hot air balloon ride

Walk across the Golden Gate Bridge. I've drove across it but I've never walked it.

Tour Filoli
Tour the Coppola Winery in Napa
Go to Seattle
Visit the Aquarium in Monterey 
Tour Sierra Nevada Brewery
Go on a shopping spree at Ameoba 

Then there's always the hope that I'll get some fabulous gift. This year I'm hopefully going to be really lucky and my mom will be able to fly out and spend my birthday with me. Since I could have the potential of spending my birthday all alone, I'm really hoping she can get out here for it. As for the fabulous gift... I don't even know anything. I'm kind of at a point where I don't get my hopes up for anything. I guess I won't get disappointed or let down that way. Maybe I'll keep thinking on the gift ideas. Ha!

So when do you start planning your birthday ideas?
