35 Tings to Do While I'm 35

It's that time again! I am officially 35. I've really enjoyed the last two years' lists, even if I've failed miserably at them. Click to the right if you want to see the progress (or incredible lack thereof) of 33 Things and 34 Things.

This year's list is giving me fits. I'm having a really hard time coming up with things that I really feel strongly about doing and also think are moderately accomplish-able. For instance, I'd like to go to Alaska. I know that I will not be able to afford Alaska in the next 12 months. (Baring amazing.)

So, here we go. The best I can come up with.
