It's my birthday! You know what that means... a new annual bucket list! My 28 x 29 list will be my fifth year making an annual bucket list, so I'm feeling pretty good about this one. I'm also jazzed at the fact that I was so close to finishing last year's list!

My 27 x 28 list was definitely my most successful yet. Blogging has not yet become part of my weekly routine, though I have managed to kind of keep up to date on my list progress. I also failed at volunteering (though to be fair to myself, I did try to volunteer for something but they essentially wanted a full-time employee and I couldn't commit the time). And I didn't try a stinkin' mushroom, how sad. I had a recipe picked out and bought a carton of them and everything, I just forgot to cook them before my birthday.

So without further ado, let's kick it off, 28 things to do before I enter my final year as a twenty-something!
