25 before 26

originally, I had planned to write another "25 things" list to commemorate my 25th birthday. you know, a revised version of those super-cool notes we all wrote early last year on facebook. it was interesting to go back and see how much has changed since last January. but also the thing that will never change.

lately I've been seeing people write "25 goals to achieve before 26" lists. I'm beginning to think that... while I've enjoyed the first 25 years of my life, looking back and evaluating (yet again) isn't really the right way to celebrate it. so while it isn't very original, this seems much more appropriate. normally I would try to put some kind of logical order to this, but today I'm just leaving it as is...

1. survive all the drama and enjoy the wedding.
2. start selling prints online- through Etsy, Facebook, or my own site.
3. write and send thank yous for all of the wedding gifts.
4. clean and organize my office at work.
