One of my Thirty before 30 goals was to meet 10 more internet people IRL… and I achieved that one with the meetup last weekend. I’m not very far through my list… but I’m getting there. Slowly. Maybe. I might get there. I have 13 more months.

Up a little early this morning to ice my first batch of Vegan Cupcakes…
It’s #39 Bake awesome vegan cupcakes to take into work on my Thirty before 30 list. At my work, you provide cake for the person whose birthday falls after yours, so as my birthday was recently it’s my turn to bring the cake. The recipe came from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World, which is full of little vegan cupcake recipes. The un-iced cakes got Rish’s smile of approval last night.
Headed to the Old Bus Depot Markets to get out and about today… Got myself some mulled wine (mm it was rather lemony and awesome) and wandered around.
I’ve made a (small) start on my Thirty before 30 list… I have decided that #23 Take and blog a photo a day of me for a month will be accomplished via DailyMugshot.com… and I won’t subject you all to each and every one of th pics here… instead they will appear at my mugshow and I will share the link once again when i complete a month in a row!
I also have the ingredients for #29 Bake awesome vegan cupcakes to take into work… so we’ll see if they meet all of the criteria there!
Mmm made the Banana cake again out of Go Dairy Free, this time making a double mix, the cake’s a bit bigger and I made a bunch of mini-muffins too, which I see Rish has been nibbling on this afternoon!
(Being my birthday, you’re obligated to de-lurk and comment! Do it!)
Last year’s work cupcakes for my birthday. Hello Kitty!
Okay, any notion I had of doing a 101 in 1001 is long gone, I can’t even WRITE a list, let along get started on one. So perhaps, 30 items before my 30th birthday will be more manageable? We can always hope!
So, let’s see. What are 30 things I would like to achieve in the next 24 months?
Finish my Masters
Visit Japan
Run 8km
Sort out my diet
Buy some knee-high boots that fit my calves
Learn to cook tofu in at least 3 ways (including stirfry)
Read 20 Popular Penguins (a few can be checked off already, will let you know in my first update!)
Do some unassisted chin-ups
Eat gluten free hot cross buns
Finishing knitting the pink/red scarf that’s been in the cupboard part done for at least 2 years
Run 10 km (Mothers day classic?)
Have made at least 2 things from each cookbook I own
Meet at least 10 more ‘internet people’ IRL
Sell or play my clarinet
Drastically reduce my diet coke intake – no more than one in a day, no more than 4 in a week
