Behind the 30

Via Oh Happy Day.

I thought that since I'm not going to have progress to write about every day (and I want to try to write every day), I'd use a few posts to explain why I included certain things on the list.

No. 30: Throw the best surprise party ever

I have this secret desire to start a party-throwing business. I would specialize in ridiculously complicated scavenger hunt surprise parties. Why? I was inspired by this.

Via Oh Happy Day.

The holi colors are probably the best part, though according to some people they are toxic (?). A minor price to pay for awesomeness. I also love that they rented a fleet of Mini Cooper Zipcars. Anyway, I shouldn't ruin the surprise for whomever I throw this party for (no idea yet), so I'll just leave it at that.


No. 29: Play matchmaker

Back in the day, Lisa and I were totally going to start a matchmaking business. That dream bit the dust very quickly, but it would still be awesome to set up two friends and know that I had a hand in their happiness. And I figured some items on the list should help somebody other than me :)

Of course, I'm gonna need to find some dudes for this. The eternal D.C. problem. Anyway, what needs to happen here for me to consider the goal accomplished? One date? Three dates? Marriage? Okay not marriage. I'm thinking one date should do it. After that it's up to y'all.
