30 before 30

I've never been really good at setting goals for myself.  (It's amazing I accomplish anything in life, huh?!)  Since I just turned 29 last week, I thought now would be a good time to start.  Some of my 30 goals are fun and easy, and some of them are not so easy. (Mandarin!? Gosh. I must really love my hubs.)  Wish me luck!  I"ll keep you posted on my progress. (They are in no particular order.)
