Thirty by 30!!

*I just changed to BlogLovin and love it. However, I'm still getting use to it. Go over to my sidebar and add me please! SORRY I CHANGED MY URL AND THAT WAS NOT WORKING...SO MY NORMAL URL IS BACK!

I've seen this done on many blogs, but I liked how Elise had it laid out into sections. She is the wonderful lady behind Books, Bottles and Bags. I read her's and thought I wanna do that too!!! So Waa-laa---here it is!!

What are your goals by the time you're next big milestone birthday arrives?

I can't wait to see how many I get done or in the process of doing. It also gives me more reason to keep on blogging! :)

I hope everyone has a great Thursday! 

Here is a little food-for-thought for the day.

The only reason this is up here is because I'm waking up at 4:30 tomorrow morning to workout and I'll need this afterwards to survive the day!
