24

I just passed my 24th birthday and kept going with my self inflicted tradition of creating a list of things I wanted to do for my birthday. The number of items on the list corresponds directly with how many years of life I am celebrating on the given birthday. As one of the items on my list was to document each item on the list with a picture, I shall share them with you. We'll go in order the things were done during the day.

#1 See if the wii fit wishes me happy birthday - It totally did.
#2 - Eat red velvet pancakes  - Delicious
#3 - Go shooting - "you missed"  "did I? a perfect match"
#4 - Play wallyball - It's kind of obvious I'm the only one playing, but we got a game together.
#5 - Climb a tree - This is the captain's chair in the cherry tree at my parents place, oh the memories.
#6 - Buy a fish - I bought 3 as well as two snails, I went off the deep end.
#7 - Drive an electric shopping cart - I even wore a boot to make it look legit.
#8 - Play with dry ice - dry ice air hockey and making fog, life's pleasures
#9 - Eat a Reisen or a Mento without chewing it - I did it with both!
#10 - Watch a Psychisode - convenient that season 5 came out just days before my birthday.
#11 - Drink Dr Pepper - This could have been just about any day
#12 - Juggle 240 consecutive catches - easy
#13 - Play a game - pretty self explanatory
#14 - 24 hit ping-pong rally - Jeff and I pulled it off
#15 - Learn a new trick - the card trick I learned is almost too good, I wowed even myself.
#16 - Eat at the Pizza Factory - bread twist!
#17 - Get a tattoo...and put it on - I decided to go with something hard core.
#18 - Talk with 24 people - I talked with EXACTLY 24. no more, no less.
#19 - Receive a back massage - why didn't I think of this type of thing earlier?
#20 - Do absolutely nothing for 10 minutes -
#21 - Solve a puzzle - what else was I supposed to do with Chelsey sleeping?
#22 - Eat cake and ice cream - 2 in 1, ice cream cake
#23 - Don't say the name Jack Bauer - Even I was surprised how difficult this one was
#24 - Document each item on the list with a picture

I finished everything with well over an hour to spare, which blew last year's list away. It was a very eventful day. I got a lot of support from my wife and family, thanks again. I'm starting to get excited for next year. I've already got some items in mind for 25.

Fun day! This is really a great idea except I don't think I'm that creative. I loved reading about your day though! It can't get much better than that. :)

I kept trying to call to invite you to come play wallyball but the phones were down, and there was no reception....and my phone was broken....and lost, cause my dog ate it. Otherwise you would have received the call.
