30 candles

Melissa has come up with a fun birthday idea to make the birthday last longer and feel fun, exciting, and thoughtful. I'm to come up with 30 things that I want to do, make, accomplish, enjoy, whatever and get to it. So far on the list:
1. Learn how to work the grill and cook something by myself.
2. Print out 30 pictures for the photo album.
3. Make carrot cake pancakes.
4. Fill in a map of the United States to the best of my ability without studying.
5. Make a multi-multi-layer cake.
6. Blow out 30 candles.
7. Sell something on Craig's list.
8. Get rid of 30 things in the house.
9. Take one picture daily for 30 days.
10. Get bold blonde/brown streaks in my hair.

That's what I've got so far and I need your help. I need ideas. I need fun. I need challenges. Throw out something for the other two-thirds of the list. I'm liking this.

What about something Jeep-related? LIke tackling some sort of obstacle? Or maybe doing something with each nephew you have? I love this idea!
