That's how long I have until I hit the big 3-0.
While the idea of turning 30 doesn't really scare me, I do happen to punch my husband anytime he tells me that I'm closer to 30 than 20, or he accidentally tells people that I already am 30 - especially considering he's four months and one day older than I am and thus will turn 30 before me.
I used to look at the 30 Before 30 lists and think, "Oh big whoop, it's not like you haven't accomplished anything in life!" And now as I begin to count down the days, I have been wondering - what have I done with my 20's? Certainly I've accomplished a lot, and I will not get down on myself, but there are things I do want to accomplish before I enter into my fourth decade of life. Things on my bucket list that I want to be time specific. Goal oriented.

Oh that aquarium thing looks awesome. I wanna do that! I need to brush up on my Spanish really bad. Maybe we could help each other with that.
Great list. I love the Bohemian Rhapsody idea. That's a video I'd like to see!
If you want help with ASL (sign language), let me know! :) It's what I went to school for! And I can't believe you have never been to the River of Lights! I love going to that. I try every year to go.
What great list - working on mine for 50. Yours is quite the list! Not sure I could learn another language but would love to.
Oh shit. LOL
Yeah well cheer on, cause I'm coming to you for photography crap. ;)
They do, that's what the Dirty Dash is and it's one that I'm most excited about!
Great goals! You should look and see if they have a mud run near you. I ran (walked) it last year, and it was dirty fun!
I should do a 40 by 40 list. Or maybe just 35 by 45 list. Forty seems like a lot and while I have 8 years and 2.5 months to do it, I'm just freaking lazy. Haha.
Looks like you have a great list going on here. Now, should I bust out the pom-poms and cheer you on?"
"Jia, Jia she's our gal...wooo!!!"
Or some such bullshit.
Those are some big goals to do in less than two years! I love them all, but down get bummed if you don't cross them all off the list :-)
The good thing is that I made them very basic. With my weight, it's healthy, not a specific number. I didn't say I'd learn the piano perfectly, I said one song. And I didn't say fluently with languages, just to learn them. Same format goes with the broadway plays and the marathons, I don't have to do all of them, even one is better than nothing.
