26 by 26: Because you asked for it...

I posted last week about two of the bookish goals on my list of 26 things I plan to accomplish before I turn 26, and several people asked to see the whole list. Here it is, in all its glory. I'll post now and again as I (hopefully!) check things off the list. 2 years, 4 months and 2 days left.
  • Juggle three bean bags.
  • Make 100 lovely things
  • Throw a first-annual dinner party - and second, and third...
  • Write thank-yous to my teachers
  • Read all of Hemingway's works
  • Plant a garden. Plant flowers.
  • Open champagne with a knife
  • Make a soufflé
  • Buy a house. With a porch. And, therefore, a porch swing.
  • Do a victory kneel at the end of my first completed 5K
  • Eat an extra large popcorn at the circus
  • Read (gulp) War and Peace
