Life List #19: Go Skydiving for my 30th Birthday

... on hold. GRRR.

So Friday evening, I was sitting in AirTran Business Class sipping my Bailey's on the rocks as I headed to Baltimore airport (I missed my earlier flight and had to upgrade to Business Class to ensure I didn't get bumped on the next one... that $40 was worth all three Bailey's after the stress of thinking I would miss my skydiving jump the next morning).

When I landed in Baltimore, I got the voicemail from Skydive Orange... bad weather, clouds, thunderstorms... I should reschedule. Called him back that night and explained we wouldn't be able to reschedule for several months since both my sister and I are from out of town. That's fine... but I was definitely bummed.

No worries. The rest of the weekend was great. I'm still alive. And I'm excited to plan another trip to DC soon (hopefully the flights get cheaper and the weather is sunnier!).

Pray for Sunny Skies!!!

Supposedly it is going to be raining tomorrow morning when my sister and I are making our notorious skydiving jump outside of D.C. with a chance of thunderstorms. I REALLY hope that doesn't happen... no refunds although they will reschedule it (which is difficult bc neither of us live near D.C.). So now I find myself more stressed about the weather than the actual falling towards the earth component.

In any case, I will be putting some serious notches on this Life List of mine.

19. go skydiving for my 30th birthday
28. play paintball (not entirely sure... but my sisters are up to another surprise that is on the list and they said 'bring old clothes' so I'm guessing. its either that or we will be climbing Mt. Kilmanjaro)
107. do a keg stand with both my sisters (yes... my sisters made me put this on my list a year ago when they were appalled to hear that I had never done one. This should prove to be interesting with the braces. I also plan on playing the card that since it says "with" that they must do one also... after all, someone has to show me how its done!).

My list will jump down to only 97 things (from 111). Pretty good for one year... especially with a few more items checking off in the next month!
