what a perfect list abby! these all sound like great things to fill the next year with. makes me think of what'll be on my list, though i have a few months...happy happy birthday (again)- hope it's an excellent one

ps: so glad the mojito made it on this list.

Happy Birthday!

oh happy birthday abby!
shall we have a swap? your unused fabric for some wool skirts?
enjoy every second.

Happy happy birthday, Abby! I just turned 26 too...so I'm working on my list now :)

Happy birthday Abby! 26 is great, but 27 has been even better so far. I think I need to make a list like that too :)

what a wonderful list! may all your dreams come true this year, abby! happy 26!!!

such a great list. I too need to make a list of things to do. and publish it. then maybe I'd do some of them!

i know where to get great mojitos. let me know when you're in the mood! ooh, and we can go roller skating afterwards! :)

awesome list. i need to make one this year.
hope your day is fun!
xoxo

happy birthday abby!
hope it is a great one - your list is fabulous. i am sure you will do it all!

happy birthday, sweetie. have a wonderful day and a wonderful year. :^)

Happy happy birthday!

I particularly like number 14, give away yarn and fabric. Last night I was looking for a small crochet needle in my box of unused yarn. And I realized I haven't knitted in months. I just checked and I haven't finished a knitted project in almost two years! And the thought ran through my mind, I should give my yarn away. Either that or I need to get back to knitting.

Ok back to lurking. :)

happy 26th! i just turned 26 too :) it should be a good year :)

Happy birthday, Abby!

The Grapes of Wrath is so darn good. I have it if you want to borrow it. I will happily meet you at the farmer's market for some sweet produce action.

Happy Birthday!!! I love the list and i feel inspired :)

lovely list. may all these dreams come true. happy birthday abs. you inspire ME. xox

hey abby! happy b-day!

if you visit seattle again make sure to stop at Kubota Gardens in south seattle. it is beautiful and then you'd be completing #2 and #24 on your list at the same time....even though i know you probably meant another Japanese garden.

anyway. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

a big happy b-day to you! i love the list. especially number 14 and 27. i am adding them to my list. right now.

happy birthday beautiful girl!
hope you are having a wonderful day.
number 25 is a must!

Hip hooray!
Happy Birthday, Abby!
hugs, g

Happy Birthday!

hooray for 26th birthdays! hooray for birthday lists! I love this, abby. totally honored to have inspired you. so many on this list I'd like to do too.... number 1, for example. and numbers 2, 6 and 24. oh, and number 15! also, I think you know how I feel about number 20. :)

happy birthday, friend! happy birthday to you!

You inspire people too, like other blog readers. Hehe, happy birthday.

Yay! for visiting Seattle, one of my favorite cities.

Happy Birthday! :)

Actually, this comment is from MaiMai. Just using Mom's computer.
I just have to say, I love your list idea. I will be doing it from now on.
And, I love you!
Hope you had a happy birthday and have a wonderful year ahead of you!

Happy birthday! I think I must've actually seen you at Mcmenamins on your birthday? My son and I had just gotten out of the soaking pool when you walked by with some friends....
Also, I'm blown away by the relevance of your recent posts to my past... I also grew up Mormon... and I grew up in Hood River!
Trippy... I'll be sure to say hi next time I see you. :) Have a great day!

happy birthday! i always love the aries friends...

Happy birthday Abby, great inspirational and fun list!

You must go to the Japanese Garden, it's fabulous!

abby!

sometimes i remember to come to your blog, and i am always happy when i do! gosh, i'm wishing even more now that i called you when the st. john's bridge was closed. i don't know if i told you -- but both of us totally thought of you and thought you'd get of taking pictures then (like we did). any time you want to meet me after my work to walk across the st. john's bridge -- i will do. we can meet at proper eats by 2:30 pm and have at! seriously, let me know! there's actually lots of those things that i'd do with you, but since that one's first, i'll help you tackle it! and when we get to the other side, we can take a hike in forest park!!!
