10 on the 10th: Carrie's Guest Post

Hi friends and fans of Rinda! My name is Carrie Rosalind and I blog over at Rosalind Revival about all the stuff that happens in my awesome 23-year-old life. Every year I make a list of things I want to do before my next birthday, and since my 24th birthday is right around the corner, Rinda so kindly offered to let me check one of the items off of my list and do a guest post on her blog. We both like to participate in Shimelle's 10 on the 10th prompt, so today we're pulling a "Freaky Friday" (er, Thursday) and switching ages...she's talking about her life at 23 on my blog, and I'm gazing into my crystal ball and predicting what I will have done by 50.

10 Things I Hope I've Done by the Age of 50:

1. Get married to my Prince Charming. As Snow White said, "Someday my Prince will come." He hasn't ridden up on a white horse for me yet, but I think he's saddling up somewhere right now.

2. Be on TV. It's a not-so-secret recent goal of mine that I want to be on The Bachelor. Yeah, yeah...I know, criticize me all you want. But I've always had an urge to be on either a reality show or a game show. I'll let you know when my episode airs! ;)

3. Ride in a hot air balloon. I seriously have been talking about doing this for years, and if I haven't done this by 50 I'll be mad at myself. 

4. Have a kid. Maybe one, maybe two, no more than three. I'm an only child and plural scares me.

5. Travel to Greece. I fell in love with Greece after reading the book Traveling With Pomegranates, and I haven't been able to get it out of my head since.

6. Attend another 20 Jason Mraz concerts. It's no secret I'm a huge Jason Mraz fan, and I've got my tickets in hand for my 6th Mraz show this October. I plan on seeing him every time he comes through Phoenix, and perhaps even making some road trips.

7. Become a published author. Be a New York Times Bestselling author. Shoot for the stars!

8. Be a rockstar. Okay, maybe not really. But I've just started playing guitar and I'm a little obsessed with it. I'd love to write some of my own songs and maybe even perform at an open mic night sometime...or ya know, opening for Jason Mraz would be pretty cool too.

9. Have a bookshelf full of scrapbook albums I've created. I've seen Rinda's bookshelves, and they are phenomenal. SO many scrapbook and art journal pages to be flipped through. One can only dream to rival her someday.

10. Be happy.

Thanks so much for letting me take over your blog for a day Rinda!
