description: WARNING: DO NOT PASS 29...without completing a few things first. Swim Naked, Defy Gravity is coming to the rescue. You don't want to exit your twenties unsatisfied, unschooled and unready, do you? There are adventures to be had, mistakes to be made, and neuroses to jettison--before the big 3-0 hits. Some vital goals: BUY A KICK-ASS MATTRESS. Splurging on the perfect mattress is like finding the perfect man. They're both just soft and firm and big enough, they comfort you through sickness and sadness, and you look forward to snuggling up with them at the end of a long day.KNOW YOUR BLOOD TYPE. 1) so you can donate blood when your time is in short supply; 2) if you're attacked by vampires and need an emergency transfusion; 3) it's the perfect conversation-starter at a dull dinner party.EMBRACE YOUR GRANNY PANTIES. Anyone can flash thong, but only a woman at ease in her own skin can proudly wear unsexy skivvies.GROW SOMETHING. Watching a tiny brown speck turn into a blooming, breathing thing is a small-scale lesson in selflessness and sacrifice. Besides if it dies, there will always be more seeds to practice on.LEARN TO ACCEPT COMPLIMENTS. Compliments ricochet off of us when we use a comeback like "Oh, these old things?" This "Awww, shucks" mentality is lame. You rock, and you know it, so why not admit it?With goals that range from sensible (Eat soy) to silly (Sleep in a hammock), from sensuous (Get a massage) to sassy (Declare your birthday a national holiday), this is the indispensable guide to being wild, wise, and ready for the leap into full-fledged, fabulous adulthood. Don't turn thirty without it.
