Age... Ever Increasing

So, I got older this year - as we all do, until we don't.

Age has always been a number to me, but this year I realized it was my last year of 30's, and I wasn't impressed.

So, I've decided to make it a year of greatness, rather than a year of dread.  I'm going to get every bit of enjoyment out of my last year in my thirties!

So, I'm posting my 40 things to do before I turn 40.  I'm determined folks, so prepare to be amazed!  I'll update this blog as I accomplish each of the goals.

I've got until December 16, 2012 (11:59pm where ever I'm standing) to accomplish the following tasks, which are in no order of importance:

  1. Get to my goal weight
  2. Own three pairs of 'pretty' shoes.  My shoes are too practical.
  3. See a kangaroo in wild
  4. Snorkel the Great Barrier Reef
  5. Read 12 Great Books
  6. Totally Organize Closets
  7. Unpack and organize every last thing! 
  8. Go skinny dipping
  9. Take a Dance Class
  10. Visit all States in Australia
  11. Fashion Overhaul (after completion of goal 1)
  12. Ride in a Hot Air Balloon
  13. Write a Cookbook
  14. Do 40 hours of Genealogy
  15. Water Ski...  actually get up
  16. Ride a Horse on the Beach
  17. Get Re-certified in First Aid
  18. See an Opera at the Sydney Opera House
  19. Learn basic piano
  20. Adopt a Dog from a Shelter
  21. Learn how to use a pogo stick
  22. Make and Fly a Kite
  23. Paint a Picture
  24. Work with Bees/Honey
  25. Sew a quilt
  26. Own a pair of Alaskan Slippers
  27. Swim with a Dolphin
  28. Complete the Rainbow Road on Mario Kart
  29. Catch a fish at sea
  30. Escape with Boomer for a weekend away
  31. Watch all the Harry Potter Movies
  32. Host a Dinner Club for 4 consecutive Weeks
  33. Be a Vegan for 2 weeks
  34. Have a Girlfriends Getaway

  37. See a Musical or Play
  38. Sleep on a Beach
  39. Do a bus tour of Sydney
  40. Have a Mother/Daughter Adventure w/ Joy
So, there you have it.  Forty things I am going to do this year.  I'll update with dates/pictures as I go.  Well, for most of them.  You don't need to see me skinny dip.  :)

Cheers,
Flyer

  5. I need a nap after reading all you plan on doing this year. Exhausting! I hope you make it through your list. Enjoy. I'd skinny dip and then put the rest on my list for turning 50.
