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
