Ammended Goals

So...  I was doing really well with my list, and then last spring I started working full time.  My work schedule is hectic and crazy, and life is too.  In my spare time I do fun things like laundry and cleaning bathrooms.  One of the positives about my job is I've met a great friend who makes me laugh out loud.  Work is so much better when you can laugh dispite your stress.  (Hi, Penny!)  She happened upon my blog last night, and asked how far I've gotten on my list.

Um...  yeah.

I've done a few, but will post that later, because I should be sending out financial reports right now...  not blogging.  :)

This will serve as week one of goal #36.

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've decided to make the next two years, years of greatness - rather than years of dread!  I'm going to get every bit of enjoyment out of the end of my thirties and the beginning of my 40s!

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.  the end of my 40th year.
