things to do before I turn 40

It's less than 22 months away, and it's a pretty formidable list. However, if I accomplish even a few - that's enough of an accomplishment for me. This is a start - I reserve the right to edit it as necessary and note that it's in no particular order.

The List::

• Get a passport, and at least 1 stamp in it.


• Buy a house.


• Have a decadent, weekend fling in the Chicago LakeShore W hotel. Preferably with my future husband.
  
• Volunteer at least 8 hours/month for 6 months working with teenage AA girls.


• Take a cruise.


• Kick a$$ and take names in Madden 200X.


• Wear really tight black leather pants while kicking a$$ & taking names in Madden 200X. And look really good in them.


• Own a pistol. Legally. And know how to use it.


• Write the book that's rolling around in my skull like a marble.


• Visit the Motherland (no, I'm not German - I'm talking about Africa).


• Learn to scuba dive.


• Lose 100+ lbs.


• Make love naked in the ocean.


• Walk the Peach'. Yeah, I said it. WALK the Peachtree Road Race (hey, I'm being realistic - I know I can't run it within the next 2 years, so...).


• Celebrate Carnival, preferably in a country where Carnival is a BIG DEAL.


• Dance in the moonlight, in a ballgown, with my hair in a
• chignõn.


• Graduate from college.


• Get married.


• Ride a horse.


• Learn how to play golf/tennis/both.

I'm making moves to accomplish some of the ones I haven't accomplished as we speak. If you'd like to join me, leave a comment.
