Top 40

Or, at least the first 40?  I don't know...I’ve decided to start a life to-do list.  And it just happened to level out at 40.  Some are short term, like today or this weekend.  Some may take a lifetime to accomplish.  This will of course be amended from time to time as things are added and crossed off. 

 

Some things, amazingly, have already been crossed off; namely:

See Def Leppard in concert

Visit Niagra Falls

Become a mother

 

The rest leave me work to do.  And these are, of course, in NO particular order…

 

1. Deep clean my house (or pay someone to do it)
2. Paint my kitchen cabinets
3. Paint and decorate bedroom
4. De-cat poop the flower bed and plant flowers
5. Get custom frames for artwork that’s been waiting for it
6. Complete my Friends collection
7. Get back to Paris and my beloved Eiffel Tower
8. Get to the beach
9. Wear a bikini this summer (and actually look good in it)
10. Find work that I’m passionate about (and can actually make a decent living doing)
11. Buy a house
12. Find a life partner that makes me insanely happy, on whom I can lavish all my silly affections
13. Make out with said life partner under the Eiffel tower
14. Make Julia Child’s boeuf bourguignon
15. Make a quilt
16. Make a mosaic table for my patio
17. Get a pedicure, facial, massage, and *&%^$ wax
18. Get a breast lift
19. Make appointment with Nissan dealership to check on everything in my car
20. Get a full car detailing, and probably new floor mats (i.e. dispose of the chocolate milk encrusted ones)
21. Eat at the restaurant in the Philbrook museum
22. Start buying MYSELF flowers on a regular basis
23. Find perfect foundation and powder now that Prescriptives has gone under
24. Go on a real vacation with my kids
25. Make Bakerella’s cupcake ball/pop things with my kids...may need Ms. Teel's assistance (see S'Moregasms post) 
26. Go horseback riding. It’s been way too long.
27. Sleep under the stars
28. See Cirque du Soleil in Vegas
29. Start taking dance classes again, tap ballet or contemporary (maybe when the kids are older?)
30. Take at yoga class
31. Get to India and kiss the babies
32. Complete my doula certification
33. Start and complete childbirth educator certification
34. Go to a wine tasting
35. Call landlord to fix bathroom sink, ice maker, and clothing rod in boys room
36. Harass brother to build mantle for my fireplace
37. Visit Courtney in San Antonio (must accomplish #9 prior to completion of this one)
38. Finally get my tattoo, with big bro
39. See Robert Plant in concert (already have my tickets J)
40. Make out with a firefighter on the fire engine (I’m currently dating one…so this is actually a possibility)

One For Me is my accountability partner.  I need suggestions on how to set goals of accomplishing these.  But I will update you, my faithful readers (there’s like, what, two of you?) on my progress, and expect ample rewards for my execution!  I like wine and chocolate (damn you #9!!!)…

Um, maybe a little TMI here and there but all of these seem doable. Especially if you got to France in the next six months. It could be lots o' fun....I'm just saying...

Ever heard the song that goes something like, "it's my blog and i'll write what i want to, write what i want to...you would write too if it happened..." Actually, the whole chorus doesn't exactly translate does it? Well, I figured if I can't be honest on my own blog, where CAN I? :) And I'm working on a variety of ways to finance a trip to see you and my niece and nephew this summer. Maybe next blog should be about those options...
