39 Things To Do In My 39th Year

So I’ve decided that since this 39 thing is happening despite my feelings about it then I may as well jump on board. Plus, I thought of another way to look at it: I’m pretty damn young when you consider I have an almost 20 year old son. Look, I’m no an advocate for having a child at 19 but I’m pretty positive my first born saved me from the kind of lifestyle that reality shows are famous for.

The following are 39 things I’d like to do in my 39th year. Some may seem a little silly to you but keep in mind they are meant to be attained in a years’ time by a full time working wife & mama. For the most part they are things that I usually talk myself out of for various reasons….

In no particular order:

1.       Learn to sew with something besides cotton
2.       Learn to sew a dress for myself
3.       Hand make Christmas gifts for friends
4.       Get on the Griffin at Busch Gardens
5.       Go to the Outerbanks of Carolina
6.       Host a dinner party
7.       Paint our bedroom
8.       Get a new tattoo
9.       Wear high heels more often
10.   Wear flip flops less often
11.   Buy myself some new Ugg boots in the fall
12.   Get a new exercise ball
13.   Learn some tummy control yoga moves
14.   Support a local charity with hand made items
15.   Sky-dive??? Hubby wants to. I’m not so sure.
16.   Participate in a craft show event
17.   See Josh Groban at the Norfolk Scope
18.   Fly home to California for a visit
19.   Visit Dollywood
20.   Take the Hampton Roads boat tour
21.   Re-pierce the top holes in my ears
22.   Get an adjustable dress form mannequin
23.   Get a new computer
24.   Get an iPod touch that is mine, all mine
25.   Make my cubicle at work a little more inspirational
26.   Get pretty new bedroom furniture after #7 is complete
27.   Go apple picking again at Carters Mountain in Charlottesville
28.   Can homemade apple butter
29.   Be a better blogger
30.   Finally take advantage of the Bath & Body Works coupons I keep getting
31.   Get new winter coat – whatever suits my fancy, not just what’s on the sale rack
32.   Update from a Blackberry to an Android
33.   Take a quilting class or workshop
34.   Host a giveaway on my blog
35.   Start collecting windchimes
36.   See if I can get my 3 boys to sit on Santa’s lap just one more time for a pic together (by then they will be 20, 17, & 11)
37.   Go to a fancy spa for a deep tissue massage
38.   Order lobster and see what all the rage is about – just don’t make me choose from the tank, I’ll cry
39.   Drop 20 pounds before turning 40!!!

PS:
This is my office chair:
It is ergonomically designed to relieve pressure on stress points in the body. 

Right. 

It feels like I'm sitting on patio furniture all day

Plus? 

ITS SEE THROUGH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. 

You know what I think? I think it needs a cover. Except I'm not quite sure where or how to begin with that particular task. 


Right now it's only redeeming feature is that I just saw Sheldon sitting in the exact same chair on an episode of Big Bang Theory. I heart Sheldon!


Even so. I'm still totally covering mine & adding a cushion just as soon as I figure something office appropriate out. Sorry Sheldy-luv. Mama's tush needs more cush.
