Last Saturday I turned the Big 3 0. It was not as traumatic as I thought it would be-maybe since I was so tired and never thought about it until Mike reminded me or I had to console Aiden that I was not going to look like an old lady overnight. I woke up with heartburn and my back was so sore I could not move-four kids laying on me at various times. So I felt old Saturday and I was in a really foul mood. In the midst of all of the fighting I was breaking up (a typical Saturday around here now that that is the only time the girls are really together) I came up with my To Do list for my next 30 years. (This is not in the order of importance).
1.) learn to sew -I did this week. Not hard at all-I guess I was just not mature enough in my 20s.
2.) Eat at the Lady and Sons
3.) Cook with Paula Deen in her kitchen.
4.) Meet Ian Somerhalder-and not get arrested while doing so.
5.) Visit the Vampire Diaries set-it is so close. I am pretty sure I can be there and back before dinner.
6.) Go on a long road trip to Wyoming and Montana.
7.) Go back to Hilton Head Island. Quite possibly the most laid back place I have ever been.
8.) Master this gardening thing.
9.) Be crafty-I am trying but it just hasn't clicked yet.
10.) Break free of my jeans and t shirt/velour pants and jacket and tshirt look.
11.) Be brave enough to have red hair.
12.) Learn to ride a horse
13.) Wear really large hats in my late 50s.
14.) Wear linen with my really large hats.
15.) Set time out of my day for my Bible time-reading my Bible app at 6:30 every morning does not count.
16.) Have legs like Heidi Klum
I was hoping to come up with 30 things. One for each of my next 30 years but I went blank after 16. Maybe that is a good thing though. With that many I have enough time to focus on everything.
