The following list is no particular order of importance. Some are more important than others. Some are just fillers because I really had to do a lot of thinking on this.
1. See my son finish his high school education

36. Go to a museum that I've never been to
37. Get my sewing machine in working order and make something
38. Master my chicken marsala recipe
39. Go horseback riding

I wonder how many of these I will accomplish. Perhaps I should print the list and hang it on the fridge so I can see it every day. Hmmm, maybe for my 40th I can post an update to let ya know how I did. OK so a few of these aren't realistic. I'm deathly afraid of heights and bridges. Do I really think I can do the Mackinac Bridge walk? I would love to fight the fear and do it. We shall see!
How long do you have to complete this list? Is 40 a few years away or right around the corner?
ReplyDeleteOh, and I personally would love to participate in perfecting your chicken marsala recipe by trying each version for you. I won't even charge you for my opinions!
I have just under 11 months. I better get busy huh?
ReplyDeleteLet me know when you guys are in town and I will be happy to try perfecting that chicken marsala recipe : )
