My cyber-friend, Angela, came up with this amazing idea, and I'm gonna steal it. In this 40th year of my life, I want to do (at least) 40 things that I wouldn't normally do. Maybe because I've been scared, it's something I haven't done in a long time, I feel stupid doing it or I'm just plain lazy (most likely the last one).
I don't have many things in mind just yet, but I'm opening myself up to anything and everything this year.
The only thing I know I really want to try is....ready?....skateboarding. There's a little park here in Gates that has the skateboard ramps and I really want to try it. Mike thinks I'll break something, but I still want to do it. And I will.
My list so far since turning 40:
1. I redid a room by myself. A few weeks ago I painted walls and furniture, and ripped a carpet out of a spare room.
2. Today I started to run again.
...that's all I have so far. But it's a start!
I’m a fun-loving foster and adoptive mom juggling a teenager, a tween, and a toddler, all while navigating the wild world of homeschooling. I recently took the plunge and moved to a new state without ever setting foot there—talk about an adventure! This is my real-life story, filled with chaos and joy. My mission? To swap out traditional products and pharmaceuticals for healthier, natural options for my family. Oh, and I really miss writing, so I'm excited to weave that back into my life!

We Did Something Crazy
A little over three weeks ago, we packed up a moving truck and closed the door to our New York house for the last time. We spent the night ...

I used to be so afraid of writing something horrible, that I wouldn't write anything at all. I'd have a half-hour or so to myself ...

The absolute worst part about being a writer for me is grammar and punctuation. With every post I put up, every email I send and every story...

I went to #30 school for first grade. Every morning I walked by myself down Otis Street to the school. There were always a bunch of kids out...

What about shaving your head and giving it to locks for love? That would be interesting.
Or what about getting a tattoo of a pirate?
Or dred locks?
I would want to do that stuff.. thought you would want some suggestions. =) Keep us updated on your list though! This is a great idea!
Lol, I do want another tattoo, but not of a pirate:) I think after I grow my hair out really long, I'll try the Locks of Love...if they want it. I could never do dred locks...I couldn't stand to have dirty hair.
Thats a great idea. Now the skating, you have to get someone to video it cause I want to see you skateboard. I've tried it and it's not easy. I fell a few times, then decided it's not for me. Of course I wasn't wearing any safety gear and may have had one too many drinks, but I was a teenager, what can you expect. LOL.
Good Luck!
Enjoy your next 40 daring years!
