37 Things I Want to do Before I Turn 38

NOTE: This year has gone by and I am working on yet another list! 

Well, another birthday has gone by and I woke up this morning and discovered I was 37 now and needed a new yearly list.

I discovered two major flaws with my last list. First, many of the items required large amounts of money--classes and trips don't come cheap! Second, I picked some things that I really didn't have much interest in doing. I thought I might have interest in doing them (build a birdhouse, take a yoga class) and it turns out, gee, I really don't have an interest in them!

My new list has a few old things still on it: A few are in progress (designing a tattoo, planning a trip overseas, finishing novel) but are not quite there yet. And throw a dinner party for 20 was so fun, I want to do it again! And running the half marathon is still there because I am still healing my injured ankle!

Remember, I got this idea from Michelle My Belle and she got the idea from Hula Seventy.
And here I go!
