The Birthday Queen

Tuesday I am the birthday Queen.

It only happens once a year, and I indulge every moment of it. The biggest difference this year is that I am going to be 39.

Yes, dear reader, I am entering into my last year of childhood. I am told that next year I am expected to grow up. Be an adult. Live responsibly, etc. etc. etc.

So, since I have one year of youth left in me, I've made a list of things to accomplish this year, and you can keep track of my progress.

1. I will run in (and finish) at least one 5K race this year.

2. I will learn how to Kayak, and take Brian (and maybe some others) out to a lake.

3. I will go camping this year with at least one of my children (don't promise all of them).

4. I will attempt to keep at least one room clean in my house for an entire month (may not hold me to this).

5. I will hit my goal weight (8 more pounds to go) and stay there until my next birthday (and beyond). I'm going to get my skinny picture soon....

Ok, that's enough. There are many other things I WANT to do, such as take a trip with the kids along the eastern seaboard, Creation Museum, National Parks, but I think this is the most do-able for the moment.

Just wait until I hit 40. Watch out world......
