33.


Today is my birthday.  I am 33.

Wow.

Anyone sending along some aquamarine?  I won't turn it down!


I started thinking about how a lot of people (especially bloggers) have a bucket list of things they want to do before a certain age.  I always marvel at those lists because there are usually some fun and interesting things on them, but I've never made one because I have never had that many things I've wanted to do by a certain age.  And really, I don't like to make lists like that because then there's all this pressure to get those things done.  I don't think I could handle that.

So instead, I give you my list of 5 things I never plan on doing in my lifetime:

1. Jump out of an airplane.  I don't care how many people rave about it, it's not going to happen.  I can get motion sick if I turn my head too fast to the side.  Plus there's the whole falling from really high thing going on.  You've got to place a lot of trust in that backpack.

2. Get a tattoo.  I am not a fan of tattoos on women.  I just don't like them.  I can handle them on men- and really, they look better with a whole bunch of them than just one (does that make any sense?).  I just can't think of anything that I would want permanently on my body and I would not know where to put it.  Plus, ouch.

3. Eat weird foods.  Maybe eating sheep's stomach or insects is considered a delicacy in some places but I have no interest in being brave with my meals.

4. Camping.  I have no interest.  I want a hotel with a heated pool.

5. Run a marathon.  Yes, it is quite an accomplishment.  I'm totally going to pass on this one.

Anyone else have an anti-bucket list item to add?
