40 Before 40

Well, since I’m not even 30 yet, I’m guessing I should be able to come up with a decent list of things to do in the next 10 years and 9 months.  I would do 30 before 30 but then I’m guessing it would be really hard to come up with 30 things to do in the next 9 months.  So, the 40 things I would like to accomplish in 10 years and 9 months are:

1. Successfully potty train both my children. Yes, they will be in middle and high school by the time I’m 40 and I’m really hoping we get that one down.
2. Learn Flash.  Still looking for a copy of the software without paying so much.
3. Finish the scrapbook I started for me and Scott.
4. Memorize a whole chapter of Scripture.  Maybe more.  I knew a girl that memorized Romans in high school.
5. Get a boob job.  If I get one, I should do it before I’m 40.
6. Get my acne cleared up.  It’s gotten a lot better but still more to go.
7. Learn to send out birthday cards to family members.
