Making a list

2 Fellow bloggers (Julia and Marcia) have both recently suggested I consider doing a list seeing as my birthday is next week.  This will be a list of things that I will attempt to achieve in my 35th (cough, splutter, splutter, cough, cough) year.  Sigh!  35 sounds so old! 

So until my birthday next week I'll have to give it a bit of a think.  It is a great idea, but right now my list mostly consists of doing dishes, and laundry and tidying the kids' rooms yet again (am I the only parent whose kids can't keep their rooms tidy?) - this week was pretty good fun though as I tried my hand at some basic website design (and a welcome distraction to the usual chores at home), but now that I've done it I can't really add this to my list of 35.  I can't exactly put chores on this list either, but certainly my Christmas Project I would think.  I was going to put a 5km run on the list, but now I'm not so sure if that's going to work.  So far my knee is still sensitive.  So maybe I must change it to a 5km walk and do the 5km walk part of the 5km run / walk event.  Hmmm, I wonder how long they give you to walk 5km in one of these fun run events???  I would hate to be dead last!

So I'll need to give it a bit of a think. 

And apart from that tomorrow we are catching up with good friends for lunch, Bianca has her cheerleading practice and on Sunday Terence has a tenpin bowling match with work buddies.  I'm hoping to do some more work maybe also on my garden setup, but we'll see.

So what are your weekend plans?

Hi Lea, I used to think 35 was old too... now that I'm looking at it through 60-something eyes - it's YOUNG (lol):D)
Enjoy planning your list and have a great weekend with your lovely family and friends.
I'm out in the garden for most of ours.

Well Happy Birthday just in case I miss it. You are a youngin'. I think that is always a hard list to do. I only wanted to see the mountains and taste the ocean all my life when I was 54 I flew to Vancouver all by myself terrified of heights It was thew best thing I ever did. Sen hours in the air. I am so glad I had only those two things on my list. Now I want to take the train to Vancouver it is a four day trip, with one backpack and by myself before I am sixty in two years.
Point being pick on big thing , do it then make another one. Have a good one. B
