43 Things

I've been working on a 43 Things list. It's basically a life list. Why 43? I dunno, cuz I'd heard of the 43 Things website before and it seemed as good a number as any.

I've been working on this list for a couple of months. I finally have 43 things. There is no time limit or deadline on these things. Some are easy, one or two are likely impossible, but if I did every one of them I think that'd be incredibly cool. They are all things I have never done.

I really tried to make it meaningful, and not full of just "see X place" and "travel to Y place". Here it is!
1.  Attend a Price is Right taping with Mason
2.  Become a tea snob
3.  Belly-dance
4.  Buy the U.S.-banned Elnett hairspray in London
5.  Camp overnight on a beach
6.  Complete a physical race or competition
7.  Cross-country ski or snowshoe
8.  Drive a Segway
9.  Drive stick shift
10. Eat seafood at San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf
11. Follow a cleaning *routine* so that our place is always ready for spontaneous guests
12. Gawk at the Macy’s Manhattan Christmas windows
13. Get a little vanity that I can sit at to do my hair and makeup
14. Get good enough at small talk that I don’t dread it
15. Go out to breakfast with a friend before work
16. Go to one of those painting classes
17. Have a movie-style car-washing water fight with my husband
18. Host a miracle berries party
19. Ice skate
20. Implement a strength-training routine
21. Learn how to dance
22. Learn self-defense
23. Live in my own house that I bought
24. Pet a rabbit
25. Read tarot competently
26. Rent out a residence that I own to somebody else for income
27. See a luau in Hawaii
28. See the cherry blossoms in Japan
29. See the Newseum in Washington DC
30. Sew a piece of clothing
31. Shoot a gun
32. Shop at Powell’s bookstore in Portland
33. Sisters-only vacation with Amber (spa vacation?)
34. Speak on the radio as an expert
35. Surf
36. Take Kai on a trip
37. Throw a huge bash that people travel from all over to attend (10th wedding anniversary?)
38. Travel overnight by train
39. Undergo a full-body lift
40. Watch a SNL taping
41. Watch the entire Friday Night Lights series while exercising
42. Wear a giant floppy hat at one of those fancy pools where waiters bring you things to you poolside
43. Wine-taste in Sonoma
