Today is my birthday! I am officially fifty-seven.
Last year. Look at all those candles.
Now I really do have just three years to get through this list. I was hesitating on putting down the last five challenges.
Should they be really grand?
Or just five more to the list?
I decided on just five more.
I want to be able to actually complete my list and these last five are ones that fill in a couple of gaps. (In my mind.)
So, without further ado, the final five:
56. Watch Forrest Gump from start to
finish. I have never seen this movie in its entirety although I have seen bits of it. Apparently it is a movie that needs to be watched.
57. Go to an ice hockey game. Then I think I will have seen a professional one of
everything sports wise.
58. Fly fishing- take a lesson.
59. Learn 300 words of a new
language. Maybe French, maybe Swahili.
(And thanks, Harvey. I stole your challenge.)
60. Hit five restaurants in Houston that I have never been to before. We eat out all the time but always end up at the same places. Time to branch out.
I considered "unplug from electronics" for a few days. (One day?) With two teenagers and a 20 year old at home that do not know how to talk face to face I think I would be sorely challenged on that one. I may put it as a bonus challenge. I can do without the TV. Pretty addicted to my iPhone and iPad. Worse, I live with 4 people that could not/ would not join me on this one.

And how am I spending my birthday?
This fabulous friend Diana is flying in to help me celebrate. Not only is she a great friend but she has her birthday two days after mine. Sagittarians rule!
Diana and me. Do we look like sisters?
So many people say we do.
Happy Birthday to me!
And Happy Birthday to all the December born people that get their day lost in the shuffle.

Happy, happy birthday! And I agree - Forrest Gump is a must see (from start to finish)!
Happy birthday to you indeed! Agreed about Forrest Gump, and also, we have been to a couple of Houston Aeros games and they are really fun! Thankfully, they are also much less crowded than other professional sporting events... at least in Houston anyway :)
HAPPY, HAPPY, DAY, Nancie!! You look fabulous, have a wonderful time with our fellow Sag ~ try a new restaurant!
Thanks! All the cool people are Sagittarians, right?!
Thanks!
Thanks Chica- and I'm sure Ms. Clara will catch up soon- she's just a late bloomer.
Had such a fun birthday with my friend! A few presents for her, some fun dinner and a tour of Christmas lights! I guess we need to settle in for Forrest now!
