40 by 40

I saw this on someone else's blog, except as 30 by 30, and thought it was a great idea to get my ass moving on some things I've always wanted to do. I'll be 33 in a month, and want to give myself ample time to accomplish my goals, so I'm going with 40 by 40. That's forty things to accomplish by the time I turn 40. I have until 2020 to do all of these things. Sounds easy enough...
Note: this list is a work in progress, and I'll be adding to it as I think of things. And, hopefully, I'll be bolding the ones I've accomplished.

1. Visit Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park (they are right next to each other, so I'm combining them into one).

2. Take my son to Disney World.

3. Have more children! At least one, and then decide if we want more.

4. Take a honeymoon with my husband. Likely for our five-year anniversary, in 2014. We were married courthouse-style when I was 3 months pregnant. We've been married for four years and have yet to go on our honeymoon!

5. Write a book. I don't even care if it gets published. It would be nice to get published...but I really just want to write a book!

6. Quit smoking!!! Planning for this to happen in the very near future.

7. Learn how to sew. I've had a sewing machine for several years, and it's still in the box.

8. Become a morning person. I do not like mornings, but I want to. It seems like I could get so much more accomplished and be a little happier if I was a 'morning person.' I'd love to wake up and NOT rush around to get out the door every morning.

9. Sell my jewelry and/or crafts at a craft show. At least once.

10. Go to Europe. Spain and Greece are at the top of my list.

11. Buy an alpaca. Yes, I'm serious. My goal for retirement is to have an alpaca farm, so I'd like to own at least one by the time I'm 40. You can buy animals and grow your herd and keep them on someone else's farm until you can take them.

12. Delete my Facebook account. It's a serious time sucker and I'd say about 98% of my "friends" are really just nosy fucks who don't care if I live or die. Soon.

13. Get a certification to teach yoga.

14. Move to the beach. This is a big one...and this might sound fucked up, but this will depend on my parents. If they're still around when I'm 40, I'm not going anywhere. You never know...they might be living at the beach by the time I'm 40. All I know is that I will live at the beach some day.

15. Write a letter to my ex mother-in-law. I want her to know why I left her son, and I want to apologize for all the pain I caused her and her family (not my ex).

16. Take dance lessons with my husband.

17. Take a cake decorating class.

18. Do a juice cleanse.

19. Take a cooking class.

20. Take an art class...probably painting. Maybe ceramics. Maybe both.

21. Get a bikini wax. Always wanted to try it at least once.

22. Knit or crochet something. I don't know how many times I've started something and not finished it. I want to actually complete something.

23. Host a real dinner party.

24. Volunteer at a pet shelter.

25. Learn to use Photoshop.

26. Finish making the workshop area in my basement my own. Right now it's still covered in my grandfather's stuff from 30 years ago.
