Remember when I said I was going to do something wild and crazy I've never done before to celebrate my milestone birthday which is coming this Tuesday? Well, I've decided one wild and crazy thing isn't enough. Why not 40 fun things? It is the age I'm turning. I will spend the next year trying 40 Firsts, before arriving on my 41st birthday next year! I've started a little early, but I've got #1 and #2 under my belt thanks to my big sister.
Saturday she took me to Silverado Day Spa. We began with "Trains" (#1) which are a blended iced coffee drink (shake). We ordered mocha flavored with whipped cream. It wasn't iced coffee. It was more like a milkshake. A few years ago she corrupted me with my first Starbucks. Now I'm going to be craving these "Trains".
Trains in hand, we headed to our pedicures (#2). I was nervous because I have very ticklish feet. It turned out to be fabulous, and I'm a believer now! You must have a pedicure at least once in your life! We sat in heated massage chairs that reclined back. Our feet were first placed in a heated, bubbling foot bath with scented aromatherapy. The actual pedicure wasn't ticklish at all, and I think its because I was so relaxed. My feet were pampered with exfoiliants, oils, massages and a shiny coat of pretty pink polish.
So now I'm brainstorming for #3. What I'm really hoping for is that as I reach 40, I will reclaim a desire to try new things and cast fears away.

:) the "train" sounds yummy
Record a song! In a real recording studio THAT is a lot of fun! In highschool my Jazz group did this.
What a great idea!!
(maybe a "melon-head" tattoo....)
I have heard a mani/pedi IS a must. I haven't been able to justify the money for those tho! LOL Plus, I'm too rough on my hands to warrant a mani. LOL
Happy early Birthday!
Hope you get a lot of things done on your list!
Have fun doing 38 more things.
Have a happy birthday too.
What a great idea! Sounds like lots of fun too. Have a awesome birthday!
Do you have an actual list written down? Or are you coming up with the things as you go? I look forward to hearing about all your "firsts" adventures. This will be great blogging material in this next year to come!
Happy Birthday!
As I go along, where ever inspiration takes me.
Sounds like an exciting year ahead for you.
I DO like this idea and I might even copy you! 40 new things this year...........I know I did feel different this year........like it WAS a time for new beginnings! :) Who knows? I may even splurge and do the mani/pedi/massage thing. LOL
Did you ever try white water rafting ?? You don't have to go to Colorado, they do it up here in the Northern Wisconsin too
#38: Go to Australia and visit Mommykore.
This is such a neat idea.....I turn 30 next year. I may have to "borrow" your idea and have a year of 30 firsts
