double excitement, double the fun with....

well, not double mint gum because I'm allergic to aspertame like 50% of America.
I say double because tomorrow I'll be 33.... double 3's.
Last year I promised the unexpected and I'm pretty sure I followed through.
What have I done this year:
gained 55 lbs.... well that was unexpected (thanks old lady meds that I'll be changing soon)
lost family (another attribute to being old)
went to disney, chicago, Grand Canyon, Great wolf lodge, the amazing tour of the south East, and other sundry wonderful unexpected destinations along the way.
started homeschooling ( unexpected for all)
moved into an apartment,... and out of an apartment
learned to go with the flow (unexpected for me)
actually did pinterest things I' pinned (and I would post more of them if my camera would hook up to the computer)
became a weeeeeeee bit more computer savvy (depending on who you ask)
have read many books (only unexpected because I have 4 kids)
moved from chas to VA and soon to France and by next year I'll be moving to N. Africa

I think I've done enough unexpected things to scare an Elephant into stampeding.
What do I look forward to this year?
 I'm going to learn how to ski (better)
I'm going to lose those darn 55 lbs.... and hopefully shove them under the couch I'll be getting off of.
I'm going to eat stinky cheese
I'm going to become proficient in a new language
I'm going to make new friends
I would say I'm going to be a better mom and wife, but everyone would send me emails saying I already am and I'm not in the mood to argue....
I'm going to become computer literate
I'm going to ride a vespa
I am going to try on a uni-kini
I'm going to sing on the eiffel tower and wear a berret
I'm going to travel out of the country
I'm going to learn to cook a meat that shouldn't be eaten ... like antelope
I'm going to NOT COUPON
 I'm going to eat bread, and love it

pretty much a mid life crisis year right? except without the crisis
so what shall we call it... it's a year of mid life.... dang I hope I don't die by 66.... but then again, I'll go out with a bang , won't I .... to a year of MID LIFE!!!
