never give up, that's right! and i love the positive look on things! i turned 39 this summer and were we on vacation, so i just sat on the beach...that was awesome! i never thought i'd still be parenting an infant at this stage, but i so love it! and, i guess my addition to your list...i will be 'older and wiser' than the other parents!

You have 'Finish French Course' on the list twice. What a neat idea, but I'm creeping up on 44... I'm not sure there's a lot of things I'm willing to do 44 times.

Thanks for stopping by on my SITS day.

The list of 38 is a great idea. I think that's probably a good way of harnessing your energy about the birthday. Happy birthday and all the best with it!

Oh - why did you have to remind me as well? I only have a few days left to go before reaching the same age... Maybe I should adopt your idea with things to do ?!

belated happy birthday! you have an amazing list of things to do and I hope you will really be able to accomplish everything. I noticed you put in "finish French lessons" twice, was that intentional?

inggit ako kasi gusto ko rin sana matuto ng French.

Let it snow, let it snow--man!

The rasta-inspired creation of my hubby and Ms.K After loads of rolling here and there, it's done. Our first snowman of the season.;)It might not last long and will surely lose its precious eyes by tomorrow, but for now let's enjoy that smile. This reminds me of something, I just can't put my finger on it. Hmmm, do you have any idea? Think...think...! Eh-oh! Smile, it's Monday!

Vacation over

It's kinda hard to get up early again after 2 weeks of staying up late.I've started taking the girls early to bed and of course, they're awake at around 6h30. My husband on the other hand has started working and I think he misses his late mornings. Now it's back to normal sched again. Now, I'm lazily doing my chores and still hoping that my mug of coffee will take effect soon. How do you get back to normal routine after weeks of vacation?

He's everywhere and there's no way one can avoid him. Shopping centers, sidewalks, balconies! I have yet to see one up on the chimney.
