Well, folks, I’ve been 33 now for two full weeks. And I must say, it really doesn’t feel any different than 32. Or 31 for that matter. Maybe that's because I have been so busy with life I haven't had time to reflect on how old I really am.
However, I decided that since this might be the last cool birthday I have (admit it, turning 33 on 3-3 IS pretty neat) I should make it count. So, thanks to the idea of a “Bucket List” from my friends Mandee and Cecilia, here’s the 33 things I will attempt to accomplish by my next birthday.
