Wow that's a long list! mmmm Diet Dr. Pepper! I think that's my downfall!
Tennis lessons, yes, a good plan!
And nice to meet you. You might be interested to know that Marriage Monday has a new home. If you're planning to post your marriage wisdom some time this week (open topic) I'd love to have you link up at Chrysalis.
Blessings, e-Mom
I gave up Diet Pepsi and it was really hard. I now can hardly drink soda at all.
See my blog for help on the will. I wrote my own memorial service. Everyone freaked out. :)
I think you should add, celebrate your 40th birthday with a minimal of 4 parties and over a period of months. My 40th was in the summer and I celebrated all summer long.
