I will be 50 years old in just a few short months. I don't want (or need) any big celebration. But I think I would like to do some fun, some simple, some off the wall, some gotta do it once kind of things to mark the occasion. My goal is to spend 2015 completing the following list of 50 things that meet the criteria.
1. Camp at Crater Lake
2. Spend a day hiking
3. Get a "wild" manicure/pedicure
4. Take a train
5. Go someplace in Washington I have never been.
6. Go someplace in Oregon I have never been.
7. Go somewhere in the US I have never been.
8. Sing Karioke....but not in a bar.
9. Learn to ride a motorcycle (yes, a scooter would qualify)
10. Go on a mission's trip
11. Go horseback riding - this is big because I am very afraid of horses.
12. Learn Italian
13. Take a cooking class
14. Spend a day doing random acts of kindness
15. Get a wild hair color....temporary, for like a day
16. Get a massage. I've had a few for physical therapy/health purposes, but I'm talking about a relaxed, pampered, feel good massage.

19. Learn to shoot a gun
20. Learn a ballroom dance with Jerry
21. Zipline
22. Host some kind of a theme party

After reviewing my list, I realize a couple of things:
*I am gonna need some help from family and friends to get this all done.
*Some things may need to be altered or modified to accomplish.
*Fifty is gonna be awesome!
