Oh you lucky dog! I would have to come up with 43 things to do before I turn 43!! Thanks for visiting my blog, it was so nice to have you. You asked where I keep my “treausres”, well I live in the ‘burbs and have a little more than 600 square feet to work with AND I have an office with a HUGE closet to hide my goodies from my adorable husband. “This?” I’ve had this forever!”
a) thanks for brightening my day! youre my first comment! š
b) its amazingly hard to come up with things that are fun to-dos and not “i neeeed to do”
c) good luck on your list! i have a friend doing a 32 before 32 … itll be fun to see what she comes up with!
