10 Things I've Never Done

With my big 40 only being 14 days away, I figured I would share a few things that I have yet to do...some of them are silly and some are ones I actually would like to do, preferably sooner rather than later.

1. I haven't learned to speak another language fluently yet. I want to do this for no other reason than to say that I actually did it. Oh, and to curse at people who can't understand what I'm saying.
2. I haven't finished writing my book. I keep finding myself making wishes that it would just be done already, that it would edit and publish itself, and that I could make a bazillion dollars off my best selling novel...all while I sit here and read blogs and chat with other people. It can happen right? (writing a book has been the most challenging thing for me thus far in my life, I hate having a.d.d)
3. I haven't spent the night in a haunted place. This one is more Mr. Husband's fault. (That's right honey, I said it). We watch a ton of paranormal shows and have seen some freaky stuff. And we have both had some experiences in our past. And while I welcome a ghost to come talk to me or to touch me, Mr. Husband does NOT share my feelings on that. Guess it's something I'll be doing alone.
4. I have yet to run any kind of marathon. Yeah, my body hates me. My head screams what a great idea this is and what a awesome achievement it would be, but then my legs club my head in my sleep and I forget about it.
5. I have yet to have a mammogram. I have enough pain in my boobs without having them squished flat. No thank you!
6. I haven't met anyone famous. Gerard, Hugh, are either of you two available?
7. I've never thrown up after riding a ride anywhere. This one makes me happy as I am not one who enjoys throwing up at all. I'd rather break a bone than vomit. Just saying...
8. I've never been to New York. I want to go to New York City and see everything there is to see. I wouldn't want to live there, but I could tolerate a couple of days of visiting.
9. I've never been out of the U.S. - I have always wanted to go to Scotland. It's part of my heritage and I would love to go and just hang out with locals and see the castles. I wouldn't make any guarantees I would make it back. Hello, have you seen some of the men over there?? Do you blame me? (Mr. Husband has a thing for the Scottish ladies, he says the same thing)
10. I never finished college. This one is important, not only for the education part of it, but also because no female in my family has ever done it. It would be nice to be the first one to do it. And it would look nice on the information page on the novel that is going to finish itself and make me rich.

What things have you not done yet that you would love to accomplish?
