Goals for age Thirty-Five:

    Donate my unwanted body hair to Locks Of Love (oh, I know it needs to measure 12 inches)

    See if I can score “before” hand modeling gigs for warts/dry skin/bad cuticle cream commercials

    Reinstate co-custody, staying at my Mom’s Condo every other week

    Deliver this psychosomatic third baby already (or at least stop planning I’m One in A Hundred post in which I get pregnant despite my gal pal Mirena IUD)

    Try mincing words

    Unfurrow brow

    Use less italics

    Complete stages of grief regarding “green” toilets with approximately one-cup of flushing water. I’m still angry

    Perform Bat-ZITSvah to signal acne that I am now a woman, and ready to join the ranks of the blemish-free

    Realize life-long goal of touching toes.

    Start second blog to organize the masses of those-not-touching-toes on our quest. Record and sell motivational tapes in this effort. Organize fun-run. Make sure everyone stretches afterward.

    1. Touching toes is overrated. I am very flexible and can do that regardless of how completely out of shape I am. It’s not a real indicator of physical fitness. Let me know if you need any help organizing the fun run. I won’t run of course, because I’m completely out of shape – but I can make everyone feel inadequate during the group stretch. Hey – I have to be the best at SOMETHING!

    2. My little stretchy yoga friend made me try and touch my toes in front of all my friends before dinner the other night. I could try and explain how embarrassing it was, but here I come to find you’re like President of this future toe touchers club. Sign me up

    3. I think that all of these things could def. happen before Saturday. 🙂 And, honestly, I am baffled that you can’t touch your toes. How is that possible?? You do yoga, you run, you seem all healthy and fit. Are you legs abnormally long in relation to your arms or something??

      😉 Happy upcoming birthday, beeyotch.

    4. Happy Birthday!! I wish I was 35! Good luck with all the goals! Hand model is something I could do as well, the before of coarse! My nephew did some hand modeling actually made good money!

    5. What? Birthday? Crap, what did I miss? I’m an organized-thinking nightmare right now…
      Something about farts I’m meant to mention…can’t recall.
      Whistlin’? :))

    6. 35 was a fun age. But I do remember the acne. Go figure. I didn’t break out at all (well, maybe one or two zits) and then became a pepperoni pizza face in my twenties and thirties. The good news – it has gone away in my 40s.

      Happy Birthday! You set some great goals.

    7. You know I love you Annie, and I don’t know how to say this delicately, but even a before hand model needs to have…ummmmm…non-gnome-like thumbs;)
      Welcome to 35, I’ve been here a few months now, and as long as I don’t think about it I’m fine!
      xoxo

    8. TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY???

      AND YOUR 35??

      HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY HILARIOUS LADY!!

      #1 is hysterical!!! Now I know what to do with my unwanted body hair!!! Thanks you solved 1 of my many problems!!!

    9. Congrats on the awards! Those are some mighty steep goals you set for yourself! I’m uhhhhhhh not quite sure they accept body hair though… hey I could be wrong! It’s happened one other time

    10. Wait till you reach 40! I love your fabulous “Perform Bat-ZITSvah” what the heck – I thought pimples/acne was supposed to stop at 18!

    11. Happy almost your birthday! Damn you’re organized…I haven’t even thought of a 35 list of goals.

      Run in your fun run…yeah…that’s what I’m going to do. I can see the tees…Ann’s Runners…Running for Ann…Rant n’run…Work Week Wunners… Sorry…writing from work!

    12. This seems like quite an appropriate list for anyone after 20. Or maybe I’m aging quickly? Hmph. Plus, you left out “buy orthopedic shoes.” Oh, wait, no… that’s another 35 years. 😉

      Happy birthday to you and good luck touching your toes. I find it helps to be only 5 ft tall.

    13. I donated to locks of love a few years back. I don’t know about you but I had to get mine in there quick, they don’t want it after it goes gray.

    14. 35, seriously? Good heavens, I’m o**. I can’t bring myself to type it. I pretend I’m 35. (my 13 yo just just her regular hair today for Locks of Love and she’s thrilled she looks older)
