So how'd I do on the 30 before 30 list?

On the eve of my 30th I thought I’d try out one of those 30 by 30 checklists the magazines are always going on about, I found this at sheknows.com and it’s been uhm enlightening…

1. Try an extreme sport
I don’t think I even know what an extreme sport is, so no, but I like body boarding (liked- in my bikini days) and the other day I went on a boat 60kms into the sea to release a elephant seal back into the wild, I was sea sick in front of a nature documentary crew, it doesn’t get more extreme (or embarrassing) than that

just kidding I don’t iron

2. Date a bad boy
Boys… I had worst taste in guys before my husband, let men use me for money, favors and even just to be the girl you introduce to your mom while you fool around in the background… I was even the other woman without knowing.

3. Open a retirement account
Yeah I have this (okay so it was set up by work and by Rob, but it exists)

4. Dye your hair a crazy color
I don’t dye my hair, I was once held down by by sister and a friend who forcefully put blonde streaks in my hair, but that’s it for me and adventure in colour. I have really big hair don’t need to dye it and look like bozo

5. Do a girls-trip. Just because
Yes!!! best memories, whoop whoop, CT for a concert, EL for a weekend long party (there were guys chaperoning this one but we were single so it still counts) Mosel Bay (chaperoned) and EL just me and two gal pals

6. Sing Karaoke
I sang on stage LOADS in my life even won the media version of a game show with my rendition of cococabana . . . you know music and fashion were always my passion – hehehe

7. Pay off your credit cards
uhmmmmm – the mind is willing but the wallet is weak

8. Buy something totally frivolous, ridiculously expensive and utterly fabulous
I’m a sensible shopper (tell this to my credit cards) but I do go into YDE shoe sale like ……

9. Fall in love
Yes!!!!

10. Crash a party
Oh wow YES with my late friend Mso – Elle magazine fashion launch, whoop whoop
