Did LMH again today as I am driving tomorrow as have to pick up the dogs. Started of like an olympic sprinter but ended up like Neil Armstrong on the Moon.

Nevermind. Got a couple of stories swirling in my head thanks to the walk. But have to get a couple finished before I venture into greener pastures.

The long march was achieved with the help of Nickleback, James Morrison and others. I just stomped all the way to the in-laws.

Boring day at work. No structure there at the moment, like a boat that has skipped its anchor.

I have booked a beginners course skiing at the end of the month so am in training so that i don't get laughed off the slope. I broke into another new stonage. Only about a dozen left to go. Where I am started from, specifics don't help.

The story, I have published a bit of in on a website and there have been positive comment and they would like more but I just don't have the time to get into that place right now. I am on my second assignment for my MSc and I passed the first one but dismally so need to do better this time.

Not to sure what the challenge of the day will be for tomorrow. I may do the LMH but I have the start of a blister on my left foot.

Step one.... The long march home

I am going to walk home from work. We not exactly home but to the in-laws house. I will arm myself with my IPod classic, a suitable pace setting soundtrack and a headset of determination. Too the moon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I need to sort myself out!!!!!!!

In almost two years I am going to be 40. Forty. Four.... Ow.

Am scared. I will be OLD. A Old person.

I need to give myself a list/promise/present for my 40th Year.

Forget the damn olympics, it is MY year.

plans are afoot to inject my life with a much needed adrenaline short.

MY BUCKET LIST..... WHAT I PROMISE YOU, TRICKLETREE, TO HAVE ACHIEVED BY YOUR FORTIETH BIRTHDAY....

1. To look in the mirror and LOVE what I see.

- Get fit

- Get slim

- Get style (whatever it may be, preferably rock chick with an edge)

2. Be happy with myself, who I am, what I have achieved.

3. Gain my Masters and start on my Phd for my fiftieth gift

4. Take up skiing.

5. Take up scuba diving.

6. Finish a novel and be pleased with it.

7. Learn to not give a f*ck what anyone thinks of me.

8. Have loads of sex.

9. Read... read and what was that read.

10. BE THE PERSON I WANT TO BE INSIDE AND OUT!!!!!!

I get these huge crushes on men, I would follow them off a cliff. I think it is because they are living aspect of the life I want to live.

I need to pull my finger out and start finding out what that is. I need to carve myself out of this marble cage. Wanderer, intellectual, academic, hippy, lover, doggie mum, sexy wife, adventurer, a tall glass of water.

Today is the 31st January 2010 and I have two years and three months to achieve perfection. I shall keep you posted.
