Have you ever noticed?

Have you noticed around New Years time, a lot of people will make a list of things that they WONT do anymore?

Ridiculous notions, such as giving up the glorious temptation of chocolate.

Seriously.....why do that?

*eyes up pantry*

I have several to do lists...YUP.....I AM totally one of those painful people who forever wants to try something new!

Recent events have certainly given me a bit of a shake up (pardon the pun) there really are so many things that I have yet to try.

Last year before my 30th, I had made mention of wanting to try a bungee jump,despite having a paralyzing fear of heights!

One of my dear friends bought me the ticket, although not entirely ruled by superstition, the 3 dozen white roses that accompanied it did make me hold off a little.

A short time later, the business operating the jump was shut down due to mishap.

So while my to do right now might not be very daring and adventurous, there really are some personal projects I need to finish up!

For many years I have wanted dreads put in, the synthetic kind.

So this is first up on the list.....I have a good friend in Palmerston North putting these in for me in a couple of weeks. I can't wait to see what it looks like, let's just hope I don't look like a right conk.

I really have put this off for too long, and you know what, I really can't think of a decent reason why!
