30 Days of Turning 30: Day 9




I'm sitting in my apartment watching the lightning on the beach and patting myself on the back for completing Day 9 earlier today when the only hurdle was ridiculously oppressive heat. A friend of mine sent me a link today about a girl who actually pulled this off for an entire YEAR. From her 29th birthday to her 30th, she did something every day that scared her. I think it's really admirable for someone to be so committed. (cough, cough, SHOWOFF). But seriously some of what I read gave me some ideas for what I can do before my 30 days are up and I'm also open to suggestions from anyone else, especially if you're willing to partake in an adventure with me!



Today I went Go-Karting with my cousin and I'm somewhat disgusted with myself for never before having ridden one. It's on the ground, it doesn't go that fast and I'm the one in control the entire time. Really I can only attribute it to pure laziness. I attempted to take some video, but steering those damn things with one hand is not that easy. And to be honest, the entire time I felt like I should be trying to crash into the other car a la bumper cars. So it felt like something was missing. But it was easier than riding a tandem bike and it was definitely fun. I'll post the video when I get home from the beach on Sunday, even though it's a pretty uneventful 30 seconds.



For the first time I'm going to "advertise" an upcoming day, which will be my actual birthday (Day 23), when the fabulous Kat Murello will auction off a night of dinner and bowling with ME as a way to raise money for the Avon Breast Cancer Walk later this year. So get your wallets ready!! Do I hear $10??? Anybody? Anybody? Bueller?
