40 Things By Age 40
Hi! Now that my 40th birthday has passed I won’t be updating this list any longer to keep track of what I have completed. Feel free to read the original post below. If you want to witness the progression of this list here ya go:
- My Original Bucket List (published in 2011)
- My 40 by 40 List (published in 2011)
- How Did I Do On Completing My 40 by 40 List? (published May 2016)
- My 50 by 50 List (published March 2018)
aaaand now back to your regularly scheduled blog post. 🙂
A couple weeks ago I was on Twitter & noticed a couple of my #sistatribe members, Kesha {Uncommonchick.com} and Andrea {SkinnyRiches.com}, tweeting about “40 by 40”. Upon further inspection, I realized they had each made short-term “bucket lists” of 40 goals they’d like to accomplish before the fabulous age of 4-0. I already maintain a bucket list here, but decided to join in on the fun {since goal-setting is right up my alley}.
I’ll be 40 in 4.5 years, and by then I would like to:

Oooooh, good list!
Okay, so here I go with my input 🙂
#2 – I’m coming to visit!!
#8 – I think that will be too cute – shave sides!
#9 – it’s me and you; we already there!
#14 – so much fun!
#32 – oooh, both of us could do it together since we both have this one!
#35 – ha ha I’m sure you’ll have no problem there 🙂
#40 – you can borrow my cat if you want a test run…wait, she’s spoil so that may not work out 🙂

#2 – Totally! Actually our ultimate plan is to build a home in the Virgin Islands with a designated seperate apartment or guest house so fam/friends can come down to the VI and stay free of change. One day 🙂
#14 – Have you done it? I’m gonna book one of those downtown tours and do it 🙂
#32 – Ooh yes! Please be advise I’ll probably pee myself from fear on the accent {I’m afraid of heights} but eventually I’ll get used to it.
#35 – I will maintain my sexy. Plan is to wear the same dress on my wedding day and on my 25th anniversary renewal 🙂
#40 – Girl I’ve owned 4 cats in my life so I don’t need no trial run, I know how them fur babies be. I miss my fur babies :*( waaaaaaaaaaaaa
Uncommon Chick

Great list. Come to NYC soon so we can knock some of these things out of the way! Not the ball drop though. been there done that – I’m ok with not exploring it again
glamazini
I’ll be in NY next year for BlogHer 2012 {#9} so maybe then?! I’ve already promised myself the next time I’m in NY I’m walking across the Brooklyn Bridge ’cause it really makes no sense how many opportunities I’ve had to do so and didn’t #fail.
The Cubicle Chick
I feel so…well…LIVED. LOL. I have conquered several things on your list, I was quite surprised to see that. Of course the kids part, walk across the Brooklyn Bridge part, visit Phoenix (hell I lived there for 5 years), BlogHer, income independent on location, I could go on and on. LOL. But this is not about ME, it’s about YOU and I hope that I am with you when you conquer many of the items on this list. Let’s get crackin…!
Hugs and kisses…

#11, I recently did it & blogged about my experience. I want to do this list, but I’m not sure what else I really want to do/experience besides starting/running a successful business doing what I love, becoming a homeowner, & revisiting Hawaii.
