I am 33 now. If you’d asked me a week ago how I felt about turning 33, I would have winced and bored you to tears about how\u00a0old<\/em> it sounds, how I had wished I’d accomplished so much more by now, how I’m not really looking forward to being the age my mother was when she had me. But now that I am here, I realize it’s not much different than 32. Maybe it’s all the cake I’ve had the past few days, but I feel happy, hopeful and inspired. <\/p>\n

So. In the spirit of my pal Andrea<\/a>, I’m making a list of 33 things to do in my 33rd year. Here we go…<\/p>\n

1. Get an iPhone<\/a><\/span>.
\n2. Write a book. it doesn’t have to be the<\/strong> book, just a book. It doesn’t have to be good, just done.
\n3. Make a zine.
\n4. Plant a little herb garden.
\n5. Bake a loaf of no-knead bread<\/a>.
\n6. Lighten my load.
\n7. Sew pillows with the Denyse Schmidt fabric I’ve been saving.
