What am I gonna do with my year and of course - Yearly Firsts List!
Twenty Eight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah so I think I had more of a freak out about this year than I will about 30. Not on the actual day mind you, just a bit of nagging feeling that the inevitable (I hope anyway) 30 is looming right around the corner.
It makes me think "what have I done with my life!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG I have to get so much more done in the next two years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course being the borderline OCD type A personality that I am, having these thoughts is par for the course. But they crop up with more gusto these days and fill me with a little more "Ahhhh" than usual.
So my yearly tradition/solution - write up the yearly firsts. Things that I haven't experience, been offered, tasted, lived or loved. That coupled with a set of reasonable and (some) outlandish goals for the year and I should be right as rain. Until 29 that is :) But oddly I have a good feeling about 29...we'll see.
First up on the list of yearly firsts (oh and this list will be updated all year, otherwise I will never keep it all straight).
Being asked to participate in a surprise Spanking Party for one of my friend's boyfriend/fiance/partner. I haven't decided if I will do it or not, but nice to be asked :)
Had biodynamic yogurt from the outdoor weekend food market at 203 St. in upper Manhattan :) Yummy!
Took a swig of "Scorpion Vodka" which had the actual scorpion in the bottle (said bottle made up to look like a vial you extract medicine from with a syringe). It tasted like Scotch! With a numbing affect on your lips and tongue because of the neurotoxins found in the Scorpion venom :) Cool huh?!
Had Rabbit and Quail egg Pate made by one of the Chefs from Vin Rouge in Durham NC! Along with a platter of other delicious Pate offerings :)
Went to my first Korean Cafeteria on 32nd and 5th with a friend who grew up in Tel Aviv.
Ran a bar at the Tableau Vivant performance art/living picture project (made a few tips too :).
Got engaged to an amazing man.
Got married to the same amazing man! And we were married on Monday in Sarah Small's Tableau Vivant at One Hanson Place in Brooklyn. I will post video asap because I can't cover all the firsts involved in that event/wedding :) !!!
Had Sharan Worden sing at our wedding!!!!!!!!!!!!
Was a model with my beautiful husband in the second performance the day after we got married - oh and we were both nude for that show :)
Was given the most amazing, artistic, beautiful ring in the world with 19 diamonds!!!!! A girl couldn't ask for more.
Had more "bridesmaids" than any girl could dream of 110 models in all - a lot of them women :)
Attended the Pagan wedding of two friends called a hand fasting.
Spent a weekend at the Jersey Shore in Ocean Grove and Asbury which is lovely - although who knew that Ocean Grove was a Christian based community and a dry town? They don't even open the beach until noon on Sunday's because everyone is at church lol.
Had a bacon milk shake for the first time.
