T-Minus Two Weeks

What, exactly, does the "T" in "T-Minus..blah blah" mean anyway? If anyone knows, feel free to educate me!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SO...as promised here is the list, partially finished and in no particular order, of goals I have for my 40th year.

1. Lose 100 pounds.
2. Get a tattoo.
3. Learn French.
4. Go on a vacation ALL BY MYSELF.
5. Complete some sort of marathon.
6. Go back to school.
7. Learn to like the taste of wine.
8. Explore religion.
9. Quit smoking.
10. ???
11. ???
12. ???

As you can see, there are still a few spots open. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
