Yes. This happened. I have successfully avoided all forms of large group embarrassment during my years teaching at the middle school. Until this year. Apparently, me blogging 40 adventures before 40 requires me to take on challenges that are WAY out of my comfort zone. Let me share all my excuses first: I like attention. … Continue reading #33 Dunk Tank
I know you're wondering why this is an adventure... Or maybe you're wondering why I am behind on my writing... Or maybe both. Or most likely neither. I'm going to tell you anyway, my faithful readers. I'm behind because the end of the school year happened and that is a crazy time all by itself … Continue reading #32 Moving Up and Moving On
So in keeping with my current giving back thing, my husband and I added a random acts of kindness adventure. Okay...wait. I added random acts of kindness and my husband nodded and smiled and said whatever makes you happy. Gosh I've trained him so well... Now I know the idea behind random is that it's … Continue reading #31 RAK Date Night
Okay this feels kind of lame. That I'm writing this up and counting it, but let me explain my ways... The story: I want to give back. You know, do something that's not just about me. I had never donated blood before. I don't know why, it just wasn't a thing I ever considered. But … Continue reading #30 Blood Donation Fail

After I turned 18 and when … Continue reading #29 Inked
Book nerds unite... Yeah. One of those. You know where book nerds get together and have an enlightening discussion about a recently read book. Ummm...no not really. A book club where we (still book nerds) read a book (because we all literally love reading), but we mostly just get together to chat, laugh, share stories … Continue reading #28 Start a Book Club
Stitch Fix is like Christmas morning once a month. When that box arrives on the porch, it's just that exciting. Well, it would probably be more exciting if I wasn't a cheater. So there's an app and when your item ships you can see what's coming in advance. I know, I know. But I've never … Continue reading Stitch Fix #18, Reveal #1
Doesn't that sound like a name I should call myself... "Angie the Adventura" Can't you just hear it now...Angie the Adventura has done it again. She's proven that almost 40 is not too old to hang from ropes and complete death defying acts. Okay so for the real picture my husband just added... "In the … Continue reading #27 Adventura
So we've been gathering Alaska Airlines miles for a few years now. You know making all our monthly purchases on the credit card and then paying it off at the end of each month. It's been eye-opening, let me tell you. If you want to know exactly how much money you spend, you should go … Continue reading #26 San Fran
Actually building anything... This is one of those spontaneous "wasn't part of my plan originally but deserves a spot in Angie's 40 before 40 Adventure Hall of Fame." Yes I made that up. There's not really an Angie's Adventure Hall of Fame. I'm thinking there should be though. And I also think Bill Nye should … Continue reading #25 Building a Greenhouse
