I'm Gonna' Do it

Let's play a little game.  Ya' wanna?

I have wanted to do something for many, many years.  I thought I would give you some clues, and the fun will be to see what people guess.  Game?

This thing that I have wanted to do is:

 It's kind of a big deal {to me and lots of others, no doubt!}  

If I were to announce this at a table of women of all ages, there would definitely be a myriad of opinions on it.

It is not offensive in any way.  

When I first asked Dw if I could do it {many years ago} he said "NO!"  haha

There are several different possible ways to do it.

It will be a big change for me. 

I have strong reasons for wanting to do it.  

You bloggy friends will get to watch it unfold, sort of.

Some of you have already done it. 

Some of you would never consider it.

Some of you will never have to consider it.

Come on guess!!

I will tell you today or tomorrow.  

Eeeek.  

Off to begin the process.   


69 Simply Sweet Words:

  1. Color your hair?
    If so, I do it!!

  2. Road trip to meet bloggy friends you have never met??
    Now that would be quite an adventure!! :)

  3. Color your hair was the first thing that came to mind for me too! I do it and have done it for a lllooooonnnngggg time!!! My natural color is gray!

    ReplyDelete
  4. I was thinking breast enhancement!! :)

    ReplyDelete
  5. A retreat/visit with you and some of your bloggy friends??? If so, count me in!

    ReplyDelete
  6. I'm thinking you are coloring your hair/highlighting it.
    I was SOOOO against ever coloring my hair when I was um ... 20... but now as the grays start popping up ... hmmm ... I'm rethinking that not sure if I want gray just yet! I highlighted my hair a few times in the last 2 years--LOVED it EACH time! But had a hard time justifying it ... but it did look really nice ... Hope if this IS it, that it turns out fabulous!

    ReplyDelete
  7. The clue that makes me go hmmm is the one about how some of us will never have to consider it...makes me think it is something medical, like having a hysterectomy ... I hope it is something more fun though.

  8. Maybe a tatoo with the names of all your kids? (snicker, giggle!)

    ReplyDelete
  9. Tummy tuck? If so I so want one too.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Are you going to rock the tat? That's my guess. Or get your nose pierced. Because you would look FABULOUS with a little nose stud. Just sayin...

    ReplyDelete
  11. I'm thinking you are going blonde! Why else color your hair? Just kidding. I think it definitely involves hair color, and going from brunette to blonde would be a big change, one that DW might have a hard time with.

    If that isn't right then my second guess is a nose job. Not that I think you need one, you don't, but I am thinking that new boobs is still a bit of a controversial topic, so I go with the nose. Lot's of women have done that.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I don't think it's hair coloring. But I do it regularly and highly recommend it to everyone. If I could only have a hair color or hair cut I would hands down pick color!

    I honestly have no idea what this might be but can't wait to pop on tomorrow to find out!

    ReplyDelete
  13. I'm thinking it's going to your natural color....saying no more to coloring your hair....hmmmm.....am I right? :) Can't wait to see it! You'll look beautiful!

    ReplyDelete
  14. Are you finally writing a book! I've got a headache from trying to figure it out. Please spill the beans soon!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  15. I have NO idea but the mystery sure is fun!

    ReplyDelete
  16. A tattoo? Hair extensions? LASIK - or some other brand of vision correction?

    ReplyDelete
  17. Okay...well...it's either hair coloring or Lasik! :) I've had the Lasik...LOVE IT!!!!

  18. Dye your hair? No... get a tattoo about? ...perhaps about the orphan? Hmm... SO many possibilities!!

    Skydiving?? *sigh* The suspense is DRIVING ME NUTS!!! ha ha ha

    ReplyDelete
  19. I'm thinking that you are contemplating going with a much shorter hair cut. Can't wait to find out what it is...

    ReplyDelete
  20. Since it is the first day of breast cancer awareness month I'm gonna guess that you are gonna shave of your hair in honor of a loved one.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Not sure but looking forward to finding out! :) Locks of Love? Hmmm - some of you will never have to consider it has me a bit stumped. Good luck and can't wait to hear more.

    ReplyDelete
  22. why is everyone suggesting a physical change? did i miss something?

    I am thinking it has something to do with your blog... Maybe redesign it? Maybe add a new feature? Maybe a web chat with all of us?

    But if I have a vote I say a cross-country road trip with the kids and stopping in to visit one of us in every state. :)

  23. Linny--- I love surprises.... I can't wait...
    On the other hand a retreat is such a GREAT idea. Linny pick a common city and let's do it! Come on- can you imagine a girls prayer weekend..... wow...

    ReplyDelete
  24. I'm going with tatoo art. I think you are getting a tat.

    Can't wait to find out. . .

    ReplyDelete
  25. I guess it's a hair cut or color...or a tattoo! That would be a little wild for a mama of so many.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Adopting another beautiful child?

    ReplyDelete
  27. You're going for the TAT!!! Rock it girl!!!

    ReplyDelete
  28. I'm hoping it has something to do with adoption!

    ReplyDelete
  29. I'm thinking retreat also...maybe you were thinking to invite your bloggy friends to YOUR home for a retreat! It's the only thing I think of that DW would say NO to!
    ;)

  30. VOTE?????????? (snort) *snicker* BBBWWWWHHHHHAAAAAAAAhhhhhaaaaa....

    Remember November!!!!!!!

    (I thought that DW was a little more progressive than that. He just said {NO}????).... ROFL

    ReplyDelete
  31. I am guessing a tattoo or getting something drastic done to your hair! I'm too chicken to do either one of those!

    Hugs,
    Robin

    ReplyDelete
  32. With the hint of some of you would never have to...I don't think it is tatoo, my first thought. Then I thought, breast enhancement, and that nah...she wouldn't do that.

    So I guess it must be either the hair coloring or not hair coloring...lol

    Just can't imagine... but it is fun to guess.

    Join a gym?

    ReplyDelete
  33. I have not looked at the comments yet, but as soon as I read your post, my first thought was you are getting a TATTOO!!! You go girl! I love mine~

    ReplyDelete
  34. Don't know what it is, but I'm in! :)

    ReplyDelete
  35. I say take a ride in a hot air balloon. Wait.... that is what I want to do. :) I would say probably a tatoo. Hmmmmm??????

    ReplyDelete
  36. You're piercing your belly button or your tongue? Bahahaha. No, go get the tattoo. I'll live vicariously through you.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Starting a mission or a foundation or a business of some kind?

    ReplyDelete
  38. Not an original guess at all- but I reallly think it has something to do with your hair.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I am going to guess shaving your head!!!

    I think it would be so freeing to just shave it all off...

    Hummm other than that I am not sure!!!

    ReplyDelete
  40. MY guess is contact lenses.... so annoying as I will go to bed wondering now!!!! Hope you update this soon!!!!!! Have fun whatever it is x

    ReplyDelete
  41. You are so bad, leaving us hanging!!! My guess is that you're gonna get some ink!

    Maybe Whitey's name on your pecs? Or ??? :)

    ReplyDelete
  42. Learn to drive a motorcycle, or get a tattoo, or I like Jill's about going with your natural hair color.

    ReplyDelete
  43. My first thght was you are going to shave your head. Then, I thought maybe a tattoo. I'm going to stick with shave your head.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I think you are going to jump out of an airplane!!!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Wondering if it has something to do with more children? But then again, that's always my first guess:-)

    ReplyDelete
  46. First! I think your hair is beautiful. I also think I read that you have colored it before...so that wouldn't be too exciting. I love the idea of the tatoo, but that seems like a quick thing. If we are all following along with you, it seems that it would have to be something that take some time. My best guess is "write a book." That sounds like something that would just fit. AND, I can see how your hubby didn't want you to do it before because you are a crazy busy momma. It would be fun if it was a 'juicy' romance novel. giggle.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Go to/back to school? That's my guess!

    ReplyDelete
  48. I immediately thought "she is going to shave her head!" I've always thought how freeing that would be and how beautiful some people are that have no hair. But the tattoo guesses have me second guessing myself.

    I'll stick with "shaving your head".

    ReplyDelete
  49. I'd say maybe write a book?
    Or sky diving?

    I can't wait to hear!!!

    ReplyDelete
  50. I think it's public speaking!!! And I'd love to be in the first audience cheering you on! :)

    ReplyDelete
  51. Can't wait to find out. I'm with you whatever it is, but don't let it be shaving your head (I don't think it is, but some do, so just in case I have to put in my 2 cents worth - LOL!)

    I lost my hair during chemo a few years ago and it is miserable! Your head is always either cold or hot and sweaty. I was never comfortable and when the stubble grows in that is terrible too. Just saying!

    Anything else - go for it!

  53. My first guess was the tattoo idea. But my final answer is get a part-time job outside the home? It's hard to imagine how you could pull it off, but it seems to fit all of your clues...?

    ReplyDelete
  54. Run for office of some kind! That's my guess!

    :)
    Janet and gang

    ReplyDelete
  55. Hmmm....public speaking?

    Short fun hair cut?

    Move to another country?

    Open an orphanage??

    I'll be wondering all all all night!

    <3

    ReplyDelete
  56. Start your own business of some sort??

    ReplyDelete
  57. Hmmm, you're going to start a YouTube channel to chronicle the daily life of a Mom of Many? :)

    Okay, okay, if it's not venturing into the world of reality TV, my guess would be organizing a women's retreat, writing a book or staring a home-based business or nonprofit organization.

    Whatever it is I hope it's fun and makes you happy! Can't wait to find out....

    ReplyDelete
  58. For the record: this is just killing me. Everything you do has such purpose in it. If it is a tatoo it has to be related to the orphan. I just can't even imagine what it is but I am just beside myself with curiosity.

    :)))))

    ReplyDelete
  59. Ok, as enticing as wildhair, cosmetic surgery and thrillseeking is, I think the guesses of start a business, start an organization for the orphan or go back to school are more on the right track. Best of Luck - can't wait to see how it all turns out.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Get ordained?

    (That's what came to me as an idea while I was falling asleep last night.)

    ReplyDelete
  61. As I was reading, my initial thought was something to do with your hair.

    But I like the tattoo idea that so many other people have mentioned. I LOVE all of my tattoos. =)

    The thing that's confusing me is where you said "Some of us will never have to consider it" Hmmm... You've got me super curious. =)

    ReplyDelete
  62. I'm thinking it's a Tattoo or a Nose Piercing! And, I'd go with you and have the same done!! =D

It's always good to hear from bloggy friends. Bless you.
