my murtaugh list

I'm turning 30 soon. I'm so excited!  I've been looking forward to my thirties since my mid-twenties.  I can't believe it's finally here! I'm headed to Ireland and England to celebrate, and I'm amped!!! But before I leave on my (epic) adventure, I wanted to share my Murtaugh List. If you watch How I Met Your Mother, Ted references this list as basically all the things we're too old to do, Murtaugh being a reference to Lieutenant Murtaugh from Lethal Weapon.

So here it is… a list of 30 things I'm too old to do.

My Murtaugh List

  1. Sleeping on anything that's not a bed (with maybe the exception of certain futons).
  2. All-nighters.
