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
