Since this is my birthday month, I decided to pick a fun challenge: do something new every day for 30 days. Turns out it’s actually harder than you might think to come up with something new every day. I’m only two days in and coming up dry for ideas.

On Friday, I baked some amazing eclairs, which turned out pretty tasty for my first time. On Saturday, I got a loop box for my birthday and learned how to use it.

Here’s a rough list of ideas I’ve got for this month:

• Watch a new movie
• Wear a new outfit
• Cook something new
• Try a new food
• Eat at a new restaurant
• Study a topic I know nothing about
• Try a new board game
• Figure out how to do something you don’t know how to do
• Read a new book
• Learn a magic trick
• Learn a new song on the piano/guitar
• Play a prank on someone
• Watch a new television show
• Find a new poem
• Teach something new to my son

I need your help, though! As you can tell, this list, while good, could use some—inspiration. I’m looking to try new things and I need some interesting, thought-provoking and just plain outlandish ideas. Got any?
