I have always enjoyed writing, and I used to keep a journal, but now that I have been married for 10 years, and have two kids, I don't have the time to sit down and write. I have come to realize, I have not been getting the outlet I need, so I began sending a random thought to my friends and family each morning. I have discovered new things about myself, my friends, my family, and about life!

Bucket List

Every time I am on Facebook, I keep seeing this ad for Denver's Bucket List, ya know, things to do in Denver before you die, and that got me to thinking about things I want to do.

This could be fun.  Think about it, what would you do if you could?  Let's say money, job, lack of time, none of it matters.  What is on your bucket list?

 I totally want to swim in warm melted chocolate.  I mean really, could there be anything better?  Take the best candy, melt it down, and just back float in it!  Granted, I'd gain a good amount of weight, but it would be worth it!

I've always wanted to box.  Put me in the ring coach!  I'm ready for the action, let me knock a sucker out!  Well, maybe I should just stick to being the girl who holds the round cards.  Do you have to fit into a bikini for that?

May sound crazy, but every time I watch that show on Discovery about Everest, holy cow, I can almost feel the wind wiping around my face, and I keep thinking I would love to just see Mt. Everest.  To feel the mountain beneath my feet!  If I was nutty, I'd totally climb it, but I would settle for being at the base of the mountain, big parka on, escorted by one of those little Tibetan boys and a pack mule.  Ahh...how lovely.

Hot air balloon ride
Stay a month on a private island
Swim with dolphins
Scuba dive
Move my kids into their first apartment
Have coffee in Italy
Hike at Yosemite National Park
Build my own home
Run a half marathon
See the sunset and sunrise in Hawaii
Visit an ashram in India

The list could keep going and going.  I keep thinking of silly things too, like being married long enough to have a 50th Wedding Anniversary, and holding a half dozen puppies at one time.  Learning to make sushi and go on a yoga retreat.  I think I want to wear a mini-skirt and actually look good in it!  Stay in a smoking awesome suite in Las Vegas and live like a high roller!  I think I want to go on tour with that host, Guy Fiere, and hit all the Diners, Drive-In's, and Dives, or whatever it's called, and eat the countries most mouth watering comfort foods out there!

But for now, my list is just a list, and maybe I'll put going to Costco on my Bucket List, and when I go there today and buy dog food, I'll be able to say I crossed something off the list!
