Bucket List

One of my favorite bloggers is Maggie from www.mightygirl.com. She wrote a list of everything she wanted to do before she dies, and a company decided to sponsor it. Ah, man! Lucky!

It made me think about my own life list. I've written hundreds of drafts over the years, misplaced them, threw them away, crossed them out and written new updated versions. I get less strict about it as I get older--so what if I don't ever get to see Australia, skinny dip, meet Ellen DeGeneres? All I can do is make sure every day is fantastic. And that means that if it's midnight and it's been a crappy day, then I go get a cookie.

But for the sake of chronicling, which is the whole reason why I made this blog, here's a few things from my latest list.

There's things I can hopefully do this year, like:

Burn all the candles I have stockpiled for "special occasions"

Lose the baby weight and then take a sexy pinup girl picture of myself in a swimsuit

Take a pottery class

Open an Etsy shop

Write another album

There's things I can do in the next few years, like:

Get laser eye surgery

Go on a road trip with Reilly, Crystal, Hannah, and my mom, and get a tattoo

Graduate from college

Write a memoir

Make Wonderful Blunderful Me a dot com

Make it to Hollywood on American Idol

Become a lactation consultant (so I can help other lost, angry breastfeeding souls like I was once)

And then there's the things I want to do SOMEDAY, like:

Ride in a hot air balloon

Spend the day in a submarine

See the sunset in Greece

Be part of a Muppets movie

Play Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors

Own every Dr. Seuss book

Send my parents on a dream cruise in Alaska

Cap everyone's teeth in my family

Sigh... someday.
