Musing on a 10 Count Bucket List.
Once again I surfed over to Stasha’s blog The Good Life to link up with Monday Listicles.
Because I am FABULOUS at making lists. They are on 3 x 5 cards littered all over my house — ask Diana Blanton, she will nod affirmative.
Implementing them is the problem.
That’s why this Monday’s list is perfect for me.
“10 things you’d like to see happen before you die”
Like any of these things are EVER going to happen, but I shall list away. Because I got an A+ in IB List Making at Winter Park High.
1. Me wearing bonnet, holding mint julep (holding onto the handrail for they are dreadfully strong drinks) standing in the grandstands at Churchill Downs cheering my thoroughbred (bought with earnings won buy me at a poker game) win the Kentucky Derby by 10 lengths. Okay, I’d just settle for making Churchhill Downs the first Saturday in May before I die.
2. Me learn to play poker. (See Number 1.)
3. The Eiffel Tower. Or be able to spell the word Eiffel without having to open another tab to look it up.
4. Run the marathon at Big Sur.
5. A brand spankin’ new right knee. (See Number 4.)
6. Me performing a stand-up routine in front of an live audience. Because I am getting tired trying out jokes in front of my daughter’s stuffed animals. They are cute, but just politely stare. (Except the Angry Birds. They give me attitude.)
The thought terrifies me but I think my list should include something scary and parachuting is so out of the question even for a pipe dream list like this.
7. The United States of America debt free.
8. Still laughing at Number 7. How about me debt free?
9. All my children finding their passion in life and being able to support themselves and life with someone they are wildly in love with. (And still remember to throw a couple bones my way when I need a knee replacement.)
10. The bottom of my laundry basket.
What about you? What would be on your list?
Love this, Jamie!
{And that first one ids my fave!}
I love no. 6 – go for it.
Scratch no. 10 off your list – no. 6 = way more important that laundry.
Ahh…the sign of a good mom…wanting a good life for her children. That is something I pray that they have everyday…just a good peaceful life and someone to love and no big issues or health problems. Just want them safe, healthy and happy!
You’re right, those angry birds are full of attitude! This is a great list! I especially love #1 and #6. And that you really reach for the impossible with #10. 🙂
Angry birds have wicket attitude.. Thanks for a great laugh. Also? I never see the bottom of my laundry basket either 🙁
Love you’re list 🙂
Love your list 🙂
Ha! If you see #10, tell me what it’s like. Even just so I can daydream about it, cause Lord knows I’ll never see it.
Love it! That dinosaur looks like he could be a heckler too, if you ask me. 😉 Also, is the Winter Park High you refer to the one in FL?! If so, small world… I went to Lake Mary. 🙂
Yes Cheryl, I remember when Lake Mary was considered way out. I am an old Winter Park Wildcat. Take care.
i want to go with you to do #4. for real. (let me clarify, not “do it” with you, but go with you and cheer you through!)
and we can totally make #6 happen. you can start with our running group. oh what fun! i’ll bring the microphone. 🙂
Jill — that’s just our Valley Farm loop 5 times…20 weeks. We both could do it.
Love #10, haven’t seen mine in years 😉
