My Bucket List for May.
I’m a big one for setting goals.
But I’ve never had a true bucket list.
There have moments — epiphanies — when I think “a ha” I need to do that this lifetime.
* Our family hiking the Grand Canyon together.
* Whale watching in Hawaii.
* The fam riding bikes in the Tuscan hills.
But those goals usually stay up in the heavens and never happen. Ever.
Linking up this week with Mama Kat’s Writing Workshop and the prompt 4.) Create a “May Bucket List”…what will you accomplish this month?
This May I hope to . . .
* Get my creaky triathlon butt moving again after a four year hiatus. Signed up for IronMay and will complete the 140 miles by May 31. Also will find money to sign up for the Tri to beat Cancer in August. That way there will be no turning back.
How I feel setting out on the bike.
* Go to my first blog conference. Bloggy Boot Camp in Charlotte this weekend. I’m looking forward to learning lots, meeting great folks and having a little time away from my dear ones. (There better not be any WSJ reporters lurking….)
* Write every day on my book. I already missed a day but have written 14 days. Let’s see if we can make it 30 days.
* Get some sun on my legs. PLEASE.
* Finish planting my garden. It’s pretty much done but I’m expecting some eggplant transplants I’ve ordered and going to replace some okra that looks pretty puny after this crazy heat we’ve had all of a sudden.
* Contact regional publications. I need to make the leap and have an article in a regional pub even if it means driving and knocking on some doors.
* Sleep.
I’ll stop there.
Need to save some time to keep the kids alive and the husband happy. If you know what I mean.
What is on your list for May?
I know what you mean and I’m grateful!
At least someone is grateful for something I do around here.
My summer bucket list is to survive moving and the five weddings and wedding related activities I have. I think that’s more than enough!!!
Five weddings? That is a lot, Marta — but I love weddings so it sounds like fun.
I have four weddings this summer! Starting off with my very best friend getting married next week. It’s the first wedding that I am a part of too. So, my May has pretty much consisted of helping her get through the prep for that as well as moving! Looks like Marta and I have a lot in common haha. And, I LOVED the addition of “if you know what I mean”. Made me chuckle in my cubicle at work 🙂
Don’t know what impresses me more, the triathlon or getting something published. All the best in both endeavors!
Sun on my legs — YES!! Good luck with your list.
Oh yes the slashed off sleep on the list is on my bucket list for every month! I hope you make it through as most of these items!
