So recently I was searching around my computer and my old blog/notebooks and I discovered my Bucket list. WHICH IS EXTENSIVE. I made this bucket list on December 9th, 2007. That's just about 3 years ago. I'm going to post the list here, and of course pepper it with comments.
- Travel to all 7 continents - Okay so I've been to two out of seven, and I really doubt a trip to Antarctica is in my future….so I'm going to personally add in that I'd be fine with six!
- Complete my book list. – I really need to look into the booklist to see if I have made any progress…
- White Water Raft in Argentina, The Grand Canyon or Switzerland – still working on this!
- Learn to Sail – Damnit, why didn't I take advantage of CofC's sailing courses?
- Cruise the World- Hmm maybe I can knock of number 1 & 5 in one swoop?
- Take a cooking/baking class. – Haven't done this…unless you count a lesson from my brother…but I am dying too!
- Write a novel – hmm…I've started one?
- Write a poem – CHECK!
- White a song – Does this mean I need to learn how to write music? Or are just lyrics okay?
- Blog/Keep a diary for one whole year. Well, I'm currently working on this one!
- Watch all the movies on my list – once again have to find that list…but Netflix has surely helped me do this!
- Visit the 7 wonders of the ancient & modern world (haven't visited the ancient wonders…I need to get to Greece, Egypt, Turkey, etc., if you count the Grand Canyon as one of the wonders I've seen one….).
- Live in Colorado – Give me two years!
- Attend a concert at Red Rock – still haven't L
- See Jimmy Buffett (Hmm maybe at Red Rock!)
- Live in the UK- My friends claim that maybe my study abroad experience should count…but I was there for 5 weeks…IDK if that counts…
- Join a Big Sister Program – I feel like being a teacher is a giant Big Sister Program. (Editor's note: I was not a teacher when I wrote this list).
- Learn sign language – I know the alphabet…
- Earn my PhD (which implies that I must first get my masters).
- Float/Tube down a river in a foreign country.
- Attend the Super Bowl, World Series, March Maddness, MCAA Football, NBA Finals, Winter & Summer Olympics (I attended the only finals game the Orlando Magic won!)
- Discover my favorite things in life – I've got this…..good friends, my family, red wine, ice cream, books and travelling.
- Write a passionate letter to the editor. – Hmm I need to get on this…
- Drink around the world at Epcot – CHECK!!!!!
- Participate in a peaceful demonstration/protest.
- Teach/Take an HP Class – uggh CofC way to offer the class now!
- No Soda for 1 month.
- No TV for 1 month (I really don't want to do this).
- Have two dogs!
- Plant a flower or vegetable garden.
- Ring in New Year's Eve in a mega city either NyC,, Boston, London or Paris. (I'm GOING TO BE IN PARIS FOR NEW YEARS…so CHECK!)
- Learn a musical instrument.
- Join a master's swim team. …well I'm swimming 4 days a week…maybe a master's team is next!
- Dress up for Halloween every year (okay this is ridiculous…but I do dress up for Halloween, and it does not belong on a bucket list).
- Go to a vineyard in Italy, France or Napa Valley.
- Inspire Someone.
- Work on a political campaign.
- Join a Book Club.
- Learn to Wind Surf.
- Get Married.
- Live somewhere where I can walk everywhere.
- Recycle – consistently.
- Stay in the NYC Library Hotel.

- Coach a Swim Team (CHECK…and even won a Conference Title!).
So that's my ridiculous list…I have a few other things I'd like to add….but that's for another day.
