Bucket List

[justabeachbrat]

1. go to Maui, see humpback whales from inflatable small boats. Been whale watching numerous times, but on big boats, they got scared, or just flipped their tales. On 1 whale watching trip, I saw no whales, but did see a small plane crash into ocean, called my news desk. Maui, probably in March.
2. Achieve goal of not being a terrible surfer.
3. Find my dad's side of the family, I have 7 aunts/uncles, most I've never met.
4. Meet a guy who makes me smile, get married, possibly adopt an older child.
5. Stop when I am ahead while playing slots in Vegas.
6. Laugh More.
7. Finish post graduate classes I start next month, possibly go for a master's, and work in student affairs. School plans have been derailed twice, finally, things are shaping up. No more silliness by schools.
8. Get my cat to stop attacking the sofa.
9. Get to NY, NY and see a Broadway play.
10. Learn how to walk in high heels without tumbling.
11. Return to New Orleans, was there pre-Katrina.
12. Enjoy not calling a news desk.

Congrats! One of my sisters told me tonight that her boyfriend just became an Eagle Scout. I think that's a really valuable thing. My dad never made it that high. He was a life scout.

I was going to get into SCCA, but unless you have a lot of sponsors and loads of vacation time at work, it can be very expensive. I had a blast doing it and met some great people.

That's too cool! My dad and brother both raced cars so I grew up around it. I blame my need for speed on the fact that my brother taught me how to drive. I wish I had paid closer attention to what was going on because I don't even know what kind of cars they raced or anything.

What kind of car did you have? I'm totally fascinated!

Reading all of these posts makes me realize what a fabulously rich life I already have! I've done a lot of things already mentioned on the Bucket Lists of some of y'all. Of course, I have dreams that haven't been realized yet...those would be:

1) To act (in tv, theater, movies... whatever paid the bills). I'm most happy when I'm on stage.

2) To go on an archaeological dig. I love history, and searching for ancient items of the past would be awesome, IMO.

3) To live in London. I love, love, love London.

4) To maybe run for a political office. Politics is the second secular love of my life.

5) To ride in a hot-air balloon.

Old thread I thought worthy of bringing back up.

I have a list but I'm compiling it. Like a bad Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, I'll be back.

I had posted on Facebook once that "it was time to make a bucket list." I didn't realize that given my unpredictable health, people might think the worst. So I had to post another message telling everyone I was okay. I guess I need to call it something else. Perhaps my "Things I wanna do" list?

Over the last 2 years, I've clicked several things off my bucket list:
See the pyramids
See Ephesus
See Pompeii
Live in a foreign country
Go on a Mediterranean cruise
Have friends from every continent on the globe

so I've had to re-work my list. Here goes (as I'm thinking of them so no particular order)
Tour India on the Palace on Wheels
Live in the tropics
Live in Europe
Sell super luxury travel (I'm up to near-luxury clients now)
Speak another language fluently (I used to speak French and I can do reasonably well with Spanish. I have maybe 10 words in Arabic)
Take a world cruise
Be a House Mom
learn how to bake bread (it's the tragedy of my life - I'm a great cook but the only kind of bread I can make is brioche)
