my bucket list

Wednesday, July 7, 2010

Yesterday I was on my way back to Auburn after a lovely 4th of July with my family, and for some reason I decided to make a bucket list. So here goes..
1. Live abroad for some period of time. Hopefully I'll be living in France for a few months next year, so this is no prob.
2. Legitimately learn to fluently speak French. Yes, I'm on my 5th year, but I still stink at speaking the language. I want to really be able to speak it and communicate, and then pass this on to my children.
3. Learn to effectively shoot a gun. For some reason, this has seemed important to me recently. I need to be able to defend myself, I'm an independent woman. This may also involve joining the NRA.
4. Open a successful restaurant.
5. Go to Europe and just go with no specific plans. Definitely not by myself.
6. Learn how to ballroom dance.
7. Be in the audience at Saturday Night Live.
8. Buy a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes. I know I'm trying to be less materialistic, but this is a long-time dream of mine. Totally worth it.
9. Plant a garden of fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
10. Fall in love with a God-fearing Southern gentleman who makes my knees weak.
11. See the Northern Lights.
12. Go to every Disney park in the world.
13. Have kids and be a great mother.
14. Name at least one of the above children after a Harry Potter character. Currently, it would be Lily.
15. Attend culinary school.
16. Learn to be more spontaneous.
17. Snorkel the Great Barrier Reef. Not dive, because I'm not that intense.
18. Learn to see the good in people and appreciate the small things in life.
19. Be in Ireland on St. Patrick's Day.
20. Finally have my own horse.
21. Have a restaurant review published.
22. Sleep under the stars at least once.
23. Kiss Taylor Lautner.
24. Learn how to make coffee finally. It's the one thing I can never get right, ironically.
25. Eat at a restaurant with multiple Michelin stars.
26. Go on a blind date. Just once.
27. See either Britney Spears or Lady Gaga in concert.
28. Be able to be that person that tips outrageously well.
29. Drive across America with friends.
30. Win some kind of contest.
31. Stop worrying about unimportant things, such as what other people think.
32. Watch the sun rise on a beach.
33. Live in a way that other people know what I believe.
34. Go on a Mediterranean cruise.
35. Attend some Olympic event.
36. Attend Fashion Week in New York.
37. Go back to Egypt.
38. Learn how to sail.
39. Actually finish some sort of workout plan.
40. Learn to be happy whatever the circumstances.

That's all I got for right now, but I'm sure there are a bunch more that I just haven't thought of yet!

PLEASE join the NRA. I would love it. Also, for numbers 6, 12, 29, & 36 I will be your travel companion. :)

Yes! We've got plenty of time to knock all of these out!
