Your bucket list

Since most of us have spent a considerable amount of time on other's and not ourselves, I thought this would be kind of a fun thread to start in order to get you thinking about what it is you would really like to do before you kick the bucket. This may have been done on here before but what the heck, let's start a new bucket list.

It doesn't really matter what it is. Doesn't have to be anything profound. Quite frankly, I have some really silly ones.

For instance, I want to dye my hair bubble gum pink some day. Just for fun.

I would also like to go out to Dog Town in Utah for a couple of weeks and volunteer my time.

I spent two weeks in Italy several years back. It felt like I was in a painting. Everything was just so incredibly old and beautiful. It's on my bucket list to go back and spend much more time.

I really want to visit China too.

ride the Trans-Siberian Railroad from Vladivostok or Beijing to Moscow. Stop in Ulan Bataar, Mongolia for a side trip. Travel with nomads. Sleep in a Yert (ger). Go to the Nadaam festival.

  • Travel everywhere, esp. Europe and Australia... with my sister
  • Fly a Lear Jet as Pilot in Command
  • Find the love of my life and soul mate for the rest of my life - REALLY this time
  • Live in the mountains with a spectacular view, and no neighbors to be seen, and a clear, bubbly stream next to my house, and a season's skiing pass every winter
  • Water ski
  • Live on a houseboat (summer home at the foot of my mountain?)
  • Scuba dive
  • Spend a summer in a cottage on a tropical island, just my soul mate and me, where someone brings fresh food every day, but there's nobody else around so we can go skinny dipping in the ocean (no sharks or jelly fish, please)
  • Get a tattoo
  • Cut my hair super short, and wear really cool, crafty, dangly earrings

Have I been watching too many movies, or what?

Oh, that's what bucket list means! I had never understood the term! Doh!

I want to have a job that allows me to support myself and that I love doing. I'd like to adopt a child (not financially feasible at the moment). And I'd like to travel in Europe and South America. Do weightlifting again and feel great when I look at myself in the mirror.

Buffalo: I adopted a baby from Russia. That was something I did right! I also was a bodybuilder and did a show about (a-hem) 18 years ago.... that's one of my goals for myself....get back into that! I never felt so good about myself as when I was ripped!

I always wanted to have a custom aura painting done for me and I just ordered my first one! I'm so excited! It's going to be for my bedroom, which I am going to work to make into my safe, cozy little haven that is filled with love and belonging and me. I never tried too hard to make the bedroom nice, since the bed was pi$$ed in a few times per week and all that, and I ended up sleeping in the basement most of the time.

There are a lot of things I want to do before I die, most of them involving travel. Now that I don't have an extra mouth to feed, my debts are getting paid down, and it won't be long before I can take my first vacation.

I agree!

I'd also love to dye my hair pink - or maybe purple!

I'd like to lose enough weight so that I can do stuff comfortably - swimming, cycling etc. I'd love to climb rocks!

I'd love to learn silversmithing.

I want to learn how to paint - pictures not walls.

I want to find my passion...

I want to live long enough to meet and know my grandchildren. I hope that happens.

I'm not much of a traveler, but I would like to visit Egypt to see the pyramids.

Other than those, I'm pretty content with my bucket list... see the way I look at it, my biggest goal is now accomplished. I got myself out from under my AH!

LOL,
I've had bubblegum pink hair, and purple, and pillar-box red, but I'm in a very sensible job now so I'm saving going back to that when I'm retired.

I want to have a garden that is mine with all my different lavenders in it
I'd like to lose the weight from comfort eating,
I would like to learn how to fly a plane,
I want to go in a hot air balloon,
I'd like to visit the Ice hotel see the aurora borealis
I'd like to feel really comfortable in my own skin
I want to pay off my credit cards
and then I want to hire a cleaner.
I'd like to hire a (very, very small) castle for my 40th birthday and have a party with family and friends.
I'd like to find a job that pays as well as this one that I actively look forward to rather than just am grateful is there.
I want to learn to be more patient.
I want to keep ducks
I want to live in the countryside
I'd like to learn sign language, or if we stay here, welsh.
I want to laugh more.

and lots, lots more

There are so many things I want to do in life. I love to travel, so I would start there.

A 3 month stay in Israel and take the steps that Jesus took during the crucifixion and resurrection.

Visit every National Park in the USA

Learn to paint

Dance at a fancy ball (did that once, but I want a big one, like in Europe)

Own a small dog that fits in the palm of my hand, so I wouldn't have to leave it behind anywhere.

Finish my education

Change legislation regarding domestic violence *more laws/punishment against the abuser

Write a book

Live in Italy for a year

I have so many more..

I am working on preparing to run in a marathon, something I thought my body could never handle. (still debating that!! lol) Now I don't have anyone telling me what I CANT do, and my mind telling me I can do ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING.
