Your own "Bucket List"

My husband downloaded the movie,He was even in tears,I have been meaning to watch it,but have had no time.

Lori,

BELIEVE me you will be in tears. Both Nicholson and Freeman deserve an award for their performances. Let me know what you think when you see it.

I am not a big "movie person", but I have wanted to see The Bucket List ever since the first preview I watched. I'll probably wait until it comes out on dvd, though. :]

My "Bucket list":
-Move somewhere with real snow.
-Build my own house. I have already got the blueprints all made out. :]
-See Lynyrd Skynyrd in concert.
-Open up a small rescue, specializing in senior dogs.
-Learn how to play the accordion.
-Go bungee jumping.
-Visit Italy & Germany.
-Keep my 1996 Jeep up and running.
-Find a career that I would actually love to wake up to each morning.
-Be able to live life out the rest of my life without drinking alcohol, doing drugs, nor smoking in any way.

Visit every NASCAR track!
Ride in a NASCAR car
(which will be a reality soon thanks to Amy H (cincy's mom)
Skydive
Fly in a Thunderbird Jet
Go to Australia
Live a long happy, healthy life!

Things I'd like to do are,

Parachute from a plane
Learn to play guitar
Visit Egypt
Live for awhile in the desert southwest

Here's my "bucket List" (1) Make another trip to visit Moosmom. (2) Take a hot air balloon ride (I'm not afraid of heights). (3) Visit New Zealand and meet Carole. (4) Visit Alaska. (5) make another trip to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls (this time to stay longer and go on the Maid of the Mist) and see the rest of the attractions. I'll have to think of some more!

God works in mysterious ways! I wrote this so long ago and finally it's starting to happen. I hope it continues on the same path.

I'm adding British Columbia to my list of dream travel destinations. I agree with Maya and Inka's Mommy about the cruise of northern Europe, too.

I pulled up and didn't see a driver. I knocked on the back window (pitch black windows I might add). When it rolled down, my jaw dropped. There were those gorgeous blue eyes looking at me. He said that his drive had to make a pit stop (to tinkle) and he was waiting for him. I will never forget it!!!! My best friend said, "Why the HECK didn't you ask for his autograph???" I told her it wouldn't look very professional. But, those eyes!!! *sigh*

That's the scroop. I hope I age as well as he is. Joanne Woodward is one very lucky woman. Imagine waking up to him every morning.

WOW!!!!!!!!! I would also be nailed to the ground.............:eek:

I bought a book last Fall, titled 500 Things To Do BEFORE You Kick the Bucket!

Some of them are out of my reach, like climbing Mt. Everest. :rolleyes:

Some are quite easy to do.

I was thrilled to discover I'd already done 157 of them! :cool:

The travel stuff is all on hold, what with my Dad and 15 pets, just not possible for now.

I haven't done this thread yet, so :p.

- Visit France and see the Eiffel Tower.
- Go to Disney World
- Rescue a Pit Bull
- Have my own vet clinic and help those who cannot afford vet care.
- Fall in love, hopelessly and unconditionally.
- Meet Johnny Depp.
- Live well, laugh often, and love much :)

I was looking through some pictures I had taken during my years in Europe and longed for a return to places that I had already been. I would love to return to the Interlaken & Grindelwald region of Switzerland and ride every railroad connecting that part of the world. It has got to be the most beautiful area I have ever been. I would like to go downunder and see a part of the world that I haven't seen. There is just so much that I will never have time or resources to see. George Bernard Shaw had it right when he said , "youth to wasted on the young".

Wow, alot has changed in 3 years. :p I can cross off "Find my heart and soul doggy" and "get my license". I can't believe some of the stupid things I wanted. Well...things sure do change.

I don't have a list. What is up with that? I have always been the type of person to be content with what I have.

I have always wanted to go to Hawaii though.

Hmmm... I don't have much of a list either? I guess if I think about it they are more goals than anything.

I would love to:
-Raise a family with a great guy by my side :)
-Become a nurse working with children (currently in the process!)
-Go scuba diving in Australia
-Go to Ireland
-Do photography professionally, have my own studio

AAaaaaand I can't think of anything else specifically. lol
