Your own "Bucket List"

[moosmom]

I went to see the movie Bucket List and was moved beyond belief. I encourage everyone to see it and bring a box of Kleenex.

Since seeing the movie, it got me to thinking of the things I wish to do before I leave this earth. That's why I started this thread.

MY BUCKET LIST:

Go kayaking
Go Ziplining
See my daughter married and happy- CHECK!!!!!
Visit New Zealand and Australia
Learn to play the bagpipes
Meet someone that I really "click" with
Learn to play the piano
Take a relaxing, warm vacation ALONE
Visit Albuquerque and meet a wonderful friend, Tony
Make amends to certain people
Meet Paul Newman (again)
Be Happy-CHECK!!!!!

Great idea for a thread!

Here's mine:
*Take a trip to Alaska
*Rent an RV and drive out west.
*Go to Las Vegas with my girlfriends
*Find the happy, carefree, outgoing person that I once was.

Sounds like a great movie Donna. I love Jack Nicholson.

Here is my list

Go back to the land of my birth Scotland (not likely though)
Become successful in at least one thing..love to run my own accommodation business.,or run a cattery.
Travel to australia,Tasmania,Norfolk Island and New Calendonia(again prob never happen).
Get a bigger new house.
Learn to drive.
do some volunteer work at the hospital.
Some of these things i can make happen, but lack the confidence and know how,some i know are not possible, but one can only but hope eh?
Donna NZ is a lovely little country to visit, i hope you make it down here oneday.

Boy, if I'm not careful I'm going to have a really long list!

Places I hope to travel to:
Alaska
Australia, New Zealand (I had an opportunity last year and I let it get away)
The Grand Canyon
The hot-air balloon festival in New Mexico
Northern California

To take a class about different foods and wines, just for the experience.

To marry.

To start playing the piano again. I quit in a huff in junior high school, which was extremely dumb.

This is a long, long shot but I would love to be on Wheel of Fortune. I doubt that will ever happen, but more likely I hope to attend a taping.

To get my nurse practitioner's certificate. SHould have done it when I was doing my MSN - another opportunity that got away from me.

To do meaningful work with the remainder of my career. Go on a medical service / mission trip, somewhere, somehow.

To see the various factions of my family reconcile before they get even farther apart. I don't want the next generation divided.

Let's see, I have a lot:
-Travel to France, Spain, Italy(again), and Greece.
-Find my heart and soul doggy.
-Go on another cruise and travel to Hawaii.
-More travel, if you haven't realized I enjoy traveling and would enjoy going basically anywhere.
-Move out and own a house
-Get my driver's license.
-Have a job INVOLVING animals
-Get out of school.
-Possibly get married with many limits
-Win a photography contest. (I just entered one. we'll see how that goes)

and that's about it. I am sure there is much more though that I just can't think of.

-go on a Peace Corps aid mission in Africa
-be HAPPY
-Visit and hike or ride on horseback through the following:

Really, my only goal is to find happiness. These are just things that I know would make me very happy.

Brody's Mum,

It was back in the 80's and I was on duty as an Auxiliary State Trooper. I was covering I-95 South. We got a call there was a "suspicious" black stretch limo parked behind the McDonalds on I-95 near West Haven.

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 driver 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.
