    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.
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    -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.

    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.

    Wow, alot has changed in 3 years. 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.

    Find heart and soul doggy, check. Go on another cruise, this will be happening in January. More travel, check. Get my driver's license, check. Get out of school, I'm graduating high school next month

    I guess I'll add some more:
    -Go parasailing.
    -Learn how to fix cars.
    -Enjoy the rest of senior year.
    -Do well in College.

    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.
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    You'd better let me know when you get here...... Merlin and I will be waiting.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    To drive a convertible again, just for one day. I have friends who had one. We went to a festival together when they lived in Milwaukee and I was the designated driver, so I got to drive us from downtown Milwaukee back to their apartment in Waukesha after the concert. Come to think of it, that was also the last time I drove a car with a manual transmission. I'd never driven a convertible before-- it was a beautiful night and everyone except me was happily drunk, so I "missed" the exit off of 94 and just kept going toward Madison! Whoops, sorry
