I don’t blog much anymore, but every now and then I get the
urge to update something. And today I am experiencing that urge.
About a year and a half ago, I wrote a Bucket List. And it's changed since
then…
These are the things
I've accomplished:
#80: Play on another water polo team.
#104. Have a fire pit in my backyard
#50: Get fortune told to me by a fortune teller/psychic.
#79: Shoot at and hit a clay pigeon.
#37: Ride a bike across the Golden Gate Bridge
#85: Own a pair of legit cowboy boots.
#40. Grow an herb garden.
#68. Grow a vegetable garden.
#40. Grow an herb garden.
#68. Grow a vegetable garden.
#28: Ride my bike around Central Park.
#88: Ride a mechanical bull for 7 seconds.
#73: Have a concealed weapons permit. (I'm packing now. Don’t mess with me.)
#9. See Les Misérables on stage.
#9. See Les Misérables on stage.
#94: Re-Read the entire The Work and the
Glory series.
#44: Ride a street car in San Francisco.
#55: Learn to sew on a sewing machine.
#24: See Wicked on
Broadway {Again}.
#16: Tell Walter Fife “thank you” in person.
#38. Spend a week in Belize and go cave tubing again. (Okay, So technically I didn't spend a week there, but I did go cave tubing there again. And thats good enough for me to consider this one checked off.)
#19: Swim with dolphins.
#4. Marry my soul mate.

#6. Start a book club. I LOVE THIS BOOK CLUB. Started when Oakcrest Elites were flaky.
#57. Teach a Russian class. Thanks Winterim.
Look at me go.
I must say I am quite pleased with my
progress
These are the things
I changed my mind on, and don't care about accomplishing:
#10: Live in San Francisco for a year. (I wrote this before
I’d ever been to San Fran. I thought it would be an enchanting city to live in…
Now that I've been there… Not so much.)
#34: Live in San Diego for a year. (Same reason as above.)
#41: Go to culinary arts school. (I pretty much taught
myself how to cook already. And I rock at it. So I don’t need some culinary
certificate to prove that. Just come over and let me make you dinner.)
#48: Have lunch with Ashley. (While I still love her and her blog, she is
not my favorite blogger anymore nor is she someone I admire so much that I’d
like to meet her. She has disappointed me from time to time. Now I’d say the
blogger I admire most and would like to have lunch with is La Vie Petite)
#70: Get my house decorated by a professional. (I’ve since
discovered Pinterest. With all the DIY stuff online, who needs to pay anyone to
decorate anymore?)
#72: Read the original Les Miserables book by Victor Hugo. (For
some reason this 1000 page book doesn’t appeal to me anymore. I get the story
enough from all the video’s I've seen depicting it.)
#75: Have my very own crafting room. (I'd love a room of the
house to myself still I guess, but I don’t craft really much anymore so that
would not be its purpose…)
#21. Own a real expensive camera. Like the ones photographers use. (I just don't care. Technology these days gives me more than adequate photos.)
#71. Take a photography class. (I'm just not that into photography anymore.)

by myself.
