OT - What's on YOUR "Bucket List"?

My number one item would be to swim in an ocean - or at least SEE an ocean up close and personal.  Number two is to go to a different country.  Heck - I'd be happy to just go to Canada!!! lol  I'd also like to go on a cruise in Alaska.

1.  To meet Chef Gordon Ramsay and have him spend time teaching me how to cook.   2.  To have this past year's American Idol winner, David Cook, sing to me all night long. 3.  To find one of those huge innertubes that you can set up in the water and jump on. Sounds lame, but I have such a crush on those guys that it would be wrong for me to leave them off my list.    But the most fun something that I want to repeat is to go on a cruise.

Go to England Go to Ireland and Scottland Get the nerve to become a EMT Go to Italy Bring my DH to Hawaii To live past my anxiety and not let it dictate my bucket list.   :)

1. White water rafting .... definately! 2. Make it out to Finland to meet relatives.

3. Meet the man of my dreams and start my own family.  4. Sell my house and make it out to Tennessee. 5. Travel all of Europe. 6. Go on a Carribean cruise. 7. Excell in my career. 8. Open and inpatient hospice out in Clarksville, TN. Hmmm.... I may have to come back and edit too. And I want to go on the hot air balloon too!!! Hugs, Lori

Okay... my bucket list... Guess I have to break this down to both short term... and long term....

1. Finally meet Gorden.... It's time, trust me... it is VERY much time.

2. Make a trip to California, to walk on the beach, see the ocean.... and hold hands... and guess who with...


3. Be confidant enough in myself to believe I am keepable.


4. GO TO ITALY!!!!!! and this one has a good chance of happening in December.... wonder If I can take my computer to Italy so I can keep up with my OH friends?!?!?! Something I will have to check into.

5. get to a size 10... or smaller.

6. Have a tummy tuck.....and look FABULOUS!!!!

7. HIke... anywhere interesting

8. Go on the rides at valley fair I couldn't before...

9. Someday have a healthy, happy relationship... and be married.


Thats enough for now... and I to, may need to edit from time to time.

I'm so fortunate to say that whatever I've really desired, I've been able to do.  Weight loss surgery has enabled me to be much more comfortable in accomplishing this.  Of course, as time goes on you want to do more.  My desire is to spend the rest of my life healthy and happy and to be able to give back all of the blessings that I have in my life.  Thank you Darla for asking this important question!! 

Wow - you are SO WELCOME, Julie!  I think this is a really healthy thing for us all to ponder!

My next question will be - what would you do if... (I will fill in this blank when I post it!)

1. Go to Sydney, Australia (although you'd probably have to put me in deep sedation since I don't do well with airplanes--certainly not 14 hours or so in one!)

2. Be front-row at a concert. Any concert, although I'd really enjoy seeing my favorite group, the Backstreet Boys, from the front row! But I guess the 25th will have to do come August

3. Write a book. Not a self-help book(HA! I could use one of those myself these days), more like the snarky women's literature about being single in the city type books!

That's all I can think of right now. It just turned 3am and I'm plum tuckered out.  

Number one thing would be to go on a family trip with hubby, both daughters and SO's, and Koleby somewhere where we could all just spend a few days together doing stuff and bonding.  I think I'm gonna look into a few cabins next summer on the north shore for us all to do that.  Fishing, hiking, bon fires.....

Second would be a relaxing vacation on an exotic beach with the hubby for a week somewhere!!!

Thanks for making me think about it.
