I still refuse to make my own bucket list.
I have a little under 80 days for my 26 Before 27. 79 to be exact. I think this is the jolt my life battery needed. I may have overshot here a bit. But failures are fun to post about too. So, please bring the envelope....
Thank you.
And the list is:
Dye my own hair- Knit a scarf
- Decorate a cake
- Go swing dancing with Ken
- Golf 18 holes
- Retry the foods I don’t like (tomatoes are done...yuck. Mushrooms are done..pretty good!)
- Hike the Menan Butte
- Introduce myself to one new person a week
- Watch “Casablanca," “Citizen Kane,” and
"An Affair to Remember" - Get 27 blog followers
- Start a Gratitude Journal
Complete a DIY project- Go to the Hogle Zoo
- Do one act of service per week
- Cook all weekend meals for Ken (this oughtta be funny)
- Finish “Gone Away Lake” (This is the only book I have started and not finished. I started it in 3rd grade. It's still haunting me! Gotta track it down)
- Plant a tree
- Write a letter to the president (heck. I'll even mail it.)
Play piano solo- Read 5 (more) books
- Begin aggressive treatment for the Graves and The Tumor
- Run the Firecracker 5k (...eeeks. I already wish I didn't put this one down.)
- Switch to homemade bread
- Start my own savings account
- Gift a magazine subscription (I love getting a magazine every month. I want someone else to feel that happy..... but whom?)
- Get my idea patented (And no I am not telling you what my great idea is. You'll just steal it.)

Hey! I am thrilled that you liked my bucket list. I should rename it. I know how cliche it is. But I wanted to dream big. If I get to half of them, I'll be a happy Thumber! xo
Thumber, I loved your disclaimer : )
Patty, I have written the president and Oprah! Give it a try! If anything, it's fun to write 1600 Pennsylvania Ave on an envelope...hmmm....maybe thats why I didn't get a response.
#10 is accomplished. I looked up your stats on Google Reader- 28 subscribers! Plus I'm sure you have other anonymous followers.
#26 I am really looking forward to seeing what this is.
So dude. I'm especially excited about #21 - graves and tumor. I think I worry about those more than you do. I wish I could be the person you were gifting a magazine subscription to, dang it. You can gift me one when I get home. If you want. :)
Golf 18 holes? Patty! I didn't know you golfed!? Or is that part of the goal too: Learn how to golf and golf 18 holes. I have driven the cart 18 holes and that was a blast!!!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and deciding to stay for a while! I love your list. I'd like to do some of those things too. Maybe we'll meet up at the zoo!

I don't know what "@" this means but I know I am supposed to put it at the beginning.
@The Thumber- Knock 'em dead.
@DoublClik- You wrote Oprah?! What's her addy? "Next door to the whitehouse?"
@Poulsen Family- What is this Google Reader you speak of? I have NEVER heard of that. And for #26 - you will my sweet. And you will want one.
@Kar- You were totally going to be my giftee... thanks for moving to China on me.
@Julia- Of course I golf. I am really bad at it. And have only played a Par 3. But I can swing a racquet or a club or ...
@Mom of 12- Thank you one hundred times over.
That was fun!
YES!! Move forward with your idea! My hubby and I tried at being inventors and we had some great ideas! We let ourselves get bogged down in the details and ta da! Someone else did the thing. :)
So this is me routing for you to go out there and make your THING happen!
Great list, too! :)
I want to do the firecracker as well!!
Sooooo, I went straight to amazon.com....They have Gone-Away Lake starting at 1 penny! So you could get the book and ship it for four bucks total!!! I think after all thses years, this may be one you want to keep! :) And you could always toss a magazine subscrition my way...ha! I used to subscribe to junk mail when I was little because I just wanted mail! Now all the mail I get is bills......ugh! HA!
I like your bucket list. Pretty cool and the time line is perfect.
Good luck with them all.
