My Bucket List

Everyone needs a bucket list. A to-do list to be completed before your dying day. I have a lot of hopes and dreams. Most of them are extravagant things....things I will most likely never do. But I figured now is as good a time as any to start making my bucket list.



#1) BUY THESE SHOES!!!!!!!!
If you have read my previous blog about my best friend, you know that we are HUGE Freddy Kruger fans! These shoes are custom made. They come in a cool custom "Nightmare box" and a "Dressed to Kill" T-shirt. It's $550.00 for the entire package. I AM GOING TO BUY US THESE SHOES!!! I may have to save up money until I'm 80 years old, but at least we will have the coolest shoes at the retirement home!




































#2) SEE SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE IN NEW YORK
I have seen every episode of SNL. I have Netflix on my Xbox 360....and a LOT of spare time. I want to go to New York and see it performed live. I would honestly rather be IN the show but I would have to be famous. So I'll just stick with watching in the studio.


#3) GO TO IRELAND
I am Irish...or at least that's what I've been told. I would like to go to Ireland and learn more about my heritage. I've never been out of the country. I'm afraid of going to a foreign country and getting lost. I wouldn't be able to ask for directions because no one would speak English. Then I would get mugged and be BROKE in a foreign country. So before I die, I am going to get over this fear by visiting another country.

#4) GO TO AUSTRALIA
When I was younger, I watched the Olsen twin movie about living in Australia. After that, I have always wanted to visit Australia, but my fears (listed above) have always stopped me. It would make a great family vacation. My husband could go surfing, my children and I could go exploring, it would be fun for everyone. My fears of non-English speaking and muggings shall be demolished!

#5) WRITE A BOOK
I have always wanted to write a book. I am going to sit down and write, and write and write until I have a book. It may never get published, actually it probably never will. I can just pass it down to my future grandchildren. Who knows, they might get a kick out of it.

#6) TAKE MY PAINTINGS TO AN ART EXHIBIT
I have a lot of drawings stashed away. Some are oil paints, some are charcoal, some are with crayons....but I have a LOT of them. I think I am rather talented. One day, I want to gather up my best and take them to an exhibit. Love them or hate them, at least I tried.

#7) FINALLY CREATE MY TU-TU'S FOR AN ACTUAL HUMAN
I have a creative idea in my head....I want to make tu-tu's and matching bows for a little girl. If I ever have a daughter, I wanted to make her a tu-tu and matching bow for every holiday. Red, white and blue for the Fourth of July. Purple, black and orange for Halloween. Green and red for Christmas. So on and so forth. There are two problems with this logic. 1) I have two sons....2) I never have time to make bows and tu-tu's. So before I die, I want to sit down and make these. I may have to donate them to charity, sell them online, or give them away...but I will do it. I am going to make time for tu-tu's!

#8) TAKE ADULT DANCE CLASSES
I love dancing. I took dance lessons for thirteen years. I have looked into taking classes again, but I can only find classes that cost an arm and a leg. I wouldn't be very graceful with only one arm and one leg! One day, I WILL find a cheaper class and take it.


Life is too short to waste on dreams. I'm going to LIVE my life not dream about it. My list may be short, but it is near and dear to my heart. I WILL DO ALL OF THE ABOVE! I WILL NOT DIE THINKING "WHAT IF..."
