My Life List...


I have never been much for making lists. Well... up until recently that is.  In fact, I used to think these people were just a little crazy, that had to have a list that told them what to do and how to do it. I have even known people that their lists have lists!

 Now... as I am getting ssshhhhh! a little older. Well... Maybe a lot older. Eeeekk! I seem to be one of "those" people with said list. Ok... I will admit, it is very satisfying, fun and calming to cross off the items, and when I saying crossing off I get a colorful pen and cross away. I'm realizing that I'm getting much more done because of this list! It's just plain fun crossing off the items such as... Wash the dogs, clean the porch, laundry, make cupcakes for Lindsey's birthday dinner, Make tissue pom-poms for Sharron's baby shower, clean out refrigerator. Ok I will stop there, but you get the picture.

Then I started thinking... I should have a Life List, aka Bucket List! It would be fun to have an ongoing, hopefully one day I get to do this list! So here are 50 things that I would love to do one day...

  1. WOW. That's all I have to say. WOW. It is waayyy too intimidating to me to make that kind of list, but maybe I'm just a big chicken! Sounds like you have an exciting time ahead of you :)

  2. I want to go to Paris too and rent an apartment, maybe for a month! You can come for 2 weeks...Oh and a cabin for the summer would be sooo fun! Cross off photoshop, there is no way to learn it! I am such a crazy list person, if I do something that is not on my list, I write it on and then cross it off....Crazy Lady!

  4. Hi Katie, Thank you so much for your sweet comment on my blog recently. I love your list! I started one a while ago, but after reading yours, I see that I need to spice mine up a bit! I love the Paris idea.

    Warmly, Michelle
    PS-I also have a tri-colored Cavalier named "Sam", but he is much fatter than your Emma. What a beauty. LOVE that breed.
