My Bucket List and Why it's Mine

 

 

Ah, the coveted bucket list!

 

Yes, I do have one!  What's on it, well let's see....

#4 See a Broadway Play

 

I remember being in school and seeing the most well put together play in the world!  It was a the local civic center, A Mid Summer Night's Dream, I believe and the stage was amazing!  The characters were amazing!  And the play was mesmerizing!  I long for that day again, so I really want to see Wicked, The Lion King, and/or Legally Blonde ( I saw this play on TV - it was amazing even on TV!)  So, I think I actually want to travel to New York (I've never been), so that I can get the full effect there!  I'm thrilled just speaking about it!

#3 Learn to Play the Piano

Yep, I would love to do that.  Being a fan of Stevie Wonders and Alicia Keys doesn't help this I'm sure.  I love piano music, like for real for real!  It's so soothing and mellow or can not be, but that's the kind I like.  So classical and eloquent and flowing...yep, I long to be able to play this instrument.  I don't see myself in an opera house or anything like that.  Just home, in my well lit den, on my piano, playing and singing.  I think I have a good ear for music or I like to tell myself that.  This is really one of my dreams.  I just have to find the time to take lessons.  I'm terrified though.  I wonder if I can practice on a keyboard since I can't afford or don't want to invest in a piano at this time?  I just picture a mean, stout lady with (with a bun) and a ruler in her hand who will crack my knuckles with her ruler whenever I hit the wrong note! Yikes!
I just think it would be so soothing!

#2 Learn to Swim

Ok, after #1 (you'll read in a minute), I would like to learn how to swim.  I'll head over to the YMCA, take some classes and be swimming with the dolphins in no time!  Ok, swimming with the dolphins is extremely figurative speaking.  Don't think I would ever want to get in the ocean past my knees.  Nope, no thank you, have at it, and good luck!  I'm sure when I decided to, Jaws, the whale from the Bible, the Lockness monster, and all the mysterious creatures of the sea will somehow introduce themselves to me. No thanks!  However, if I went on a cruise and the boat capsizes as in Titanic, maybe I'll have a fighting chance...I guess...if somehow I can get the sea creatures to join in the rescue and not eat me up.  Or if I'm leisurely at the pool or the beach and someone needs rescuing...I don't know.  I like being around water, so I feel that it's only appropriate that I learn to swim.

 

#1 50lb Weight Loss - currently 195lbs

Yep, I don't think anything else happens if this doesn't happen and fast.  Ok, I know it doesn't need to happen fast or it won't last.  But I don't think people understand this who haven't been through or going through this.  People say looks aren't everything, but let me just drop these 50lbs please and be healthy at the same time!  I've never been this heavy in my life and I'm tired of it!  I haven't seen the 180's in so long!  I don't remember when I weighed that much, maybe back in 2012.  I can't believe I just kept gaining! I don't know maybe I thought I was invincible...sigh.  I can't wait, I can't wait when I see someone I haven't seen in awhile and they are like, you look really good!  Instead of saying, OMG you have gained weight!  I have heard plenty of conversations of ladies talking about other ladies' weight and I cringe because I know they could easily be talking about me. :-(    

Sound Off!

So there you have it.  Hmmm, a timeline you say?  Well, I would definitely like #1 and #2 to happen this year.  We'll revisit the rest after that and probably add more to the list at that time.  Got a bucket list or recently marked some things off?  Share it!  Or...tell me about mine.  Do you share the same goals?  Have you experienced any of them?  I would love to hear what you have to say!
