100 Things: Parts 1-10

It’s so easy in our hustle and bustle lives to get stuck. It only takes a minute for any person, no matter how great, to lose touch with what is really important and get lost in the mundane details of daily life. And it takes even less time for that life to be gone, mundane details and all. I started to develop this list a while ago, but in the past week, I have really started to take stock of my life and what I want to do with it (thanks to Mighty Girl, who posted her own list last week). What’s important to me? And I wanted it to be truthful, not a fake representation of who I am. So I’ve finally decided to post my list of 100 things I want to do before I bite the big one. The list is ever changing and constantly evolving, but I thought it would be a fun idea to keep it on this site and cross out those items that I do accomplish. Because we all know how much I love to-do lists. And how much I love crossing items off said lists. It will be interesting to see what items actually do end up getting crossed off and which ones will just stay on the list as a symbolic wish. My hope is that some of you will leave me some ideas in the comments…what is on your list? Why? I’d love to know.

Items 1-10

1. Learn to play the guitar
2. Purchase my own house
3. Get my scuba diving certification
4. Visit all 7 continents
5. Skydive
6. Get over my fear of boats by going on a cruise
7. Learn to snowboard
8. Blog everyday for a month
9. Write and publish a fiction novel
10. Take Trent to Amsterdam and eat lunch on the lawn of the Van Gogh Museum

I think I will get over my “fear of boats” by going on a cruise too!

I would like to live in another country for a year again before I die. Preferably one year for each continent, and try to stay in countries that are not English speaking if possible (Austrailia might be hard).

I think you should add “to become fluent in Italian” to your list.

I am with you on #1 and #6 and didn’t you and I eat a hotdog on the lawn on the museum in Amsterdam? Maybe Luke and I can join you on that trip and we can go to a sex show again. I still don’t eat bananas.
