Gift Bag Giveaway: Epiphanie Bag and Photojojo Instant Camera
So! The gift bags for the Federated Media cocktail party in New York were kind of jaw dropping thanks to a couple of good friends. Maile from Epiphanie Bags, the woman who did our family photoshoot, offered to give us a bunch of her camera bags:
Then our friends downstairs at Photojojo said they could get us some Fuji Instax Minis and film:
Are these gift bags ludicrous? Yes they are. Do you want one?
Leave a comment telling us something on your life list by Monday, August 30 at noon PST. Your comment enters you for a chance to win the Lola Epiphanie camerabag and Photojojo’s Fuji Instax Mini 25 Instant Camera. I hope you win, because I like you very much. Thanks for reading.
Now for the fine print: Please only leave one comment, because it’s the nice thing to do, and also because multiple entries will be disqualified. I’ll use random.org to select the winner, and I’ll announce who won at the top of this post and in a separate post on Monday.
Yes. YEEEEEEEEES! I wants it!!
On my lifellist is travel to Ireland, which my husband I plan to cross off the list next May.
Visit Farm Sanctuary in New York!
The first item on my life list is to have a reason to go get a passport. I want to go somewhere…

One of my items is to take a month-long summer vacation with my children.

On my life list is to travel to Hawaii and Italy for Ultimate Frisbee tournaments. The husband and I are working on this one.

Would love to take the camera with me!

My life list is really just ideas floating around in my head. I’ve never put it down on paper. So I suppose the most important thing on my life list right now… is to get around to making my life list.
Or to go on a cruise.
Next up on my life list is running a half marathon triple-crown – three half marathons in one year. One down, two to go, hopefully done by early December!
I just added a new goal to my list: to fish for (some sort of sustainable, non-endangered) shark, clean it myself, and make the tasty shark meat into empanadas. Go on, ask me how that one came about.
I forget how I worded it, but I have on my list something to the effect of seeing red hot lava flow in Hawaii. We’re planning a trip with my husband’s family for 2012 and I’m starting to wonder if I should reconsider the boat tour I was thinking of and go for a helicopter tour…I’m concerned about sea sickness, you know? When the hot lava hits the cold ocean doesn’t it seem like that would churn up some waves? I need to add that to my list of research.
Take my vegetarian self to Buenos Aires!
(Which I did last week! I’m so full on medialunas and tostadas con queso!)

A stylish camera bag? I never thought I’d live to see the day!
Next up on the life list: “35. Take artistic nude photos of myself.” I want this to be an opportunity to view my plus size self as sexy and lovely, instead of unfinished and dieting.

I had two things that were very important to me in life…
1) have children and be a great mother to them. now I have two boys and LOVE them so much!
2) save money for them to go to college. I want them to learn the value of money, so my personal philosophy is to have them pay for half and I’ll pay for half. If they get a full scholarship, then I’ll save my half of tuition money to give them as a down payment on a house or as starter money for building a house. I’ve had to work for everything I’ve ever had and I know how hard it is to work full time and take difficult classes. I don’t want that for my children.

Why Lake Como you ask… Well here is the story behind why:
4 years ago, I had the amazing opportunity to go to Milano and Lake Como with my sister for a week. A few weeks before that trip I met my now fiance. While I was away in Italy, we missed each other so much that we were text messaging each other back an forth constantly.

I want to take my fiance to that exact place, where I stood and thought of him and make new amazing memories there together.

More casino beer with Dave in Las Vegas.
My friend Dave and I have tried to schedule a second meeting in Vegas for a few years, but the timing never worked out. At the end of July, we discovered that we had both made plans to fly out there on the same weekend with no prior planning. So, not only did I get to see him in Vegas again, but it came as a total surprise.

I’ve been ignoring my life list and my blog. My father died this summer and it has influenced the way I look at my life list. It’s changed some things and added others. Right now, No. 1 is to record the ordinary. I wish I had recorded my father’s voice more. I know it is on some recordings, but his voice was so strong, so booming…. I want more. My plan is to record my boys reading books, my mom talking about her quilt making (which I never slow down enough to actually listen to, but I’m going to), my husband describing his childhood summers in Florida, my brothers talking about golf or a card game or whatever….
i’m continually adding to my life list, but one of the big items on it is to live alone. i just moved into a studio apartment at the end of may and it’s just as wonderful as i thought it would be. aside from the perks of having total aesthetic control over my own space (and being able to give into my love of lime green), it’s let me relax and look at other items on my list and realize that i can totally make them happen.
