This is amazing, because I was *just* thinking about this. I spent half the morning looking at the archives and being inspired.
I want to drink chaud vin in a Paris cafe at Christmastime… (!)

Slowly working on this list – but one of the big things for me is to participate in a Murder Mystery weekend at a B&B or Plantation in LA.

I don’t have a whole “life list,” but there is one thing I’d like to do. I’d like to read “Les Miserables” in the original French. This means I need to learn French.
And just like that, I have to items on my list!

I actually started my list because of you Maggie!

KT is going to spend a lifetime at the Hermitage. That place is bonkers huge, and so so exhausting. Heaven.

Here is the beginning of my list. Numbers 26-50 are written in my journal still, not having made it to the internets just yet. But, going back to the beginnings of my list just now, I realize how many of these things I’ve done just in the year since I posted it. Specifically:
2. Visit British Columbia
22. Learn how to knit a hat
23. Make pottery again
24. Take kids camping
25. Have a job I love
I think the universe was listening. 🙂

I’ve spent the day at the Hermitage, a la KT of Review Notes. KT, you’ll always feel cheated unless you make it at least two days.

I can’t link to a list. 😦 Blog has been private for a long time. The trouble with being in the medical profession. So I’ll add on to my previous one (chaud vin).
51. Go back to Nicaragua and lay in a hammock on the beach.
52. Donate to charity on a regular basis.
53. Stand in the middle of the marketplace in Marrakesh.
54. Learn to salsa – really well, then stun friends with my moves.
55. Go on a Central Park date.
56. Go to an observatory and look through the telescope.
57. Take an art history class.
58. Fold 1,000 origami cranes.
59. Stand in the middle of a crowd and yell, “The stars at night! Are big and bright!” and have bystanders clap their hands and sing, “Deep in the heart of Texas!” a la Pee Wee Herman’s Big Adventure. This might take several tries though. Best if not actually in Texas.
60. Have a confetti party.

I know I’m a butt for saying this but every time I see or read about red shoes I remember Carson Kressley from Queer eye saying, “Red shoes are for whores and little children,” according to his mother anyway…

Hi Maggie!
Your list inspired me to make my own bucket list a few months ago. I included a few things I’d already done because it didn’t feel right to leave them off. And then I thought that some day my kids would probably like to know about some of the crazy things their mama did in her day, so then I started a blog about my progress through my bucket list. I’m shy about sharing these things on the internets, so I won’t link to it here (though if you ask me nicely I’ll share it with you!), but here are some of my favorites:
6. Become a mother
12. Buy an original piece of art
17. Create a childhood book for each of the kids
18. Create my own cocktail
23. Experience weightlessness
27. Float in the Dead Sea
39. Host a scavenger hunt
40. Learn archery
44. Learn to fly a plane
57. Pick a favorite charity and donate more every quarter
62. See Ayers Rock at sunrise
91. Visit Petra
Thx for inspiring me to do this – it has already impacted my life in a very positive way, as am now making concrete plans to do all these things. Since I made the list in July I’ve crossed 2 things off and 6 are in progress. So fun!
