Bucket List

I'm in a writing mood.
And...I've always wanted to write a list of things I want to do.  So here it is...not the complete one...just things I can think of off the the top of my head. (Believe me, I have tons of time to dream up these things at work).

  • Ride a horse. No, gallop on a horse. Preferably alone (no Wraiths chasing me, thank you) in a forested area/mountainous while wearing an elven dress with a bow on my back and sword at my waist. : ) Hey, a girl can dream.
  • Go Kyaking
  • Try "quality" sushi
  • learn to Riverdance. lol...yes. Also, other dances: Bellydance (for my future husband only..haha), Irish jig, salsa, etc, and I want to get better at swing dancing. :)
  • read all of the most known books on the Collegiate list of Classical Literature and have a room designated as the "library" in my future house
  • sew a quilt
  • learn how to play the violin/write enough original songs with my guitar to make a cd/basically just improve my musical skills...
  • hold a real monkey :)
  • have a huge garden and learn how to can my produce
  • Be as good of a cook as my mother
  • Own my own house and vehicle (...and hopefully get married to share the house...but this list is about things that I can do on my own....who knows, God might not have a man for me)
  • learn to drive a motorcycle....a secret dream of mine...now not-so-secret. :)
  • paint a mural (wall in my house someday)
  • See the Taj Mahal (I don't really care about the rest of India...I've just always wanted to see this masterpiece of architecture)
  • Since I'm traveling to Europe in two weeks and I know I'll visit Paris and Ireland while I'm there, I can cross that off the list (after the Taj Mahal...I think New Zealand is next on the list. So I can walk the LOTR trail. lol, I'm not kidding)
  • I just want to travel...a lot!
  • get laser eye surgery
  • grow my hair out and cut it as many times as I can stand for Locks of Love
  • get more physically fit. I'd like to be able to run at least five miles. :) (ok, some of you may think that is ridiculous considered I've been skinny all my life...and it is. But I'm not trying to loose weight.  I'm just one of those weirdos who actually enjoy that tight muscle sweaty clamminess after a good workout...mmm)
  • organize a weeklong camping trip to Colorado (hopefully with my future family...if not...then with friends)
  • I want to fly. Not in a machine.  And if skydiving/hang-gliding is the way to do that...well.... :)
  • write a fantasy novel with my own illustrations. And publish it.
  • I would love to sail on a pirate ship on the ocean :)
  • read through the ENTIRE Bible. (but of course, it is classical literature...)
  • sponsor a child and buy a girl out of human sex trafficking 
  • build a treehouse with a swing on one of the branches (c'mon...I never got one as a kid. Plus...I want it to look like something from Lothlorien or Rivendell. Wow, my elf-love is really coming out in this entry)
  • attend a service at Mars Hill, Rob Bell's church
  • Baptize someone I helped lead to Christ
I'm sure there is more...but it is bedtime. :)
