Fun Monday - Bucket List

Tiggerlane is hosting Fun Monday this week, asking that we post at least 5 items on our personal Bucket List. Things we want to accomplish by the time we kick the bucket. I have crafted a few of these over the years, however, to my knowledge, none of the lists survived.

The list is sure to have evolved over the years. Today, I simply typed up the first things that came to mind, cooked dinner, watched a great halftime show, all the time thinking of other things to add to the list. Yet, it seems that the first grouping of items is what I really really really want to accomplish. The things that seem to simply roll out of me, not requiring any further thinking.

So... here are the the absolute top items on my Bucket List:

  1. Marry my best friend.

  2. Take an Alaskan cruise.

  3. Sit on my wrap-around front porch, watching my 3.2 kids play in the yard.

  4. Visit Europe, Brazil, Australia and Canada.

  5. Volunteer on Thanksgiving.

  6. Send my parents on their dream vacation.

  7. Own another ‘67 Mustang.

I am sure if I spent more time working on this, I could come up with 100 items. However, these are my absolute top priorities. I love this topic. I can't wait to see yours!

I think yours is the third list I've read with an Alaskan cruise on it. I'm saving for one myself!

Hootin Anni said...

Excellent list....but 3.2 kids are playing in the yard? The .2 is what's got me puzzled....

My Fun Monday is posted. I had a good time this week, voicing my opinions on Fun Monday.
Happy week to you.

Lovely list!

Fianna said...

I am so glad to see there are other wrap around porch fanatics! Just don't buy MY dream porch!

Hootin' Anni: I am sure of 3 kids, not 100% on 4.

I don't really have a bucket list. I already have everything that I ever wanted out of life. Well, at least all of the important parts, anyhow.
I have a wife, two kids, and a red Swingline stapler. What more could a guy want?

Simply Jenn said...

I love your priorities! Watch out for that .2 of a kid, he's usually a lot of trouble.

Sandy said...

Gosh, I love #3. Can I sit on your porch with you?

I'll even help with the 3.2 kids.

I dream of a wrap-around porch too. but have never owned a house that could display one properly.

ChrisB said...

I see Alaska is a popular destination. Now what a pity my daughters aren't doing this they could copy your idea to send your parents on a dream location!

Great list. I've always wanted a wrap-around porch. My grandparents are cruise-a-holics and have proclaimed the Alaskan cruise to the the absolute BEST!

Attie said...

Great list! I've always wanted to volunteer at Thanksgiving too.

I've never been on an Alaskan Cruise and I live in ALaska. One day. I have done lots of trips in smaller boats in the ocean to see glaciers, incredible scenary, wildlife, whales, etc.

marry my best friend? Oh everytime I think of that I think of Julia Roberts and Dermot Mulroney and Rupert Everett and I start singing! out Loud!

Jenni said...

This is horrible, but I just keep wondering about the child with the missing .8. Is this like that email that I get once a year about the boy born with only a head and no lower body? Please, for the sake of the child, stick with only whole numbers.

Michelle said...

What a beautiful, simple list!! I would love a wrap around porch!! I hope you get that one!!

Tiggerlane said...

I have the perfect porch, but I'm scared about what that .2 kid is gonna look like. Great list- and thanks for participating!

Linda said...

Wow, I like your list - simple and easy (relatively) to accomplish! Thanks for sharing it!
