Now I'm going to share my list with you. There are some dicy things here to share (well one - the illegal one!). But what is a blog without any genuine sharing?
Okay, here's the list:
- Have a baby. Yay! I've done this. Off to a good start - now the rest of them I haven't done, so I'll not celebrate too loudly.
- Have a novel published. I've written 2, but have thus far been too cowardly to do anything with them.
- Own my own home
- Own a Chanel 2.55
- Get a cat
- Visit South East Asia (Vietnam, Cambodia)
- Do an MFA in creative writing
- Start a jewellery line
- Get a tattoo
- Get a UK passport and get over my fear of being a royal subject
- Learn a martial art
- Get down to my ideal weight. I was just about there but then I had a baby. Not a good diet plan!
- Do a walking tour in Italy
- Do a course in interior design
- Change my hair colour. Once I start getting grey hairs, I'll have strong motivation for this one
- Finish my stupid CIM qualification. Embarrassingly, I failed the Marketing Research exam. I've never failed anything before in my life! Well, it turns out I was taking the course when I was going through a depression, so not great timing.
- Live in a city I’ve never lived before. Lots to choose from, as so far I've only lived in (counting suburbs of cities): Dayton, Ohio; Colorado Springs, Colorado; Washington, DC; New York City, New York; Glasgow, Scotland
- Do mushrooms again. Okay, this is the dicey, illegal one. And some day my daughter may read this. I'm not a big druggy, but I did mushrooms once many years ago when I was having a very difficult time. My mother was battling a terminal brain tumour and someone gave me mushrooms for my 30th birthday. It was just something I felt I needed to do. It was an interesting experience, and, among other things, it gave me an even better appreciation for the film version of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
- Be given an engagement ring. When we got married we were too poor to buy one.
- Master tarot cards (not have to look up meanings). I enjoy giving tarot readings but I'm too insecure to just trust myself and get rid of the book.
- Have a garden, roof terrace or large balcony
- Pet a tiger cub
- Illustrate a book I’ve written
- Win something
- Write a graphic novel
- Celebrate our 50 year wedding anniversary
- Get a made to measure suit
- Start a business with my sisters. I miss you Diana and Caren!
- Go yard saling again. My mother used to take us to yard sales on a Saturday morning. She'd get the paper and meticulously plan our route the night before. It was fun and I got some of my best jewellery and vinyl records on those trips.
- Share an expensive and exquisite vintage bottle of wine with Bobby. I had some of a 1982 Margaux once - something along those lines.
- Get everyone of my friends and family together in one place for a giant party
- Have a room of my own. A place I can write, think, or just stare at the walls.
- Travel on the Orient Express
- Go to Bali
- Quit my job and work for myself
Okay - that's my list. What about you? What's on your bucket list?
