I posted a while back about the "bucket list" concept. You know, making a list of all the things you want to do before you kick the bucket. Not a very elegant way to look at it, but effective.
I've been gathering some of mine. Have a look. At the very least, I hope it spurs something for your own list. At best, may it compel you to share your list by commenting! (C'mon, what do you have to lose?!)
- To run in a wiener race (cultural note: I live in Wisconsin... this happens at every baseball game the Brewers play at home). I'd like to be an Italian sausage or a kielbasa, I think.
- To be immortalized as a Muppet or a bobble head. (Bronze busts are so unbecoming!)
- Spend a full day in a nudist colony (no matter what shape I'm in) having meaningful conversations with total strangers.
- Learn to dive head first into water (still haven't even though dozens have tried to teach me.)
- Chop a board in half with my hand (without breaking my hand...)
- Run or bike or walk across several hundred mile stretches meeting, talking with and staying with interesting people I've never met.
As I wrote, I noticed a theme. Barring the "immortalization" item, apparently I'm seeking to dive into scary situations (literally or figuratively) with a strong sense of trust in the unknown. Good to know.
What about you? What does your list reveal?

Hi Julie! I see a "weiner" theme - I always wanted to ride in the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile. Riding horseback across country I haven't seen, visiting Italy with my husband, learning how to play chess, SCUBA diving, visiting the Galapagos Islands, seeing a NYC fashion show during Fashion Week, and swimming with dolphins would really top off the bucket.
I have always wanted to shave my head! As a teacher, business owner, and mother of three, it never seemed to be the right time. Maybe I am secretly hoping it will grow in thicker and more luxurious than before...
