*Take a long trip on a yacht with just DH and me and no communication devices and we will have a personal chef/driver of the yacht

*Go to Canada for the first time and visit Al and Heather

*go hang-gliding
*go up in one of those chairs/bikes with a motor on it that you can go all over in the air
*take a road trip accross the country


hmmmm this is what I came up with off of the top of my head

 

[imported_Nikkijo]

That's a good list Nikki! Mine will take some time to work on. I'll do mine later. (hopefully before I kick the bucket)

I will edit to add as I think of more.

 

[Christ Follower]

Dont be shy.....post your bucket list here.

 

[Christ Follower]

So Nikki and I are the only ones with things they want to do before we die or is it just too morbid for all of you? LOL!

 

[ddbritt]

What am I? Month-old forgotten leftovers??? I mean, I live in the same *city* as Alison -- you don't want to see me??? :cry::cry:

 

[karaboo2]

As for my list, I'm thinking about it. I know I want to go to Germany, Australia, and New Zealand to visit exchange students we have hosted. I also want to take my family on some spectacular vacation. I'm thinking of more ... will post when I figure it out!!!

 

[friday]

i dont know that i 'get' the bucket list. Tell me more about it.

 

[pcchris]

i dont know that i 'get' the bucket list. Tell me more about it.

It's quite simple, really........

what would you like to do in your life before you "kick the bucket"? (die)

 

[pcchris]

I'd like to:
go for a ride in the space shuttle...
go see Italy.......
see both of my children married and happy with their lives...
live in a clean house with unlimited "me" time...
own a cat..........
go see the Grand Canyon....
go to a Patriots game...

there's a lot more, but my brain is fried. will add more later.

 

[friday]

AH before I kick the BUCKET. I get it now. I guess I was equating Bucket with trash bucket and didnt get it. Duh. I'll be ok after a few shots of nyquil...

Bucket list....
I haven't given it a whole lot of dedicated thought.

I want to prove to myself that I am a capable, competent human being with value (which means recovering from the depression and unlearning the things that my abusive father, neglectful mother, and abusive former spouse taught me oh so well)

I believe I would like to become a minister and give sermons and pastor a church. Somewhere inside of me I think this is part of a calling for me.

I would like to write a book. I have considered calling it 'Behind The White Picket Fence'®(yup- registered) (I have given this more than a fleeting thought). It might be a collection of stories of abused children and spouses and the ugly secrets they keep. Or maybe the story of an abused child who grows up into a series of abusive relationships and the terrible, but very common, cycle of abuse that so many women get trapped in.

And I would like to live to see my 13th Friday the 13th birthday. I will be 86. I want to be in the newspaper that day!

 

[missydivine]

Okay, I really haven't set down to think about all of this but I do know a few off the top of my head.....


Go back to China and walk on the Great Wall this time
Learn Chinese (as well as I can since I'm an adult)
Go to WDW with my kids while they are still young
Take a real family vacation and drive somewhere stopping on the way.(We'll see if that ever happens)
Go back to Germany and take dh to see where his family is from.
Mother Daughter Granddaughter trip to England (Mom's been talking about that for years, we are just waiting for the little ones to get old enough, or we will have to take more than one trip.)
Get my house clean and organized. (

)

 

[missydivine]

I'm sure I will come up with more. I think a lot of those are sooner than later things and things I think will really happen.

 

[Christ Follower]

That's a good list Mary! I like the clean house thing....nice way to add some humor to the list.....lol!

 

[Christ Follower]

SO I should add writing a children's book to my list....I forgot that one.

 

[missydivine]

That would be fun, I'm going to be doing that soon about my dd's. I got one of those things from Target well it's a scrapbook, and you do it all online and they send you the book. I haven't looked to see exactly what to do, but I'm going to put pictures of them in it and write a story instead of doing it as a scrapbook. I think it will be fun and they will be the center of the book.

 

[missydivine]

I've also thought about writing one about our early months with the second one. She was a trying child. Beautiful and trying.

That is a really cute idea! I did a 8x8 scrapbook (pink of course) for my DD for Valentines day last year. It was titled "How do I love thee?" and then said let me count the ways and on every page there was a picture of her and a description of her and why I loved her. Some of the pages had scripture. For example I put an ultrasound pic of her in there and used the "before I formed you in your mothers womb I knew you" scripture. I had a basket ball pic and said how outgoing and athletic she is. Stuff like that. A pic of her holding her baby brother and saying what a good big sis she is. She reads it all the time. It's a great affirmation book.

 

[missydivine]

That is so cool! I've seen other books sortof like that, but you can't get enough of them. I'm sure it's really special to her.

 

[finley1991]

HO Ooops!Well... I am posting this here because if I post it anywhere else, well, as you read you'll know what would happen if I posted this where anyone else could see it!

Got my products and guess what was in my box? The Mega Scraper!!! I knew we weren't supposed to get it and I checked the packing slip and it said that it's delayed. But I didn't get the Master Scraper. I'm sure it was just picked wrong. I'll call HO on Monday. I feel bad now because I opened it up to show it to my mom... I guess I should have kept it in the wrapper in case they want me to send it back....

 

[Mel5497]

maybe they'll just tell you to keep it.

 

[shelliebeard]

How funny! I'm sure they would tell you to keep it.

 

[kcjodih]

my guess is that those two will be miss packed a lot. Kinda like the suds pump and kitchen spritzer.

Can you imagine the upsets if you had posted that on CS? GEEZ, I love the place.

 

[finley1991]

Can you imagine the upsets if you had posted that on CS?

That's why I posted it here in the "safe" area!

Although part of me really wanted to post it there just to pi** off the others. :devil: But that would have only been a temporary feel-good. I'm sure the suffering for it that I would have had to endure wouldn't have made it worth it!

 

[dannyzmom]

Hmmm...I think you should ship it to Colechef.
:devil:

[BethCooks4U]

Now, now ladies!

 

[missydivine]

I want to lose a ton of weight! Sooner would be better than later, but I think that should be on my list. I want to be healthy and active. I know it's something I can do.

 

[ChefLisa]

Hmmm...I think you should ship it to Colechef.
:devil:

You are so naughty!!!:devil:

 

[dannyzmom]

You are so naughty!!!:devil:

Who, me?? :angel:

 

[BethCooks4U]

You are so lucky Colleen! I was hoping that would happen in my order but no such luck here! I'll be patient though.

I would be shocked if they had you send it back!

 

[finley1991]

Now I feel like a total idiot!!!!

In all of my excitement to get the Mega Scraper I didn't realize that I was missing 5 other items from my DB box!!! Anyone else experience this?

I only noticed it when I went to set up my table of products for my spring kick-off tomorrow. UGH! I called them already about my missing Master Scraper. I hope they don't think I'm a total idiot for calling again! UGH!

The good news is that my level 2 box is supposed to be delivered today and what I'm missing from DB should be in there!

Can't believe I overlooked the cookware protectors! How could I miss those???? :sick:

 

[Mel5497]

You will love the protectors. They are happily snuggled among my Executive pots.:love0010:
