I know what you're thinking. "Two posts in one day? You know, you probably could've just made one post using both topics and that would've been okay. Weirdo ..." And I know. I totally could've done that. Except, I'm an insane OCD psycho freak, and I can only have one topic for a post. But I have two things to post about. And thus we get one day, two posts. That's the long and short of it.
I would like to announce that I totally rock at Bucket Lists ... That may not be entirely true. Perhaps I'm getting a little ahead of myself. How about instead we say, I would like to announce that I totally get to cross something off my Bucket List today. That's more accurate. Tonight I completed item number 59 on my list: Blow out a dandelion all the way. Exciting, right? I really live life on the edge. But honestly, my whole life, I've never been able to blow all the stupid seeds off one of those dang dandelions! It's about 80 times more difficult than it looks. Ridiculous. So tonight at the Young Family Mother's Day Extravaganza, Lizzie, Laura, and I snuck away to the elementary school by Grandma and Grandpa's house. Where they most conveniently have a field full (and I mean seriously full) of dandelions just waiting to be blown away. It took forever, but we have a success. Not only do I get a wish come true (oh goody!), I also get to put a little check mark on my bucket list! YES! So great.
In other Bucket List news, I have inadvertantly completed number 55: Write a blog. And I totally forgot it was on my list! That's another check mark.
I've chosen a few other things from my Bucket List to work on this summer.
1. Stay awake for 24 hours straight. I always end up taking a nap on accident.
26. Read all of Jane Austen's novels. Only two more to go!
27. Read Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. Still working on that ... At a snail's pace ...
28. Purchase "Cats Don't Dance" on DVD. For those of you who haven't seen it, let me tell you, you're missing out big time.
40. Own a potted plan that DOESN'T die. I just can't keep them alive. It's ridiculous.
44. Have an Unbirthday Party. Yay!
52. Burn all math/chemistry notes in a fire. That will be cathartic.
53. Color an entire coloring book. Think about it. No one ever actually finishes them. I will be the first.
Sounds so super fun, right? It's okay to be jealous. My life is very exciting, and jealousy is often the reaction I get. So don't worry. It's totally normal.
I am well on my way to rocking my un[OFFICIAL] Bucket List.
*It's not official until it's printed out and hanging on my wall.*
