Bucket List

Phone call around 1:30 yesterday afternoon confirmed that I have a little more time to work on my bucket list (i.e. no cancer):

1. Go on a trip to a place I cannot reach via Kia Spectra or Carnival Cruise Lines

2. See my son graduate, get married, have a child of his own

3. Graduate law school, Pass bar exam, Practice law

4. Own a home

5. Get something published

6. Learn a second language

7. Meet someone I have admired from a distance

8. Celebrate my fifty year wedding anniversary

10. See all the touristy landmarks I have never seen (that means every touristy landmark period)

11. Take a vacation with my best friends

12. Learn to play piano

13. Take more literature classes

14. Surf

15. Live on a beach

16. Throw a really great party

17. Own my own business

18. See the Cowboys win the super bowl

19. Watch my son achieve something he has worked hard for

20. Drive a standard without sweating bullets

Obviously I was scared for no reason, but I want to achieve my goals more than ever now. Better late than never.

P.S. I promise to cut out the emotional crap and return to bitchy commentary and humorous child-rearing anecdotes.
