My Bucket List. Electronicalized.

I don't know why I do, but I keep my bucket list on a repeatedly folded sheet of paper tucked away in my already overly cluttered wallet.  The piece of paper containing the list was created on Word Document.  Nothing special. But for appearance sake, I added simple black border encasing the once empty white-space -  thank you 4th grade poetry book assignment.  Learning how to use those borders have stamped the "+" on many a English grade many a semester -  And in the lower left corner I have "artistically" placed the title "THE BUCKET LIST."  Yes.  In all caps.  I think I'm so artsy fartsy sometimes.

Of course, I rarely look at my bucket list.  I rarely look at anything in my wallet (hence the cluttered comment earlier).  But I keep it in there nonetheless for those freakish moments when adventure and spice of life come calling.  Here are the cries to vivacity:

(Obviously not in order.  I would hate to be judged on what I find most important on this list)

  • Hike on the John Muir Trail
  • Own a Garage Doors Incorporated garage door
  • Stay at the Opryland Hotel
  • Order Everything on the TacoBell menu in one sitting ( as of 6/19/13 that would total $320.10...I think I'll invite a couple friends to help eat over $300 worth of food...maybe...)
  • Get a Hickey on Hickey Road in San Francisco (side note:  I have never actually been on Hickey Road.  If it is at all sketchy FORGET IT!)
  • Do the Alfred Hitchcock tour in San Francisco
  • Learn to play the violin - well enough to play in Sacrament meeting (but of course my supreme abilities will be kept from society so as NOT to play in Sacrament meeting.  MR. Flute, I've learned my lesson)
  • Climb a volcano - sleeping, obviously
  • Go see U.S.S. Arizona @ Pearl Harbor
  • Watch a hockey game in a Canadian Bar
  • Learn how to reupholster furniture
  • Make French/White Bread successfully (I've had many failed attempts.  Stupid Beast Yeast!)
  • Collect a jar of black sand from Vik Beach, Iceland
  • Get a love song from Delilah 94.5 KBAY on engagement night.  I am still trying to decide whether to call her before anyone else.  I imagine there would be great satisfaction in saying "We just got engaged Delilah, and you're the first to know! Now pick us out a love song woman!"
  • Learn Morse Code with my significant other so when we're hanging with friends or in a crowded room, we can one up everyone with our secrets
  • Snow mobile the Norway-Sweden border
  • Witness a tornado 
  • Pan for gold.  Find some gold flakes.  Put those gold flakes in a Medallion.  Wear my Medallion. Boast to everyone.
  • TBD
  • TBD
  • TBD time Infinity

  1. Just caught up on your blog. Fun! When I first read "Climb a volcano- sleeping obviously," I thought: how do you climb a volcano while sleeping? HA!
