The Bucket List

The Bucket List is a comedy-drama starting Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. The movie is about 2 terminally ill men going on a road trip with a wish list of things to do before they "kick the bucket".

Just recently, my friend Lacy tagged me in facebook reagarding "The Bucket List". In the facebook bucket list version, you put an X next to a list of things that you have done during your lifetime. I did that list in facebook but I'm changing it a bit here. Here's my version of "The Busket List":

Things I have done during my lifetime:
Skipped school
Cried myself to sleep
Sang Karaoke
Paid for a meal with coins only (It was probably at McDonald's or Burger King, sorry, I'm not proud)
"Ding-dong ditched" someone
Done something I told myself I wouldn't
Made prank phone calls
Laughed until some kind of beverage came out of my nose or elsewhere
Caught a snowflake on my tongue
Blown bubbles
Gone to the movies
Given someone a gift without them knowing it was from you (Secret Santa does not count)
Lay down outside at night and admired the stars while listening to the crickets
Been to Washington
Been to Maine
Been to California
Been down Bourbon Street in New Orleans (Many times!)
Been down Bourbon Street in New Orleans for Mardi Gras ("Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez")
Seen the Statue of Liberty
Been to the Grand Canyon
Been to Disneyland ---or Disney World
Traveled by train
Traveled by motorcycle
Been deep sea fishing (Awesome time!)
Gone snowmobiling
Lived in more than one country
Been on a plane
Been lost
Swam in the ocean
Seen whales in the ocean
Been to Niagara Falls
Been to Canada
Made snowangels
Been to a Major League Baseball game (Atlanta Braves vs NY Mets)

Things I would like to do before I "kick the bucket":
Skydiving
Swim with the dolphins
Visit Italy
Take a cruise to Alaska and do some fishing
Go to Yellowstone
Take a cross-country camping trip
What about you? Do you have a list of things that you would like to do before you "kick the bucket"? You are welcome to share this list by leaving me a comment. Or if you perfer, consider yourself "tagged" to do this at your blog!

Thanks Kim!
Those are Wahoos(sounds like a name from Whoville, haha). We had a great time! I had to take a motion sickness pill before going on board.

Great list! And you'll never look back and wondered if you really lived life! ;o)

Interesting, YD. Sounds like you have lived a rich and varied life. We did the deep sea fishing once when the kids were little, the youngest was only 3, but he was strapped into the chair and given a pole like the rest of us. A great memory.

A great list! Mom would like to live in the Mountains of Colorado or Montana. She's also like to go to Italy, get her motorcycle license and visit the Smithsonian.
