I rarely leave the house for anything other than carting kids to and from school, going to the grocery store, and the occasional doctors appointments. So maybe, just maybe, if I visualize myself getting out and doing something I will. And so, my Bucket List (Part I) was born…
1. Go Gaga and arrive anywhere inside of an egg
2. Destroy Tom Selleck (my mustache not the actor). I want to fry that bastard with a laser until he is no more.
3. Go blond just once
4. Learn Italian, more than just the curse words I’m already versed in, and visit my hair’s homeland.
5. Spend the night in a real haunted location (other than my house which is a story for another day).
6. Spend a regular day traveling around doing my normal everyday things via Jet Pack.
7. Shoot a gun
8. Meet a hero from my childhood…one of the New Kids on the Block
9. Go horseback riding on a beach
10. Face one of my biggest fears (no I won’t be using a public toilet) and cage dive with sharks
11. Be seen on television again (my last appearance was on the local PBS news in 1988 when I was a finalist in a turkey decorating contest)
12. Meet one of my modern day celebrity crushes: Matthew McConaughey (and pitch him my Extreme Make Over Mom Edition Show where he would be host), Alexander Skarsgard, and/or James Franco.
This list is in no particular order, not in any way complete, and is subject to change.
Got a Bucket List? What are some things you’d like to do before you kick it? Leave me a comment; I’d love to hear from you!

It goes along with conquering a fear, but I want to ride with a storm chaser. I am terrified of severe weather and I think I almost need a Helen Hunt moment (you know in Twister where she walks out closer to the tornado) and then I would be over it…or not. Crazy but it could work!
I’d also like to figure out my roots exactly. My Dad lost his father very young and his mother not too much longer after so he doesn’t know much and there is nothing written down anywhere.
Although we don’t get many tornadoes here, that scares me too! Although, I’d probably never be brave enough to go chase a serious storm! And good luck finding out about your heritage. I’m addicted to the shows on TV about genealogy & reuniting with family…it’s got to be hard not knowing, and even more amazing to find family you didn’t know you had!
Carol! If you want to cross something off your bucket list there’s a chance of tornado’s here in the Mid-Atlantic today! I’m a bit freaked out!
Well I can take care of 2 of those things for you!!! Maybe I see you going blonde in the near future!
I might need some real convincing! I WANT to go blond…but I’m scared to go blond….and if you can even temporarily kill Tom, I’ll be happy.
Can’t wait to come see you at the new place!
I can’t wait too! Good thing about haircolor is that you can always go back darker. Its always fun to try once at least!
I always wanted to be blonde, but my eyebrows are black.
I also have on my bucket list to learn italian.
I wanna be an extra on TV or in a movie,
I dont wanna swim with sharks, but would love to swim with dolphins.

My eyebrows are black too…no one would buy it
And I’d also love to swim with dolphins, but given the chance I’d jump right in…getting me into a shark cage might take some trickery.
I met Joey McIntyre a few years ago when he was doing the Dancing With the Stars tour. I was all giddy and shaky and couldn’t actually string two words together. I think he probably has a thing for me now:)
LOL….I wonder if I’d react like I would have when I was 12?? Donnie was always my favorite, but I’d be happy to meet any of them. Or, Marky-Mark. I still heart him.
Sweet bucket list. And YUM-MY to Alexander Skaarsgard.
I am feeling inspired! Maybe I’ll come up with my own bucket list over at my page to remind myself there is more to life than dirty diapers and sleepless nights! lol
I love a good list…and if it will help you remember a little about the things you want out of life, I say go for it…I’m sure I’ll be adding to this list (hence the part I), and I’m sure I won’t do most of it but I enjoyed writing it. Not my most in depth, or time consuming post, but kinda fun nonetheless. Can’t wait to read your list!
#5: Yes! I’ll go with you to the haunted B&B in Bethany.
#10: Not in a million years…WTF is wrong with you?
Amy, I really do want to stay in a haunted location…I just need a blessing first. LOL
And #10 is more if I find out I’m dying soon anyway. And even then it’s a BIG maybe.
Listen, I probably will never arrive in an egg or travel by jet pack either….but it’s fun to think I COULD if I wanted
Cool, a bucket list. This is an excellent idea for a post. Your bucket list is funny and interesting at the same time. You have some good ones. Good luck accomplishing your goals!

With any luck, I’ll have a while to complete it…I’m lucky to make time for a haircut let alone diving with sharks
We were stationed in Georgia a few years ago and went to Savannah a few times.They have “Ghost Tours” where you can ride around in a hearse or walk around the downtown area at night and go to historic haunted places. They also have a lot of hotels that have recorded paranormal activity – it’s really cool.
I’d love to visit Savannah period! The ghost tours sound awesome though too….I actually participated in something similar in Harper’s Ferry, WV before. I was terrified.
I’m a HUGE paranormal tv show junkie….probably because I’ve had stuff happen to me throughout my life, but I’d love to get the courage to stay in a haunted hotel or something….I’m just afraid something would follow me home. lol
Awesome! I love bucket lists and yours is great. Unfortunately, I become oddly intimidated at the idea of making my own.
I think they’re fun…thought about doing it a few times….I know I’ll be adding to this, and I know I won’t do some of them, but it’s funny to think I might fly in a jet pack…or arrive in an egg. Give it a try, Lucy! It’s fun!
I can help you with the “shoot a gun” part.. Pick your poison, I pry have it. you want a little pop with a little kick.. or a big explosion that rattles the trees and kicks you on your ass? Either way, I have your toy! Come on out!
Sweet! I think if I’m gonna go for it, I should probably really go for it. Got any cannons in that castle?
You can totally meet one of the NKOTB now that they’re back on tour! Backstage passes
I’d love it if you’d follow my blog: http://annelyndesigns.blogspot.com
Thanks,

I heard they were back on tour….this could be my last chance…might have to look into it!
And, great blog…I signed up as a follower!
Ok.. Can get no. 7 off your list… My hubby is not only a police officer he is a fire arms instructor! Get your hubby to watch the kids for an hour or so and we can head down to the shooting range.. 4 miles away!
Deanna if I get the guts to shoot a gun, you’ll be the gal to call! I’m terrified yet I really, really want to try it out….All this help and I’m going to need a new Bucket List….now if I can get my hands on an egg, jet pack and shark cage I’ll be making some real progress on this list!
