My friend Kathy made a post about her bucket list and used this as a template of things that she would like to do. I have always loved the idea of a bucket list and maybe this will inspire me to sit down and write out some of the things that I still want to do. I like this list because it includes some really simple things, some that I have done and some I want to do. Maybe I will write a future post about my personal bucket list ... for now, here is this one.

I liked reading that! We have a lot of common interests! We need to travel together! BTW I am pretty sure you don't take care of homeless people at the hospital!! :) Love ya
Thanks, I changed it ... I totally thought that I erased that. :-)
You have led a very exciting and fulfilling life already and you are still SO young!
About the beverage coming out the nose...it does happen and it hurts!!! I can't remember when, but I know I've laughed so hard that my drink came out my nose. I don't recommend it!
Beverage through your nose is so not a myth. I have done it much more often than I would have liked to. (It stings)

Very cool! Maybe I'll write one! Oh, and the beverage through the nose is totally not a myth. Happened to me, with Sprite I might add. It seriously burned! :0)
Miss ya!
You will just have to come out to West Coast to see the Whales.
Hope you saw the movie The Bucket List. It was a hoot!!
Was swimming with the manatees in there? That was amazing.
