Bucket List

[never2amazing]

What are the top three things on your bucket list?

[ct]

1. Enjoy a long and happy marriage. Be able to look back and know that the bumps in the road were all worth it.

2. Be a hands-on grandmother. Cherish my grandbabies and be a support to my children as parents.

3. Travel. As much and as far as I can.

1. Travel, travel, travel.

2. Find a job that I really and truly enjoy. Something that makes me proud.

3. Be a great mom, and an (appropriately!) involved grandmother.

[never2amazing]

1. Go to Disneyworld

2. Get the basement completely finished with a full-size bath

3. Have a huge family Christmas in a rented house in Vermont

[seattlekari]

1. Find happily ever after with a woman I can share life with.

2. Travel. So many places I would like to see.

3. Raise E to be to be a respectful adult with a larger view of the world than I had.

When I'm laying on my deathbed, I want to look back and know that
1) I ENJOYED my life and didn't just live it,
2) I brought joy, comfort and laughter to Jen and our kids, and
3) I traveled and learned and tried new things until the end of my days.

On my actual "bucket list" which was started when I was 21 and is written in no particular order, the first three are
1) Learn to make cheese
2) Learn to make beer
3) Visit all 50 states (I'm up to 43 or something)

1. Hold my grandchildren, at least one. Both my parents died before ever meeting a grandchild. It makes me really anxious.

2. Learn to sew. My dad wouldn't allow me to take any sort of home economics class. I was in all AP. Now I am a stay at home mom and never uses a single bio/english/spanish/history fact but dreams of sewing curtains but has no idea how to work a sewing machine. I've tried. It's daunting, they go so fast!

3. Own a small 2 bedroom summer cottage on the beach and watch my babies play in the sand, sea, and sun.

ETA: fuck sewing curtains. I want to go to Thailand! What was I thinking? Sewing? I need to get out more.

Quinny - I can show you how go use a sewing machine

[rikkiandjulie]

1. Graduate College- Seems impossible!

2. Have a happy and successful marriage.

3. Travel!

4. Open my own coffee shop!

Quinny - ACTUALLY! I just remembered - that new JoAnn Fabrics that opened is going to have classes. Mom's Night/Morning/WheneverTheyAre Out??

[hensmum]

1. Take at least one loooong vacation abroad (live in another country for a summer or some such)

2. Publish poetry - even if it's just one poem in a lit mag

3. Create a job/career/worklife I'm proud of

[joyseattle]

1. Balance being a momma and wife with my professional and/or academic pursuits
2. Travel - ideally alternating domestically and internationally every other/third year
3. Continually do things that really push me outside of my comfort zone every year (examples include things such as riding on a helicopter and hot air balloon, improving my limited foreign language skills--specifically Spanish and French, but also Mandarin and/or Japanese once our kids start learning them, walking/running a 5k/10k+ race, completing DIY home projects, etc)

[Deleted]

1. Wanting to hold a grandchild. (that may never happen)
2. Live my life the way I want, not what everyone else thinks I need
3. Just being happy.

those are life bucket lists.

This is the fun one.

Swim with amy kind of wildlife, be it a whale, dolphin, or even a goldfish.. lol ( I am hoping to fulfill this year)

Travel to England to find about my family history

Learn to make pottery boring i know but it is something i have always admired, but could never master

[thiswillbe]

1. My #1 thing had to do with being less stressed and having a good marriage, but I am pleased to say I mentioned it to S and it might happen *this year*! ::fingerscrossed::

2. Travel overseas not for work. I'd really love to do a long, slow vacation in Italy.

3. Give birth vaginally. Okay, I know that in addition to that being totally TMI, it's not something I would ever have 100% control over, and sooooooo much would have to fall into place to even get to a place where that's a possibility, but oh well. We can have crazy, far-fetched wishes on our bucket lists, right?

I never make Bucket Lists, because then I feel like shit when I don't actually do them....

1. Take the kids to Disney and stay in a monorail resort (part of that will happen, part of that will only happen if we win the lottery!)

2. Stay in one of those over the water bungalows in Fiji/French Polynesia

3. Live long enough to see my kids grow up to be happy self sufficient adults (and if they make me a grandmother - even better.)

4. Own a camp on a lake in Maine where the kids could spend summers and grow fond memories. (once again...the lottery.)

5. Buy a new house with 3 (larger than we have now) bedrooms, but preferably 4 in a neighborhood with fun neighbors and good schools.
