Bucket List

by Donna on November 9, 2009

We all have dreams and goals…and every book you read says to put it on paper to make them a reality.

Here it goes…my Bucket List – things I want to do before I die.  You’ll notice a lot of them involve traveling…which is somewhat dependent upon #2! 

What’s on your list? 

Leave me some comments…who knows, I might need to add a few!  ;)

 

These are listed in no particular order.

1.  Start a blog (Fall 2009)

2.  Win the lottery

6.  Fly a plane – it was only for about 4 seconds, but it was still pretty cool!  (Summer 2008)
