Life List

Hi Readers (or reader as the case may be)!

I came across this tonight as I was cleaning up my computer and thought I'd share this with you. I was inspired by Ellen DeGeneres awhile back and started compiling a Life List - i.e. things I wanted to do before I ate it (also known as a Bucket List).

1. Learn to dance
2. Laugh at myself and mean it
3. run another 5k
4. maintain a healthy weight for more than six months
5. wear a bikini (see no 4)
6. wear a bikini in public (again, see no 4)
7. learn another language
8. do karaoke in public – not just in a private room – this may factor in number 2
above for me and earplugs for everyone else
9. go on vacation (away) by myself – sans laptop and blackberry
10. be my authentic self and not apologize for it
11. get my associates degree
12. go speed dating
13. eat more vegetables
14. speak in public
15. ask for help when I need it
16. admit when I’m hurt, sad, angry or upset – and not apologize for it
17. run a 10k
18. allow myself to be photographed, even when I don’t feel I look my best
19. use those darn re-useable shopping bags I keep on buying
20. recycle
21. smile more
22. audition for a reality TV show – although it would be so much easier if someone
submitted me for What Not To Wear
23. go back to England
24. try sake
25. say a firm no the lotion zealots at the mall and not fake a phone call to avoid
them
26. drink more water

So, I've done a few (think single digits and one hand). As a personal motivation to blog more, I'll write about the items on this list I've completed, and maybe some thoughts on the ones yet to be done.
