So DH and I were talking last week about things we would like to do before we die...aka our bucket lists. So it started me thinking about it because honestly I have never given it any thought and I thought I would ask you all what might be on your lists. Besides have have kids and grandkids just a couple of my fun ones are:
1. Go to Napa Valley
2. Sit in Green monster seats at Fenway park (HUGE red sox fan)
3. Hot air balloon ride
4. Go to Australia
5. Go to every state in the US
6. Learn to ride a motorcycle
What are some of yours???

Re: Whats on your list????
Hey I just started a last last week, too! Here's what I have on mine so far...it continues to grow all the time as I put more thought into it. I'm also thinking about putting things I have already done (like snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef, going parasailing, and visiting Rome) but would have been on my list had I made an official one earlier.

Be my own boss
Save someone's life
Get a motorcycle
Learn to sing and accompany myself on piano (OK, I know how to sing. I mean learn to play AND sing.)
I would love to live abroad - not permanently, just for a short time. There's a LOT that would be logistically involved, though...so it's not a "must do" sort of thing. Not at the level that the others are.
If I really sat down to think about it, I'd probably come up with better stuff, but off the top of my head:
1. Travel outside of the U.S. (Mexico and Canada don't count)
2. Visit all major metropolitan cities
3. Get married (not exciting for you gals, but I'm not yet there
)
4. Explore most major sexual kinks (aside from pee/poo play)
5. Complete mine & BF's Doin' It Tour--to have sex in all 50 states (has to be on a legitimate trip to that state, we're not allowed to hop a border just to cross one off)
6. Learn to use my GD sewing machine
7. Make it to the end of my life without ever being pg
8. Conquer anxeity
9. Retire early (*crossing fingers that BF's film co blows up and lets me be a SAHW*)
10. Stop worrying about money, completely
I am coming up w/ this quickly off the top of my head. Its sad that I don't even have time normally to truthfully think about this. Some of mine are:
1 - Sell our house.
2 - Finish my Bachelor's degree in 2 years.
3 - Go to grad school.
4 - Buy a new house in less than 5 years w/ no debt going into it.
5 - Be able to quit the job I've been at for over 10 years and do something related to my degree/study within one year.
6 - Go to Australia.
7 - Go to Italy.
8 - Be my own boss.
9 - Be a role model for someone.
I know there is a ton more I'm missing right now, but this will give me a good jumping off point. hehe
Off the top of my head and besides having kids...
1. Go to Austrailia
2. Go to Egypt and see the Pyramids
3. Figure out what my career goal is. (I have ideas I would just like to make up my mind.)
4. Learn to scuba dive. (I love snorkel so I think I would like to try scuba diving next)
5. Travel to all the states in the US.
That is all I can think of now but I know there are tons more I would like to have on my bucket list.
