Today (or yesterday, by the time you read this) was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. So I thought I’d take another look at my lists.
I made one list in high school and another early on in college – naming all the things I’d like to do someday. You know, before I die. Or get old. Or something.
Instead of dwelling on what I haven’t accomplished, today I’m going to tell you which things on my list I have crossed off. Here goes.
- Yoga
- Swing dance
- Learn to drive a stick shift
- Visit a spa
- Go to a cocktail party
- Be on TV
- Ride in a limo
- Waitress (really? This was a goal of mine?)
- Teach a class
- Make my own webpage (Wow, I was so advanced. Or a geek. You pick.)
- Raise money for charity
- Donate to charity
- Start a second career
- Do karaoke
- Own leather furniture
- Keep in touch with good friends
- Have a garage sale (Did it. Didn’t like it. Probably won’t do it again.)
- Have a dinner party
- Sing at a wedding
- Sing at a funeral (I was wrong. I didn’t really want to do this.)
- Stay in a mountain cabin. (Does a borrowed condo work?)
- Go to college (Obviously, from the high school list.)
- Go grocery shopping at midnight (Dear Super Walmart, I love you.)
- Road trip
- Dance at a bar
- Make a difference
What goals have you accomplished?
Ooh! fun! I think it’s funny that ‘own leather furniture’ was on your list!
I’ll have to think about my lists, since I don’t think I saved any of them.
So I did something “similiar” when I created my 101 Things in 1001 Days list. It’s more shorter term items I want to complete, but still items that I hope will make me a better person in the long run!
Really? Singing at a funeral? Well as the book “The Secret”…yes from the Oprah book list and incorporating that wonderful Opreligion…you really called that one to you. Maybe your goals should have been more positive. Or at least not sing at a funeral!!
Yep, I was really asking for it. I sang at Mark’s grandpa’s funeral. And as you might expect, it was awful.
I know, Amy. What can I say? I’m a material girl.
Brooke, I love that idea! 1001 days is such a better timeframe than “someday.”
um… i finished my taxes on time…
I always right on the top of my daily to do list “survive yet another day” that way I know I will probably get to check something off…
This reminds me of the movie Bucket List. That was good. I don’t have a list, but maybe I should make one.
Swing dance looks like so much fun and a great workout.
You were on TV??? Have you blogged about that?
About the dancing in a bar… just curious… were guys tucking dollar bills in your undies at the time?
Brenda! Of course not!! I was with a group of girlfriends for a bachelorette party! Geez. Now I’m all embarassed! :P
As for the TV bit, I’ve just been interviewed for non-profit events for work. Nothing too exciting, unfortunately!
