Since I am the biggest list maker I have ever encountered, I thought it would be fun to have a living "to do" list of sorts. I don't really have 100 things to start with but will be adding onto this list as I think of them. If and when I actually do some of these things I will cross them out like so and put a date beside them and possibly link it if I have blogged about it, which hopefully I will have.
This is the list of things I want to do before I die:
1. Swim with dolphins 8/2004
2. Go rappelling
3. Go on a hot air balloon ride
4. Finish a Sunday crossword puzzle
5. Learn to knit
6. Learn to speak a foreign language
7. Spend New Years Eve in Times Square
8. Make soap
9. Write a book
10. Be a member of a TV audience
11. Paint a painting
12. See the northern lights
13. Ride a gondola in Venice 9/2004
14. Go to Mardi Gras
15. Send a message in a bottle
16. Have season tickets for a sporting event
17. Visit area 51
18. Take an Alaskan cruise
19. Scuba-dive somewhere tropical 8/2004
20. Finally teach the cats to use the kitty door we had installed especially for them
21. Sleep under the stars
22. Use a pottery wheel (ala Demi Moore in Ghost)
23. Get the highest rated feedback star on Ebay
24. Grow my hair well past shoulder-length
25. Go on a wine tasting tour on the West Coast
26. See the Eiffel Tower
27. Spend the night in a castle
28. Be an extra in a film
29. Ride the Orient Express
30. Play a round of golf
31. Learn how to sail
32. See a whale in the wild
33. Go white water rafting
34. Become debt free
35. See Sting in concert
36. Explore the Amazon rainforest
37. Spend a week in Costa Rica and see monkeys in the wild
38. Visit Australia
39. Have season tickets to the Dallas Summer Musicals
40. Watch the sunset in Hawaii with my children
41. See a space shuttle launch
42. Sit on a jury
43. Play high stakes black jack (where I get the money for this, I have no idea)
44. Clean off my desk
45. Figure out how to play chess
46. Snowski in Canada
47. Become a famous blogger and be listed on lots of other blogs and have lots and lots of comments
48. Run a marathon..even if it's a short one
49. Live to see my sons grown and have their own families
50. Die in the arms of someone who loves me
#24 is the easiest to do.
#50 is pretty damn cruel to the person who would be holding you, isn't it?

I should have known that the testosterone based readers would zone in on 24 the most.
Sigh...

No where on there did I see Bait a worm for your sons! But you can do about 60% of the others in Vegas, They got the Eiffel Tower and Venice Boats on the same block, and plenty of places in between to lose your money. And once you've done that you can lay on the Fake Beach at your Hotel and watch the Sunset. So you can basically live your Fantasy in one weekend, and you've still got lots of time to bait the hooks. Oh! Maybe you can practice Saturday at the Lake.

Mardi Gras is a great time. I never been to a place where that large of a crowd and not one bad experience. Everyone there was just out to have a good time.
Even girls who don't flash will have a great time. If you ever make it down look for us on the corner balcony of Dauphine and Bienville.

What a fabulous idea. I should dig out my last goals sheet and see how I did and make some new ones. How often do you read it to make them happen?

I have most of your wishes in my list, done some already.
Last week I got a free cd from Mike Litman, and I have listened every day, and you should do it to.
My goals are more real and close to me now. His site is greatnessheldhostage.com
Let me know.

I'd say #47 can be crossed off.
Also, a good one you didn't include on your list will also be crossed off very soon.
Scheduled night...
...but where! ;-)
