Bucket list.

Last new year I set up my bucket list. A list of things that I wanted to do or achieve before I died. Not that I'm planning on dying anytime soon. Some things on the list were easy and some things I don't know if I will ever achieve but I will try.

So far I have 81 things on my list. I would love to make it an even 100,  but still trying to think of last 20 or so. In the year 2013 I managed to cross off  7 items from my original 81.  I wonder how many I cross off this year. Some are on going like read all the books on my book list. Well as my book list is 5 pages long it will take some time. Same with my watch all the movies on my movie list. That again is a long list and will take some time to finish. Probably doesn't help that I keep adding to both of these lists. Others involve trips around the country and around the world. I'll travel one day. Always wanted to travel and will get to it sometime. Been a dream of mine to travel. I just haven't been able to do so yet.

The items on my list that I managed to cross off were run a half marathon. I did this on September 14th. My time was 2 hours 19 minutes and 07 seconds. This is a little way off my ultimate time goal but I don't think to bad for my first half. And I only started running June 2012.

Another item crossed off the list was to crochet something to wear. Now I have been knitting fora. Few years and have made several items. I learned to crochet as well but for some reason I always had problems understanding crochet patterns. So I set myself the goal of following a pattern and making something to wear. I completed my first hat on September 24th. And haven't stopped making them since.

Being Wiccan I have a love for the earth and trying to grow plants and flowers. My problem is I don't have a green thumb at all. In the past whenever I have tried to grow something it always dies no matter how hard I try. Well with a little help from my very green fingered Mother in Law I managed to have a small vegetable patch over the summer.  It wasn't big but we had quite a good harvest. I planted some peas. A cherry tomato plant a big boy tomato plant and a bell pepper. The only pepper that I got fell off while I was out of town for a weekend over the summer. The peas where delicious. The big boy tomato plant gave a small harvest, but was drowned out by the cherry tomato plant. Which for some reason became the biggest tomato plant I had ever seen, and according to my Mother in Law the biggest she had ever seen. We got a ton of tomatoes off that one plant alone.

Some of the simple things on my bucket list are just to try different kinds of foods. One of them was eggs Benedict. Tried that liked them would eat them again.

I love food and I love great food so it's no surprise that I have want to eat at some of the worlds most famous chefs restaurants. I would love to eat at a Gordan Ramsay restaurant, a Jamie Oliver restaurant and a Bobby Flay restaurant. All of these are on my list. But I was lucky enough to eat at Bobby Flay's Meza Grill in Las Vegas.  The food was amazing. Totally have to go again. Also while on the same trip to Las Vegas I saw my first real music concert. I got to see The Who live in concert. Loved it one of the best days of my life. The whole experience was phenomenal.

Unfortunately this year with sickness in hours over all of the holiday season we were unable to go to the family thanksgiving meal. So this allowed me to cross off make an entire thanksgiving meal from scratch off my list.

So it leaves me wondering this year. What will I cross off this year???
