The Project


My "Project" has been this: Find the Bucket List I made a few years ago.

Wee back story: My dear bestie and I worked together a few years back and would have some of the most hilarious, interesting, and wonderful emails to each other that read more like comedy scrips or pen pal letters between long distance friends...

In one email forgetting now whose idea it was hers or mine, I excepted the challenge to create my Bucket List. Re Reading this I realize I am perhaps a little strange with almost unreasonable goals in life..

I have have changed some in my mental list, but kept this one the exact same as when I wrote it...
 Somethings have been removed in my minds list, and something have been added..
   I'd LOVE love love to have people either put their list in their post, or email me with their lists too! I may feature some of them :) Either top three or as you can see however many you want to list is fine by me !!!
