So in November, while in the midst of utter job hatred and GRE studying, I posted the following list of obscure thing to do when I regained my life. But as H pointed out, I am enable of functioning without a busy life, it gives me purpose. So today/tonight we revisit the list to see how I’m doing.
- Learn how to shoot (random, I know)
- Take culinary classes, preferably basic knife skills and/or fine pastries
- See people I haven’t seen in months (ahem, B)
- Write a children’s story
- Read for fun: novels, short stories, foodie books, etc
- Fall for a boy…openly and without shame (I wouldn’t use the word fall…let’s go with, intrigued by)
- Have a regular gym schedule (hahaha…never happening…let’s just pull that one off the list forever)
- Purge the junk from my life (i.e. clean out my closets, yes, closets plural)
- Do something I’m passionate about, otherwise known as Dance…lots and lots of Dance *could always be more of this.
- Bake more, give away more
- Go on one or two day road trips
- See musicals/plays/ballets
- Figure out how to be a pirate spokesman
- Learn how to make a truffle (not the mushroom, the chocolate)
- Write letters to one of the West Coast girls
- Clean my apartment *it’s a vicious never-ending cycle though
- Remember how to grocery shop and eat normal, nutritious meals
- Learn how to play the flute…they wouldn’t let me in 4th grade cause I had a mouthful of metal
- Visit my Life Partner in the frozen tundra.
- Spend more time on Craigslist…I hear rumor there are fun things to be found there *the Token friend sent what happens to be some of the best Craigslist ads ever, hysterical I tell you. Amazing.
However, now with more time and less angsty energy (thank God), I think it’s time to revise the list and somehow in the process of doing so, a bucket list is evolving. (In case this is unclear, I really love lists…especially the “why I’m single list.” Ask about it sometime, cause two words make that whole list: Veggie. Tales.) But without further ado…
What I really, really want to do when I grow-up:
- Take culinary classes, basic knife skills and/or fine pastries
- Write a children’s story
- Read for fun: novels, short stories, foodie books, etc
- Make a chocolate soufflé
- Have a regular gym schedule (a girl can dream she’ll one day change)
- Take a digital photograph course, Fall ’09
- Figure out what makes a taco in LA so much better then one in DC (as if that is hard to figure out, but I want to know how they make it so amazing in LA).
- Meet Alton Brown, if you don’t know who he is…for shame.
- Ballet. Lots and Lots of ballet
- Bake more, give away more
- Take a Road Trip
- Meet Deb from Smitten Kitchen
- See more concerts/musicals/plays/ballets
- Play the cello (this is a summer plan, and S is my faithful beginning teacher)
- Learn how to make a truffles, maybe take a chocolatier course
- See the Life Partner more often
- Make, Decorate and Stack a Wedding Cake
- Hug a penguin
This is the list I actually may work to accomplish. Starting, no joke, with the cello. It’s going to be a great summer.
Thank you!
Furthermore, I think my “why I’m single list” comprises of four words: Extensive. Pooh. Bear. Collection.
What an awesome idea. I should probably make a list…two weeks from now.
