Things I Must Do In My Lifetime
-or-
The Living Big – a detailed account

(continued…)

26) Own a Mazda 3 hatchback with seat-warmers and a stick-shift.
27) Go to Italy. Bask.
28) Try lobster.
29) Run a half-marathon.
30) Throw a surprise party for someone awesome.
31) Actually read all of the books that I own.
32) Learn how to use Photoshop.
33) Master my hair-do, my wardrobe, and my eating habits.
34) Go wine-tasting in Napa with some good friends.
35) Grow flowers in a window box.
36) Take an art class.
37) Be in another musical. One where I get to sing and shuffle-ball-change.
38) Drive the length of the BC coast.
39) Go on an Alaskan cruise.
40) Own a house with a barn so I can have little baby animals.
41) Ride in a helicopter.
42) Go to a major awards show. I don’t care what kind or which one.
43) Tie a tie.
44) Start my own business.
45) Have a porch swing.
46) Make frosting flowers.
47) Kick the body image issue.
48) Own my own set of tools in a cute, convenient case.
49) Ride a camel. Or an elephant, I guess. I’d settle for a donkey.
50) Mow a lawn – but preferably a small one, in cool weather, in a beautiful location, with mountains surrounding me, and birds chirping.

    #50–mow a lawn. just made me tear up. out of all of your amazing goals…i tear up at that one. it was probably the serene moment you described. i want to go there. maybe while you mow the lawn, i can sit on the porch, reading a book in my bikini, lemonade in hand –and wave to you.

    As an OCD (or should I say strong J) person myself, I love lists and am loving yours! I am 25/50 so far on your goals… Good ones, keep em coming:) I make travel goals a lot, but not others, maybe I should attempt this? 100 things sounds like a lot!

    You seriously want to mow the lawn? I just remembered the countless hours I spent listening to Led Zeppelin tapes push-mowing my parents lawn…in my bikini top and shorts.
    By the way, you can ride (at least you used to be able to ride) elephants at the Nashville Zoo. I’d love to go again some time. Lemme know.
    Oh, and since it’s on Nolensville Road you can check off another thing you’ve been wanting to do.
