10 Things to Do Before I Die


Why are these always so hard? Maybe that's the point. To get us to think.
  1. Get married.

  2. Have babies.

  3. Travel to every state.

  4. Travel to every continent. Well, I could probably skip Antarctica.

  5. Own a dog again.

  6. Feel confident in this body of mine.

  7. Probably try my hand at a different career. Not sure what...

  8. Write at least one really good poem.

  9. Learn all the words to r.e.m.'s "It's the End of the World As We Know It."

  10. Retire.

Woohoo. I like that you want to travel to every continent. And i think you should keep antartica on your list. How many ppl can say that they have been there?

BTW, how appropriate your city is. i actually got the same thing, but was not expecting it since i said that the South was my fav!

if i were a city, i'd be los angeles. i'm suprised at that, i really don't like los angeles. what are the implications for the way i view myself? i've been having somewhat of an identity crisis lately, this isn't helping.

Going through old Ten on Tuesdays and #10 has special significance since a co-worker kept extending her retirement date. She extended it for the third year in a row to 2008 when she would be 65. Well, she was forced to retire last week on medical (cancer) and died the day after. She never attended her retirement party.

hey, would you like to see the nursery?

After a very productive week/weekend, the nursery is just about done. I think the only thing I want to do is whip up a simple padded headboard and Hubby needs to trim down the legs on a little footstool. That's it! Finally! So without further ado... This is what you see when you walk in the door. Too bad the baby won't be able to appreciate it right away. (And I'll apologize right off the bat for having some wonky-colored photographs in this post. I just don't have the energy to fix things. At least on my monitor, the above pic is roughly true-to-life.) Would you like to see that awesome rug a little better? Man, I love it. It was the one splurge for the room but it has such great colors, fun animals and designs, and is round. All my criteria were met. Love. Here's the corner with the crib. I wanted a clean, simple, modern, white crib. I hate to admit it but we ordered it from Wal-Mart. Hey, at least we didn't have to enter an actual store to get it. It was ine...
