BucketList

Jackie visited a few weekends ago with one goal in mind: to get her first tattoo. After checking her "BucketList" she realized that she hadn't been chasing items on her list like she should. Her goals for the year: tattoo and skydiving. Unfortunately she wasn't able to get her tattoo (stupid tattoo shop was all booked up) but it made me realize I needed to give my BucketList another look. Anything to add? Edit? Cross off?

My SimpleBucketList: Go everywhere. See everything. Do everything.

But FFA taught me that goals need to be specific, measurable, and quantifiable and...um...I have a feeling my SimpleBucketList doesn't exactly follow those rules. So I created a MoreSpecificBucketList. It is PAGES long, and I'll spare you that, but I wanted to share a few things with you.

I've tried to remember both the big and small things in life when making my list. It's one of those things that is ever changing as I am always discovering new places to go, new things to see, and new things to do.

How about you? Do you have a BucketList? What is on it? Have you marked anything off lately?
