I promise, no details on burps or farts in this edition....

Today I will share a short list...of about...I dunno....thirteen items I want to do before I kick the bucket. Or if that is too morbid, let's look at it as a life-long to-do list. :D

1) I want to witness a natural birth. Whether is it a litter of kittens, puppies, or a human child, I'd really like to see it. Having the mirror positioned so I can see myself doing it doesn't count. I want to see someone else doing it....which doesn't hurt as much.

2) I want to travel the world. I want to see Europe, Easter Island, Australia, Hawaii, I want to go on a safari in Africa, I want to see Venice and go on cruises to the tropics. I want to see the Northern Lights in Canada, I want to see the whales in Alaska. I want to see it all.

3) I want to make a difference in someone's life by giving them a priceless gift. Currently, I think that I would like to carry my close friend's child if she is unable to. That would make me really happy to give her something like that.

4) I want to have a job I like, no matter the pay.

5) I'd like to do the Susan G. Komen 3 day run for breast cancer some day.

6) I want to live without debt. Meaning....cars, house, credit cards...ALL PAID OFF!

7) I want to live in a house that looks put together. Right now, our home is more an eclectic mish-mash of things that don't always go together. We were poor and bought what we could afford without much attention being paid to future decorating schemes.

8) I want to see my husband walk my daughter down the isle on her wedding day. I don't often think of ways to live vicariously through my children, but my dad wasn't around for me growing up and didn't walk me down the isle. For Olivia, I really want that.

9) I want to feel more in touch with my children.

10) I want to feel comfortable to explore fantasies with my husband, not just the sexy type either. ;P

11) I want to learn to be a better person, a better friend, daughter, wife and mother, improving myself in anyway I can to be a more positive and loving person in people's lives.

12) I want to plant a vegetable garden and live off my crop all summer. I don't want to have to buy anything from the produce department for months!

13) I would love to live somewhere that would make us able to take in animals that no one wanted. I see so many CL postings for horses, goats, sheep, chickens, donkeys, etc. that no one wants. I would really enjoy having a place where I could take in these animals, care for them and show them love and kindness for the rest of their days.

So, there's my list! What's on your life-long to-do list??
