Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

Bucket List? Hell Yeah!

August 11, 2022

I think I wrote here one time something like, “if I had a bucket list – but I don’t”. Well, since then I’ve actually got one! I realized that I had some dreams from way back and new dreams too and they could form an actual bucket list. Except Bucket List – I need to call it something different. Here’s what’s on it:
1. Going back to London, England and visit all the old places in the old neighborhoods and see how different things are after 50 years.
2. Becoming a DJ – yes, it’s something from my late teens/early 20’s I always thought I could do. Still do.
3. Going to the northeast US and do the leaf peeping thing in early autumn.
4. Going back to San Francisco and include the beach this time.
5. Moving away from the town and state I’ve been stuck in forever and make a new life for me somewhere else. That was THE PLAN when I graduated high school but other things happened and that dream was lost. With my nest emptying now it’s a good possibility.
6. Go to Pike’s Place Market in Seattle and catch a fish. And, of course, visit son #3 and his wife too.
7. Visiting Bend, Oregon
8. Going to every one of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s “Little Houses” in one trip in the summer or early fall.
9. Another trip that would be close to the above since Laura lived in Wisconsin, is to go back to my Dad’s home town for a visit.
10. Cooking out of Nigella Lawson’s cookbooks for a year which I decided to make a reality NOW. This is one of those things I’ve been talking about for YEARS and finally decided it was time. Mostly because I need to get out of the cooking rut I’m in.
So, nothing weird like milking a cow, but things that are very doable. Of course a few do depend on my getting on a plane but there’s time to get a pair for that.

So even though I failed my original dreams by not having a plan or money saved up blah, blah, blah, I can turn toward it now and start carving out a new life and new adventures.
