Before I Die…

postit_die.jpg

Many bloggers that are fighting the battle have developed a “before I die” list. As I have a similar list, I thought it would be a good part of the ‘process’ to share it with you here. I have also discovered a commonality to lists like this as I have some of the same items on my list that I see on others.

So far, this list has only lived in my head. Before I die, I want to:

  • Get a tattoo.
  • Climb Mt. St. Helens.
  • Cycle Oregon.
  • Do the Century Ride of the Centuries.
  • Run the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.
  • Hike the Oregon portion of the Pacific Crest Trail.
  • Drive Coast-to-Coast in a convertible with my friend for life, Bryan.
  • Ride motorcycles with Jeff to the tip of South America.
  • Build my dream house.
  • Visit (in no particular order) Great Britain, Australia, Czech Republic, Romania, Greece, Israel, Egypt, Poland, Germany, Austria, Russia, and Italy.
  • Publish a book.
  • Visit all Seven Continents.
  • Go back to college and get right all I got wrong the first time.
  • See a baseball game at Wrigley Field (Chicago) and Fenway Park (Boston).
  • See a sunset from Key West.
  • Try Yoga.
  • See Machu Picchu, The Pyramids, and The Great Wall.
  • Learn to sail.
  • Scuba Dive the Barrier Reef.
  • See a Space Shuttle launch.

That’s it for now… the list is a living thing. Just like when I lose this weight and become more than a living thing. But a person who enjoys living.

    I can’t believe I’ve done over half of the things on your list… I need to get a life (and list) of my own.

    hrmmmmmm. :)

    I love that your first item is getting a tattoo. You go, girl. It took me six years to decide what design to get, and it’s been on my arm I’ve never looked back. Go, warrior girl!

    I’m not sure where I am going of the rails of communication, but I’m a guy.

    At least I was when I checked the plumbing in the shower this morning.

    As for the Tatt… I don’t think I will be settled on a design until the needle hits the skin.

    THis is awesome. I would like to go to see a yankee game. I could not go to boston. I am a boston Hater.

    But I’m a Yankee-Hater.

    But…

    Since this is the last year of “the stadium”, I’m feeling a bit like it should be on the list too, just because it is one of the OLD cathedrals of baseball.

    Yankee-hater here too, but tradition would compel me to go, stupidity to boo the pinstripes while I am there!
