40 things (#21)

July 28, 2012 By: Heather

I do not religiously make lists.  I probably should, but for some reason, I seem to instead let the items on a so called list, float randomly in my head.  This isn’t very useful because inevitably I forget something…or many things.

So with 40 around the corner, I decided to do one of those lists that older people do – the bucket list.  In no particular order, I’ve made a list of 40 things I’d like to do, see, go, be, challenge myself on, etc. … you know the drill.

  1. Go to Tahiti
  2. Go to Fiji
  3. Go to Australia
  4. Paddle board in Maui
  5. Learn to surf (see a theme here?)
  6. Publish a book
  7. Become a professional speaker
  8. Learn to ride a motorcycle
  9. Go to an Olympics
  10. Take Noah to Atlantis in the Bahamas
  11. Take a sabbatical
  12. See the United States during a summer RV trip
  13. Write 40 letters of gratitude to 40 people after I turn 40
  14. Live in Hawaii
  15. Go on an Alaskan cruise
  16. Open a chic candy store
  17. Select and watch 40 Oscar winning movies
  18. Take a painting class
  19. Go to a Super Bowl
  20. Take a European vacation
  21. Tour a castle
  22. Take Noah to Legoland
  23. Rent a beach house in the outer banks of N.C. for a month
  24. Drive a convertible down the Pacific Coast Highway Northern California to Southern California
  25. Read 10 classic english literature books
  26. Get a Master’s degree
  27. Take ballroom dancing lessons
  28. Spend a Christmas in Aspen
  29. Learn how to ski on a real mountain
  30. Visit every National Park
  31. Learn how to shoot a bow an arrow…and get a bullseye
  32. Spend a Christmas in NYC
  33. Spend a Christmas in a tropical location
  34. Have a room in my house with a dance floor, great audio and a disco ball
  35. Learn to kick box
  36. Visit the seven wonders of the world
  37. Live in a home along the water
  38. Run a 5K
  39. Write a book with Noah
  40. Author a book on the NY Times Best Seller list

So there ya go.  My bucket list of 40 things.  Perhaps I’ll add to it as I think of new things.  In the mean time, now that I’ve made the list – I guess I need to start making these happen, right?
