I have all of these things that I want to do. Big thing. Little things. Things that, quite honestly, I’ll never get to unless I make an active effort to do them.
Hence my bucket list! I’m going to keep my dreams here, adding new ones and crossing off the ones that I accomplish. I think it will be fantastic!
MY BUCKET LIST
Cage dive with Great Whites
Perform 1,000 hours of service
Go to Jamaica
Make a trifle
Sell a novel
Go to a horror movie by myself
Make dresses for my girls
Get my MFA
Be a movie extra
Take a sewing class (in progress!)
Win the Bram Stoker Award
Put out my first book
Dye my hair black
Win the Nebula
See the Northern Lights
Learn to Scuba Dive
Attend Clarion West
Take a picture from the top of the Eiffel Tower
Wait a minute. I thought thoroughly humiliating me would be somewhere on that list. Disappointed!
By the way. I’ve been a movie extra. Not in anything big budget and not in anything I’ll every admit to, but I did it.
And I’ve never been a horror movie by myself. Go You!
That was an excellent post today. Great writing style.
Thanks so much for sharing it. I really enjoyed reading it very much. You have a wonderful day!

Mercedes, I totally love your bucket list. I am also happy for you to have crossed some of these things off. That is always exciting. I have actually done a few things on your bucket list. The most exciting one was that I have seen the Northern Lights. Sometimes under really unusual meteorological conditions they can be seen as far south as Arkansas. One night I was taking my son to deer camp and all of the sudden without warning or expectation, there they were, the Northern Lights and they were awesome. Way better than the pictures can ever depict them. I hope that you do get to see them some day. It is a trip.
Hugs,
Ardee-ann
