My Non-Bucket List Update...Maybe It Was a Little Misguided...

Okay, so I was going through old posts and found my non-bucket list blog. It's been a while since I wrote that list, so let's take stock of how little I have accomplished!

I have not shot a gun, gotten a tattoo, or been to Europe. Upon further thought, I don't WANT a tattoo, or to shoot a gun. Europe might be cool. So would being able to fly without causing some sort of incident over international waters, so that will have to wait until my fear of flying is dealt with. I occasionally hear stories of women having panic attacks and how they end up getting "tazed" because they won't sit still or something. I refuse to be that person on the news.

I have mastered the smokey eye makeup look. However, I am the mom of a 5 year-old, so there is no need for smokey eye makeup EVER. Unless I suddenly dig the "inappropriate mom at the playground" look. You've all seen them. I wish not to be them, either. As for looking like Betty Draper from the neck up, I cut my hair short and put it in rollers. My ex-boyfriend told me I looked like Annie. As in, "The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow." Whatever, it's still cute and my hubby loves it, so...WINNING. One thing crossed off the list....

Rock climbing wall? Meh, maybe. Take Phill to see the Great wall of China? Skip it, he complains at Mexican restaurants, I don't need to starve him in a foreign country because they don't sell "Cosmic Brownies" there.

As for "losing a shit-ton of weight"? It has morphed into "wear anything but jeans so the waistband doesnt dig into your tummy and make you remember how fat you are every time you sit." So, that's sort of a win, right?

All in all, I need a new list. This seemed poorly thought out after looking at it months later. Or maybe I don't need a list at all. Sure, there are things I still want to do. But it's more of the experience than the check mark. Now, I am off to change into some nice "not-jeans" leggings and bring my daughter to school with the "no makeup" eye look...
