Bucket List

2010 didn't go exactly like I had planned...hum.
The only new year's resolution that I even attempted to do was to learn to speak French.  Off and on while traveling in the car I listened to French CDs.  I'm still doing this...so I hope to continue to learn as I go.

I wanted to Belly Dance and play the piano as well.  Not sure I will ever belly dance, but the piano might be a go.  One out of three 'aint bad'!

On the serious side, I got to see first hand how good intentions sometimes get sidetracked by life's surprises that weren't expected.  Like cancer rearing it's ugly head.

I'm thankful to be alive.  Like given a second chance to do some things different.

Have I?  Working on this.

This year I hope to take some weight off.  So I decided NO ROOT BEER till my July Birthday.
More salads and less breads.
More motion and less complaining.

The FUN new year's resolutions will be.......spend more money...  grins..........on thrifty buys!!!  My husband will be glad to read that one.

Also I want to get the Family Room completed.  No fears here.  Just do it.

With the year I had, I thought I really should make a BUCKET LIST.  Over Christmas Holiday I watched the movie.  I've seen it before, but wanted to watch it again.  So we did.  I actually liked this movie.

My Bucket List is subject to change.  Besides, I don't think there are any deadlines.  So with that said here's my Bucket List!  Not in any order.

Please feel free to laugh out loud or ignore.  Do you have a Bucket List?  I do now!

Think I'm Going To Make A Bucket List

We have had alot of fun shopping and after my Sis packed all her new treasures...she pulled a leg muscle loading the car. She's going to spend a few days with our folks before she returns to Iowa. I am so glad my Sis came to visit...thank you, Sister...I luv u. She helped me with babysitting lil miss. I wasn't to lift, push, pull, strain for at least ten days after surgery. My Husband has been extremely sweet to me during this time...Honey, I luv u.

We picked up a sweetened McDonald's Tea before meeting our Mom over at the Manhattan Mall around 10 this Thursday morning.

I have the sweats and have to sit down to cool off. Praying that after round two of surgery, my body will be better regulated, will gain strength and be on the mend.

We had Lunch and did a small amount of looking around in the Mall then drove to my favorite Thrift Store. I sat. I sat. I sat. I look around from the chair and spied some goodies. I sat. I sat. I sat. I stood. I sat. I checked out and sat in the car with the cooler on. With the cooler air blowing on me I started feeling better.

By this time it was TREAT OURSELVES TO ANOTHER SWEETENED TEA IN THIS 95 degree WEATHER WITH HIGH HUMIDITY. Twas soooo hot that the tea went down with ease. GULP. I have been a iced tea drinker for years...but skipped the sugar. What has gotten into me? The sweet tea was delicious.

Next week I will again be eating more veggies as I know I must. Still not drinking coffee. I thought it best to eat some carbs while I recover from surgery and prepare to have another surgery in September. AND hopefully get some cleaning done so the haven is absent from dust bunnies for awhile. Harvest time isn't far away and I start thinking about sweaters. I have bought two light grey ones so far. I started cleaning my closet and drawers out. Think I will make a Bucket List!!!

Dear LORD,

Please bless my blogging friends and be real to them.

In Jesus Name I pray,

Amen

May you have a sweet life,
