I have been forbidden to call it a "bucket list" because I am not allowed to talk as if I am dying (which I am not... dying that is) so I will call it My Life's To Do List.
Because NYC is one of the major things on my "To Do" list Drew suggested maybe I should share my list on my blog and as I accomplish them I can cross them out. He also said I need to explain why I want to do them, and tell a little bit about my experience accomplishing them. I can also add to it as I go.
Another friend of mine did this on her blog and I thought it was a great idea. I love having goals, and once you write a goal down (for me), I am one step closer to achieving it.
So here it is.
My Life's To Do list
Go to New York City
-Side goals for this include eat a hotdog from a street vendor, purchase something from a shady character down a back alley (and not be killed/mugged by said shady character)
-Buy a pair of shoes

I am grateful for all of the women I got to visit with. It was great to laugh and catch up with friends.
I am grateful for the beautiful sun and warmer weather. It was only -7, a significant improvement over -50.
I am grateful that I have finally mastered baking scones. Mr. Oliver would be pleased.

Hey Joelle. I feel really proud that I was able to accomplish something on your list with you. We'll have to see a U2 concert together. That is on my list too. Have a great time in New York.

I am so excited for your trip to NYC!! I know you will love it down there! It was also on my “bucket list” and it was a dream come true when I booked my trip! The song “Empire State of Mind” – Jay-Z & Alicia Keys says it all! The excitement, lights, adventure and the landmarks that you see on TV/Movie! I hope to go back one day!
hey Jo I can teach you how to sharpen knives with "that stick thing" lol, come on over!
