As I said, this is one of my items on my bucket list. I believe that every individual on earth should have a bucket list and do crazy things. I mean we all know the phrase YOLO, right? Well, I want to be that girl, or woman because that is what I am, a grown woman who now has a blog, who goes out of her comfort zone to live a life of no regrets. Okay so maybe I will regret some of the things I do on my bucket list, but at least I won't regret that I never tried something for fear of what others would think.
But anywho, back to the topic! A bucket list. I know you're wondering what items I have on my bucket list and what crazy things I've done. At least I hope so because I'm trying to build suspense here. Don't worry! I'll tell you and maybe you, if anyone ever reads this, will be inspired to create your own.
So far my bucket list consists of these ten things:
1) Read the entire Bible - And yes, it is sad that I haven't done this, but I'm working on it! I've learned that it's more important to read and understand that to simply read to finish.
2) Sing in a black choir - I admit that I'm probably the whitest girl that ever walked on GOD's green earth, but I like to refer to myself as an inside-out oreo even if it is a complete lie.
3) Become fluent in Spanish - Easier said than done.
4) Go star gazing - I admit that I have a problem, maybe even an obsession for looking at the night sky. I will defintely be completing this one soon.
5) Swim in an ocean where I can see my feet (and know they're not about to be taken off by a shark)
6) Have a foot-popping kiss - If you've ever seen The Princess Diaries, you know exactly what I'm talking about! I mean there is nothing more romantic than raising your foot as your being kissed, right? Although with my luck, it would probably look as though I'm having a leg spasm.
The last four I've actually accomplished and I don't really know why I'm about to post this on the internet, but hey, I'm just going to be real and own up to what I've done.
7) Go coning - So if you don't know what this is, let me explain. Coning involves going through a fast food restaurant (like McDonald's) and ordering a vanilla ice cream cone. Then when you pull up to the window to retrieve you're delicious treat, you grab the ice cream and drive off, leaving the unsuspecting drive-thru worker in shock as they hold the now ice-creamless cone in their hand. It sounds dumb, but it is hilarious!
8) Get a tattoo of a boy's name - I did this one at church camp, but don't have a cow! It was a henna and it lasted about 3 weeks. One of the most spontaneous things I've ever done. Shout out to the one and only Wesley Parnelle.
9) Go skinny dipping - This has by far been the craziest thing I've ever done. It was at a friend's pool in the dark at 3 in the morning. We were the only ones there. And me, being the graceful person I am, dropped my towel in the water and left a huge track of water in her house from the back door to the bathroom where my clothes awaited my skinny dipping self. It was such a rush. I do apologize however for not having a picture of this one to include in the blog. I know. You're in tears right now. Just kidding! Trust me. If I had taken a picture (which would NEVER happen) and posted it, you WOULD be in tears. I'm crying now. No. But really it was great. Will I do it again? Probably not, but I'm glad I did.
10) Create a blog - You, my fellow blog reader, are seeing this one in action!
Well, I hope I haven't bored you into never reading again in your life. I think I bored myself. I guess this is the end of my first blog entry. Hope you enjoyed it and are already thinking of the wonderful possiblities your own bucket list can include!
I love that your bucket list starts with reading God's word and understanding His meaning within! He must surely have great things planned for you!
