50 BEFORE 50

Update on my BUCKET LIST
I still have 23 items left. So frustrating.
I have gave myself an extension, I can do that because....well....just cuz I can, so there.
 
Others have advised me to change some of the items. Well, I feel that is, cheating, making things easier. So I haven't.
I have a few very lofty, or some may say UNATTAINABLE... so what.  IT'S MY LIST. I am stubborn and I know that is where Paige gets it.  That is the first time admitting that out loud (or in print). So I guess that would be #52 Admitting that. UGH!
I have done more since I started this list, than I have in many years or maybe even ever. 
The physical stuff is where I slack. I am working on it.  Not sure who reads this, if anyone.  It says I have views, not too many,  but oh well, it is to keep me in check, mainly.
If you are thinking of doing your own list. DO IT! DON'T THINK.  Write it down, check it off. You don't have to write a blog, but it's fun.  I would find a blog you like and mimic it.  Mine is bare minimum simple AND FREE THANKS #BLOGGER.  I found JeepMomma's blog on Twitter just by doing a search for #50before50.

She has an awesome site. She does much more, than just the bucket list.

I got tired of thinking, "OH I wish I would have done....", "That looks like fun, but I would never...". Ummmm.... then finally reading enough times " you only get one life, LIVE IT!" No Regerts!!! lol I SPELLED IT WRONG ON PURPOSE THANKS. A co-worker suggested it...And here I am! Typing a blog, At 12:45am, on a Friday morning, when I have work tomorrow. AWWWSHIT!
