My "To Do" List

I think I'm too young to be writing a bucket list, and I don't plan on kicking anything anytime soon. Rather, this is more of a list of things I want to do or places I want to see and haven't gotten to yet;-).

• Learn to golf (thanks to my Jacq for the start!)
• Play a full 18- holes on my own

Speakeasy in Chicago

• See a play in London 
• Go back to Paris - see the Musee national Picasso, the Catacombs, more of the Louvre, and the Musee de Orsay
• Watch all the Godfather movies
• Use a whole chicken - including the carcass for making chicken stock. This may be the most difficult, I hate chicken skin, bones, veins, tendons, etc etc etc
• Have an herb garden
• Actually be in Munich for Oktoberfest
• Learn to speak another language
• Decide which language I want to learn:-)
• Go to Norway for my grandma and take hundreds of pictures for her
• Learn to like NYC
• Trace my family lineage - is my last name really German?!



Paris 2010

• Find 1 good thing about Houston - no one has been able to tell me one yet!

And when I've found that one good thing about Houston, my life should be over by then, right?;-)
