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;-).
Cheri and Natalie - Winter 2011
  • Go to South Africa and go on safari
  • Live in Italy for a month
  • Take a cruise on the Mediterranean
  • Always spell vacuum correctly;-)
  • Go to Austin, TX
  • See the Olympic National Forest
  • Perfect my chocolate chip cookie recipe
  • See the beaches of Normandy
  • Visit the battlefield at Gettysburg
  • Go to an Olympic event
  • Stay in an ice castle/ hotel
  • See Coldplay in concert
  • Explore Boston
  • Damien Rice - Fall 2009
  • See a game in every MLB park
  • Take more staycations
  • Go to the Super Bowl
  • See the Kentucky Derby
  • Road trip in the Midwest/ southwest
  • Watch all the movies I own and then purge them;-)
  • See Damien Rice in concert every opportunity I get
  • Read at least 1 classic novel a year (maybe something less depressing than Wuthering Heights)
  • Go to Nome for the iditorod
  • Visit the Statue of Liberty and go to the top of the Empire State building
  • Find a speakeasy in every major US city I visit
  • See live jazz in Memphis, Chicago (again), and New Orleans
  • Learn to golf (thanks to my Jacq for the start!)
  • Play a full 18- holes on my own
  • Go to Jordan
  • Waste less food - this is actually my 2012 resolution, preferably it would be waste no food but that may be a little unrealistic when last minute travel plans come in to place
  • 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?;-)
