My Bucket List

This is my FaceBook post for today. I thought I'd post it here for those who don't FaceBook.

.
Before I go, I'd like to have high cheekbones.

I'd like to talk less like New Jersey, and more like Claire Bloom.

And whenever I enter a room, I'd like an orchestra to burst into my theme song.

I'd like to have a theme song before I go.


Before I go, I'd like to tap dance.

I'd like to play seven-card stud like a pro, not like a dunce.

And I'd like Robert Redford, just once, to slide his fingers down my back
from my neck to my waistline.

I'd like to have a waistline before I go.


Before I go, I'd like to win the door prize.

I'd like to be thought of as valiant and brilliant and thin.

And I'd like, when offered a choice between duty and sin, to not
immediately choose duty.

I'd like a couple of offers before I go.


Before I go, I'd like to make things better.

I'd like to be told I've been more of a joy than a pain.

And I'd like those I love to know that they are the ones,
if I could do it again, I'd do it with.

I'd like to do it again before I go.

    I would have loved
    Patrick Swayze's hand on my back and leading me in a dirty dance that would put NED to shame.

    Sorry about Robert Redford
    I can't help with him but I do know you to be valiant and brilliant and I promise to think of you as thin.

    Colleen...that is so sweet!
    Colleen...that is so sweet! I guess I can live without Robert Redford, as long as everyone here loves me.

    LOVED IT!!!!!!
    I Really do
    LOVED IT!!!!!!

    I Really do have a bucket list. I'm sure I'm not the only one? I have already started marking things off.

    I lived long enough to see my First grand child born.
    Her name is Makenzie. I love her so much I can't even tell you. BUT now that I've met her, I had to add a whole buch of things to my list. :) Now i want to live long enough for her to remember me. NED better be the faithful kind. he needs to stay around for a long time. :) OH!!!! and....i also want to go scuba diving in a cage in the water with Great whites. call me crazy, but i want to do that soooo bad. :)

    You can check some off already:
    valiant and brilliant and thin - check.
    make things better- check
    high cheekbones - check

    I might add:
    Make people laugh - check.

    Robert Redford and sin kinda go together ;)

    I cross off a biggie on my Bucket List... it's my 5th year anniversary of my diagnosis. Odds were definitely against me, but I'm here posting away!
