Almost everyone has a Bucket List. I have decided to write mine out,except a little more extreme.....This is not pronounced like the island in Thailand. I choose to pronounce exactly as you would think. I use this spelling to be a touch more "sensitive" to those who cringe at the "F" word, but I choose this title because thats me!
I only use the actual word once, sorry folks! Turn away now if you must.

Tell me why I can picture you doin some of these things. LOL. Like chasing a tornado or teaching them to bird call with a blade of grass. HAHAHA, OMG!!! LOL...Well you can scratch off the make some one laugh once a week. Cause I probably laugh "at you" daily. I can't help it, when I mention your name or you cross my mind I start giggling....Love ya!!!
HAHAHA HECK YES and you will see me do them, I will take your camera! Girl you know I really can call a bird with a blade of grass, in Idaho you have to be one with nature....or just do things that annoy your parents while camping-guess thats all kids in all places huh?! LOL :-) OH so sweet, I smile knowing you laugh at me, your the best Santana!
Wow what a great list!! I don't think I have anything near cool as those things to do... but there are some things you could cross off...like:
1. You being assertive...you are when you need to be. So another one down.
2. You make a ton of people laugh once a week..more like all week!
3. I think if you call MTV's Made..you could ask them to make you into one of the best snowboarders out there and wala another one off your list!
Count me in on the digging for diamonds and watching Gone with the Wind. I've only seen the end of Gone with the Wind so should I even try? LOL! Oh yeah and you can teach me to bird call with a blade of grass! LOL !!!!
Damn! You actually thought of 100 things for your list (although item six seems a bit extraneous). To be honest, I don't really have a bucket list but I think it's cool that you have so many ambitions. I really think that you should focus on getting published somehow. You're good at it and it if successful, it could help to fund some things on this list (residual income can be a handy thing, you know). Oh well it's 2 minutes to midnight (and the end of my 38th birthday). Good night!
Love this!! There are so many on your list that I want to do with you, especially to see a Giraffe in the wild.
haha - just heard there is a study going on that you can howl at the moon!! There are special training classes and then they send out you on a night in the forest. You have to howl at the mood all night to get responses from real wolves!! Now that is something to add to your list. How interesting would that be..."Yes, my name is Colleen. Oh I've howled at the moon. It was a great experience!Many wolves returned my howls" - hahahahahahahahhaa!!
hahaha YEP I thought of 100 things, actually I could think of 200 more, so much I want to do!! Kim feel free to come along when I go to Africa,Im sure I will need help! And Koren I am so signing up tp Howl at the moon for a purpose rather than just being drunk :) hahahahah
Oh my goodness! What a list...and you know you can totally accomplish them...you can doooo it! Seriously Mandy and you should be friends...especially since she was wanting to join a bowling league as well a few years back! And ok...so you will have to fill me in on the diamonds you will find in SoDak?! I had no idea some true Sodakian I am...lol.
My bad Bre, it is in Arkansas.Guess I dont know much about Sodak :)
