Before I Die

I was asked to write a Before-I-Die List so I thought I'd post it since I prefer typing anyway. Yes, yay. For me, at least. No, it's not realistic. What's the point of realistic goals? These are things we want to do, not things we're going to do. It's fun, really.

1) Become fluent in Latin, Gaelic, and French. (So not likely.)
2) Become a mother. (Even less likely.)
3) See my Celtic homelands. (Eh, maybe.)
4) Conquer the art of walking in high heels.
5) Lose enough weight to make me not gag in front of a floorlength mirror. (What? I can dream.)
6) Have a job that pays enough to let me pay the bills, keep the kitchen half-filled, and leave enough left to buy little spoil-them gifts for my godchildren.
7) Publish a novel. (Still dreaming)
8) Give one spectacular piece of advice. (It could happen.)
9) Be remembered for good reason.
10) Successfully cook a perfect Thanksgiving turkey.
11) Dedicate a room in my house to my own personal library. (Ok, this is rather likely.)
12) Finish all the novels I've started, if only for myself.
13) Get my degree.
14) Teach British Lit and Creative Writing.
15) Come back and live in my hometown.
16) Visit Disneyworld.
17) Have a pet turtle, two parakeets, several dogs and cats, and an aquarium of fish.
18) Have one peaceful day.
19) Go to a Journey Concert.
20) Go to the SuperBowl.
