So I was tagged in this note on facebook by one of my friends and it inspired me to write my own "Bucket List" of things I have yet to do but would like to do sometime. I've been wanting to do it since I saw the movie...which I loved!....and now seems like the perfect time.


The Bucket List. Place an 'X' by all the things you've done and remove the 'X' from the ones you have not. At the bottom of the list, add something you've done that's not already on the list. NO EXPLANATIONS! If someone asks you about something, then fine - explain away.
