My Bucket List

There are many things I want to do in life, things I want to experience and things I want to learn. Places I want to travel to and things I want to accomplish, like painting a room completely (I’ve only ever painted to just short of the ceiling, letting my brother do the rest!). Of course I’d like to do all of them immediately since I have no patience, but I will have to patiently work my way through them. Unless I win the lottery. Or someone wants to pay for me to do all of these and then blog about them. ;)
