A good friend of mine recently added a blog about her 30 before 30 list - I don't have the luxury of time like her so this is my "I have to" list. It is not a matter of wanting to or wishing I could so this is my I have to list ( I need the motivation), unfornauetly my "have to's" are not random nor easy (hell if they were they'd be done by now! :>) so I am putting it out there to get help, ideas, motivation or hopefully friends who want to join me in completing some "have to's". Better yet how about a monthly "Check One Off" Event?!? I just totally thought of this, its amazing what sunshine, annoying bank customers and Mase will do for ya, but seriously I love this idea. Each month we can get together and mark off someone's "have to" and we can all be there together to help and watch that person do it. Of course picture are a must! Who's in with me?
Well to get back to what I wanted to post!

Holy Cow Batman! That's some list!
ReplyDeleteHere's my two cents... I think you should change at least two possibly three of your "owns" to "rents." Ie: 'rent a house boat.' Which they do in Louisianna so you could rent a house boat sometime in February and float on in for Mardi Gra!
The Titanic is sinking deeper... check out all the cool live video from the 'discovery of' to 'the return to' Titanic. http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/episode/return-to-titanic-1113#tab-Videos/02058_00
Check out the Magic Bullets, they're the rad-ist non-big band in the world! My favorite song: Yesterdays Seen Better Days.

I have a yoga dvd you can borrow.
Shooting guns is for the birds!
I like to run... I will run with you and make you laugh... hence, bring the fun. :)
On S Main in Old Town Grapevine they have a glass blowing shop that gives classes.

Me and my boys have a bad ass Hot Wheels collection. ;)
They "RENT" houses complete with lofts in New Mexico... and you can learn to ski on the lovely mountain of Ski Apache. See girl, all you need to do is intermingle as many of these as possible so it doesn't take you 300 yrs!
You should go to Navarre Beach in FL... best little island in the world! It's only about a mile long with 6 or 7 condos.
Come to my craft show at Will Rogers April 25th... and "Collect treasures from shops"
I saw a psychic once. She told me I was happy. lol
Great list chica. Let me know when and where!
Oooops... glass blowing link:

Hey girl, I would like to volunteer to help w/ the gun shooting and the tat! Give me a Saturday or Sunday, just the two of us an I will let you shoot any of my guns out at the range, it really is fun, you ride around in a golf cart, it's just so nice.
ReplyDeleteYou know I'm always in for a visit to the tat shop, been waiting for you to pull the trigger on that one (haha, get it).
If you come to the Keys I can tell you all of the best places to go! :) I have a sort of life-list in addition to my 28 things for 28 list that I am realizing about 5 I won't be able to accomplish. Oh well...there's another year!
ReplyDeleteWow Sara that was a heck of a comment back! Thanks for all the great ideas and I will definitely take ya'll up on the offers. When and where Britt?
ReplyDeleteOkay! Wow! Justin has a gun you can shoot if you want to. Then you can brag that you shot a cop's gun. You have even more traveling than me to do! Good luck with all of it and I am totally down with trying yoga with you we need to find a central location with child care :)
