My Anti-Bucket List

I recently revealed part of my bucket list.  Since then I've been thinking of things I haven't done and absolutely don't want to do...ever!  So I've come up with this "opposite of a bucket list" which I'm calling my anti-bucket list.  Not sure where I'm going with this but here we go.

Things I absolutely don't want to do...EVER:

1.  Sky diving
2.  Eat an oyster
3.  Cliff Diving
4.  Ultimate fighting
5.  Wrestle a bear
6.  Pick up a live snake  (I don't care how little it is or if it's not poisonous...a snake is a snake is a     snake)
7.  Run a marathon  (The only time I run is if the "Hot and Fresh Now" light is on at Krispy Kreme)
8.  Ride a camel
9.  Milk a goat
10.  Ride the Himalayan again at the fair (been there, done that, threw up)
11.  Introduce a bill in congress
12.  Take the S.A.T.
13.  Get a tattoo (unless it's a barbwire tattoo on my guns)
14.  Get something pierced (if God had wanted me to have holes there, He would have put them there in the first place)
15.  Disect a pig
16.  Be a contestant on Survivor
17.  Eat cauliflower or broccoli
18.  Ride 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fu Manchu
19.  Read "War and Peace"
20.  Calculate Pi to the last digit

If you have something to add, don't hesitate to suggest it.  Perhaps my next post will be more enlightening.  And remember...don't eat your popcorn during the previews - wait until the movie starts.

    I'm amazed that you made it through school without doing #12 or #15. Neither of these things were optional for me. And while I definitely did NOT enjoy #12, #15 wasn't as bad as I expected it to be.

    Also, broccoli and cauliflower are not terrible. ;-)

      I wasn't required to take the SAT, only the ACT. I dissected a frog but no pig. You have to realize I went to school in the 70's.
      And much to my mother's dismay, I never acquired a taste for broccoli and cauliflower. So I have stick by my guns all these years.

The Joys of Aging Gracefully          It's been 4 months since my last posting, but one of my New Year's resolutions has been to be more consistent in my blogging, since some of my Twitter followers have called on me to blog more.  I am flattered that there are 2 people out there who are actually interested in what is going on in this head of mine.      I turned 55 in December and am grateful that 55 is the new 45.  There are all kinds of challenges turning 55, from aching body parts to wandering around the Wal Mart parking lot trying to remember where I parked my car.  To not be able to remember simple things such as where I parked my car, or my department's copy machine code is an enigma to me.  Simple, everyday things I should remember are a challenge yet I have the uncanny ability to remember what I got for Christmas every year from first grade (1964) to senior year (1976).  I had the opportunity to share this knowle...
