Well I thought that I would share with you guys that I am one step closer to completing another item on my bucket list....I once saw on a list "Marry a Stranger". Based on the fact that I have been married once and lost more than half of everything I owned, I figured that one might be a bit risky. However, thinking outside the box, yesterday I have enrolled to do an Advanced Diploma in Celebrancy. So hopefully, I too maybe able to "Marry a Stranger". Just hopefully it will to strangers that will be able to live happliy ever after. Just thought I would share and give you all a laugh. Desy Cares ... View more

I have made two bucket lists. One for stuff that is big and one for things that are small. Big ones included Vietnam - Spending time with a local family, Fiji spending time at a village, Laos spending time at the Elephant orphanage and this Christmas we (my 11yr old son and I) are going to Papua New Guinea (if Qantas isn't stricking). But the best ones are my little ones: Cooking from a receipe (which I never do) using very exotic herbs and spices. Who would have known that you cook curry without Keens Curry Powder??? Read a book for one hour every day no matter what. Pamper myself completely. Bath, Facial, Pedicure, Manicure, Blow Dry my hair and put on makeup - seems like a stupid thing, but had never done it all at once because who ever gets enough time to look after ourselves. Write a letter to each of my kids. I actually got a book for each of them, which is about You & Me, which I have to complete. It goes through lots of questions about your life with your kids and you write down all the things that you remember. So far I have done one for my partner of 3 yrs, but it is still on my bucket list to do one for each of my kids for Christmas. I included photos of a lot of the memories with Scott and when he read it, he was choked up the whole way through. I love my red wine, so I put it on my short term bucket list to give it up for a month (it was dry May for me, not dry July) and donated the money I saved. Was a tough month but I did it, which means I never have to do it again, hehehe! I even have a stupid little bucket list things like going for a hole day without say No. That is soooooo much harder than you think with four kids in the house. The best bit is you don't tell them what word your not going to say for the day. My 11yr old has worked it out when I am doing this for the day and then starts to ask me questions to try to get me to say No. Cheeky little so and so!!! He is his mother's son. Try a day without saying Yes. That was probably the hardest. Especially at work. Don't know if my ideas will help. But at least it may have given you a little laugh at least.
