Bucket list.

Here I am, conjuring a list of things I'd like to accomplish before I die -- seems a little dark, eh? Not in my eyes. I see it as motivation to accomplish tasks I normally would be too scared to try.

1. Try Sushi: The thought of eating raw fish grosses me out. Terribly. However, a lot of people seem to enjoy eating our friends with fins. 

2. Travel abroad: When I say "abroad" I don't mean Hawaii. Send me to Africa to play with the elephants. 

3. Ditch the 'Soda Diet': There's nothing I enjoy more than a glass of Dr. P with my sandwich, while my innards scream out in agony. Something tells me a glass of water will increase my longevity. 

4. Open my own restaurant: I love to cook. What's better than profiting off of your passion? 

5. Skydive: Weeeeeeeeeeee! -- Coming from someone who has acrophobia. Though I've heard nothing beats the feeling of flying. 

6. Donate $1,000 to charity: After losing countless loved ones to cancer/diseases, I'd love to help someone who still has a fighting chance. 

7. Tell someone off: Pretty self-explanatory. It may not be the greatest ambition, but hey, it works!

8. Write a book: I love writing just as much as I love cooking; nothing could compare to publishing my very own masterpiece.

9. Run a marathon: After successfully kicking my 'soda diet' and a million glasses of water later, MAYBE I can run a marathon. It would be absolutely gratifying.

10. Meet someone famous: Who doesn't want to shake Robin Williams' hand? 

11. Read a Stephen King novel front-to-back: Haha, whether I'm successful or not, I'd love a good scare. 

12. Rescue an animal: Though I have 2 dogs of my own, it's still a dream of mine to rescue an animal. I could never, ever fathom how a human can harm a defenseless animal. Gr!

13. Renewing vows <3 - I love my husband SO much! This may not happen for years to come, but I'd love to promise him forever again and again. 

14. Be in NYC on New Years Eve: Dick Clark might not be around when this happens, dammit. But, what a beautiful, chaotic sight it would be! 

15. Change the world: One blog post at a time. :)
