Talk of the Nation this afternoon was talking with the writer and executive producer of the new movie The Bucket List. Basically it is a story of 2 terminally ill cancer patients that break out of their hospital to complete their things to do before I kick the bucket list. They had some other people on there and it got me to thinking – what are the things I want to do before I kick the bucket and have I completed any? Here is my stab at my list…

Verno’s Bucket List

..Run a marathon (check!)
..Have “Excellent” credit and maintain it (verno pays bills like she does everything, always a little bit late)
..Drive a car that can comfortably seat my family and at least one extra person
..Travel to the Galapagos Islands
..Learn to enjoy yoga
..Return to my pre-hubby/pre-baby weight
..Finish an IronMan
..Be able to consistently run a sub-10 minute mile
..Score a goal in soccer (years and years of soccer and I have STILL never scored a goal)
..Ski the back bowls at vail, even for just one run
..Go to cooking school – even just a 2 week general one, but a good one nonetheless
..Attend a massage workshop or get somewhat trained, not certified, just more educated
..Master a Bolognese Sauce
..Have a 2nd home (ski condo, beach house, some personal vacation spot that is all mine)

That is about I could come up with. Somehow I think it is supposed to be longer, but it is a work in progress. Hubby and I talked last night and oddly enough there weren't many that were similar. He wants to drive across the Australian Desert (um no), drive to alaska (see previous), climb all the Colorado 14ers (eh.. maybe) and go to Hawaii (sure but no real driving force to get there.) Hopefully we will find some overlap at some point.
