last night, tim and i had dinner at a tapas restaurant. yes, it was our valentine's celebration. see, it is very easy to get into any restaurant you want on the night before valentine's. i've never really been into celebrating this holiday. that being said, after one beverage at dinner, our conversation did not situate on us discussing love and relationships, but rather death. ha.
specifically i was thinking about a NPR podcast that i listened to about the movie, the bucket list. the podcast was less about the movie and more about the idea of creating a bucket list, which is apparently the list of things to do before you kick the bucket. and of course, i was struck with the idea that it is completely ridiculous to wait until you get the "6 more months" diagnosis...to do all the things in life that you'd like to do...if you thought time was running out. why not do those things now?
then i started thinking...what would be on my bucket list? this is the question that filled most of tim and i's romantic valentine's dinner conversation. ha. but here is the list...
1) Live in Prague (for a short or long period of time).
2) Travel the United States, very low key...sleeping in the back of a truck, camping, meeting the seedy underbelly all over the world.
3) Live with my Mom again.
4) Try any and every drug I have ever been curious about.
5) Learn to play the pedal steel and then tour with a rock band.
I finished my list and then realized these were all pretty selfish requests...so I figured I could throw one more item that would include doing something for the better good....
6) Create an animal sanctuary.
