Blog-Tember Day 10: Bucket List

Prompt: 10 items off your bucket list. If you haven't made one, now's a good time to start!

I'm not a huge fan of bucket lists. I much prefer to think in terms of shorter term goals, even if they are sometimes lofty. Instead, I am currently in my second time participating in the Day Zero Project. Basically you make a goal of 101 items to do in 1001 days. I love the shorter time period. I love the ability to add easy goals (e.g. read 50 books) and harder goals (e.g. travel to another country). For today, I'm sharing 10 of my current favorite items from my 101 in 1001 list.

1. Build a snowman -- Obviously not going to happen in California. But I usually spend Christmas in Indiana. Maybe it will snow enough this year to build a snowman.
2. Host a tea party -- I want to have a proper tea party with mini sandwiches and scones with clotted cream. Sounds like so much fun.
3. Give 5 Just Because gifts -- I want to cultivate more deeper friendships. This is a perfect way to get started on that.
4. Give Arthur 25 pictures books in 25 days for December 2015 -- My plan for this year. I saw someone do this on Pinterest and it sounded like a great idea.
5. Attend an opera or musical -- I miss going to the theater. I would love to attend some type of theater performance soon...
6. Ask 20 friends to suggest one book, and read them all -- This is going to be part of my 2016 reading challenges. I am excited with the idea of suggestions from those that I actually know.
7. Listen to every song by The Beatles -- I love The Beatles, but I feel like that there are songs by them that I've never heard. This is a big task. And yet, I'm really looking forward to it.
8. Open a cookbook to a random page and make what ever is on it -- This one is part of my September goals. I'm way too excited to do this one.
9. Get lasik -- It's been on my list for a few years now. Unfortunately pregnancy delayed my plan. We now have a decent HSA account that I can use to get lasik this fall. Just need to make an appointment.
10. Get Arthur’s tattoo -- Another goal on my list for the past few years (2 to be exact). I still haven't decided which design to go with, but I'm leaning towards one very simple silhouette.
