Amazing Zippered Woman

For those who have not seen the movie, let me explain the concept of a “Bucket List.” This is a compilation of wishes or adventures that an individual hopes to experience before he/she “kicks the bucket.” (I’m impressed with myself. That was a tremendous pun.) By way of illustration, I’m going to share with you ten of my Bucket List entries. Just let me reach in and grab a few.

Okay, here we go. Remember - these are just samples. Also the following are not arranged in any particular order.

#1
  Someday I want to flag down a car that contains a passenger who I have witnessed throwing trash out the window. I want to drag said passenger out of the car by his/her ear. Once removed from the vehicle, I shall scream, “I don’t want to live in your trash.” I’ll follow this statement with a spray of spit aimed at the eye of the offender.

#2
  I want to spend some time in Darfur and Gaza easing pain and letting these people know that Americans do care.

#3
  I want to live one week as a thin person - eating whatever I want without being riddled with guilt.

#4
I want to have “a little something” done to my eyes so that my eyelids are once again visible instead of being hidden in the folds between my wrinkles.

#5
I want to take my whole family on a cruise for at least a week - just eating, drinking and spending quality time together.

#6
I want to go on the Oprah show and talk about organ donation.

#7
I want to meet my donor family so I can share with them some pictures of me doing things that would have been impossible without their wonderful gift. For example dancing at my daughter’s weddings, watching my son graduate and hugging my grandchildren.

#8
I want to go on a photo safari.

#9
I want to put my tongue in Tom Selleck’s ear.

#10
I want to apologize to Georgia Kirksey for putting a dead mouse down her shirt when I was seven years old.

That’s enough for now. Why don’t you use the “comment” option on this blog and share a few of your bucket list dreams with my dear readers.
