My Pail List

Who am I kidding? They’re basically the same thing.

Everyone is familiar with the concept of a bucket list. People carry around a warn and tattered scrap of paper that lists the things they want to do before they kick the bucket. Well, I’ve decided that I don’t want to wait until I’ve got one foot in the grave to start living my life. I want to enjoy every day for what it is and say yes to the world with an immediacy most people wait their whole lives to find. I want my list completed before I’m 25, as to constantly keep me aware of the life I’m living and the choices I’m granted the opportunity of making. So instead of calling this a bucket list, encompassing all of the old-age connotations and skydiving excursions, I’m calling mine a pail list. It’s on a smaller scale with simple activities, and while it  still looks like a bucket, its scope is much more pail-like in nature.

My Pail List:

• Dye my hair blonde (CHECK, October, 2013)
• Dye my hair red (CHECK, November, 2012)
• Lose weight (I’m constantly completing this item)
• Run an official race (CHECK, June, 2013)
• Swim in the ocean naked (No idea how this will happen)
• Get sent an edible arrangement (I’ve already alerted my boyfriend)
• Plant a garden (First I need some space)
• Wear a bikini (Yikes, just yikes)
• Have professional pictures taken (Maybe on a nice beach)
• Go to a spa (Friends and I are looking into this)
• Do the polar bear plunge (Look out for team Ice Ice Save Me this winter)
• Go to a concert (CHECK, May, 2013)
• Sing karaoke (CHECK, December, 2013)
• Cook all of the recipes I’ve collected (Feeding to the dog is allowed)
• Use my passport (And first, get a passport)
• Write a novel (Quality isn’t top priority)

Look forward to me updating this page a bit and expect a post for every one I am able to check off my list!
