Thursday Thirteen #37

Wish me luck today! We're having an ultrasound, hopefully to find out the gender of our little one. So if you would think nice unshy baby thoughts, I'd be grateful!

Inspired by Jenn's Bucket List, I've decided to make a Thursday Thirteen Bucket List of my own. :-D I used to have one of these, but I have since lost it. So here we go…

13 Things Lesley Wants to Do Before She Kicks the Bucket (Hopefully Many, Many, Many Years From Now) :-D

  1. Sky Dive
    That's right my friends I want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane. Bryon's done it. He was a parachute dude in the Queen's Guard. I still think he should have been a diver then he could teach me. Which brings me to my next one…
  2. Learn to Dive
    I want to take all the classes. Everything from regular diving to structure and cave diving. (This one might not be the best of plans for me as I have an insane fear of being trapped in something under water, but hey I'm willing to face my fears, and it sounds fun.)
  3. Take a Horseback Tour through the Countryside of Ireland
    Horses + Ireland = Woohoo!
  4. Drive all of Route 66 in an RV
    No, I wasn't at all influenced in this by the Cars movie…Really!
  5. Water Ski
    I've never been! I've been snow skiing and that was fun.
  6. Sell a Book!
    Okay, more than one! Millions of copies would be ideal. ;)
  7. Restore a Victorian Home
    Hubby just wants to build a Victorian one day, but it's not the same!!!
  8. Learn to Fence
    Well maybe not fence, maybe sword fighting is a better term for it. I don't want to use those tiny little foils. I'm a broadsword kinda girl!
  9. Take a World Cruise
    One of the ones where they don't try to tell you what to do. I don't like being told what to do.
  10. Bungee Jump
    Wouldn't that be fun! If I start to chicken out, someone shove me. K? :-D
  11. Hang Glide
    Yes, lots of the things I'd like to try involve jumping out or off of things, don't they?
  12. Travel Europe (Also by RV) with No Schedule!
    Ah, to be independently wealthy! Guess I'm gonna get all that cash from all of those millions of books I'm going to sell.
  13. Parasail
    Maybe I can do the water related ones on my World Cruise. ;)

Ooh, you've got some nice things on that list. I have no idea what I'd put on mine, really. I've never thought that much about it.

You certainly have an adventurous spirit! I hope you get to do many of these. A horse through the countryside in Ireland, sounds wonderful...

I've waterskied! My list wouldn't include jumping out of planes...just taking planes to places like South Africa, New Zealand and Prague.

Is Route 66 still open? Because, that is something I want to do too, but I heard it's closed.

You will sell a book... I'm sure of it.

Did I ever have that much energy and sense of adventure? No...no. My bucket list is all people I'd like to have lunch with. Sigh.

Mine:

It sounds like quite a list!! I have been paragliding, which was awesome, but I want to drive cross country and waterski as well. Ireland was beautiful, even if I wasn't on horseback...and I did backpack through a lot of Europe...but I was a student on a tight budget. You've brought back wonderful memories for me!!

Seriously #3 is the greatest idea I have ever, ever heard. It is now the first (and only item)on my bucket list! And I am totally with you on #7, I have always wanted to do that (and building is NOT the same).

Thinking very UNshy thoughts and sending them telepathically to baby. (Only three weeks and I get to see the first ultrasound of my son's wee one).

13 of my Favorite Quotes from Fiona O'Sithein I'm too darn sleepy to be creative tonight so I'm drawing on my ready-made list. Not to be confused with the one I did about the first lines of the chapters in Fiona. Those weren't nearly my favorites. Is it narcissistic to have favorite quotes that you wrote yourself? When I'm giggling my head off at something I wrote, my husband always looks at me kinda funny. Oh, well if it is, then here is me reveling in narcissism. :-D May you enjoy them as much as I do. 1. Fiona: “What? You think just because I don’t have any magic like my brother or super strength like you people that I’m useless?” 2. Bonnie: “He’s not a heretic, is he?” Fiona: “Isn’t everyone these days?” 3. Fiona: “No one wants to be the one to deflower the king’s daughter.” 4. Fiona: “Yes, Beltran, you’re a vampire. How could anyone forget it when you’re reminding them of it ten times a day? You are the only vampire I know who seems to obsess ab...

Thirteen Things that take My Breath Away 1. This little Guy... Need I say More? 2. Eden Falls at the Lost Valley This picture doesn't even remotely do it justice. The first time I saw Eden Falls was in the middle of the summer after a big rain storm so there was water absolutely gushing from it! It made getting into the cave at the top somewhat more difficult than usual, but it was absolutely beautiful. I had never seen anywhere like it in my life. I thought places like that only existed in wall calenders! 3. The Ocean The vastness of it. The sound of the waves. The smell of it. That humid, cool wind that blows off it. The way it moves. Pretty much everything about it! *Lesley desperately needs a trip to the beach* 4. The Ozark Mountains My home! The very first time I came here I just knew this was where I wanted to be. I grew up on the delta with nothing but rice fields and flat land as far as the eye can see. There is a place on the drive up the mountain where you come around a c...

Well, I had been planning on putting up 13 pictures from my vacation, but my computer crashed yesterday and has to go to the doctor. I hope they can fix it, because I haven't backed up those 450 pictures I took. :-( I did upload all the really cute ones of Nicky to snapfish though, so at least there is that. This brings me to the question I have for y'all...Does anyone have a good gremlin banishing ritual they would like to share with me??? Just this week, my fridge, my car and my computer have all stopped working. The car was just a battery problem, and it has been replaced. I still don't know what is wrong with the computer or the fridge yet though. Without pictures but still in honor of my vacation... 13 Things I Did in Denmark Fed the ducks, swans, and geese at Damhus Lake. Nicky loved this! He was absolutely entranced by the birds. His favorite part (and keep in mind, he is a boy) was throwing the bread so that it landed on the swans back and then laughing hyst...
