Kimolisa Was Here

I first heard of the idea of a Bucket List from the movie of the same name, The Bucket List. So what is a bucket list? According to Urban Dictionary,

A list of things to do before you die. Comes from the term "kicked the bucket".

I liked the idea of having one because I am as bad as the dog in the movie Up, you know the one that would be talking and would all of a sudden say squirrel. I can get easily distracted and it is only when it is mentioned that I remember I wanted to do something. Well, this list is to keep me on track.

Basically, the items that have a line through them have been accomplished, they are also links to a post about the experience. I hope you enjoy the ride as much as I do.
