When the Queen made her non-bucket list bucket list I thought it was a great idea. Like her, I don’t have a set list of things I want to do before I die. I’m kind of a one-day-at-a-time gal and even on vacations I don’t really like to make plans. I’d much rather see where life takes me. Instead of pining for the things I haven’t yet done, I want to savor and celebrate the things I have. Or, in the case of things I’d rather never do again, well I want to celebrate those too so that I don’t forget what it was like. So here’s a list of some of the things I’ve done, the things that I’m already carrying around in my bucket.
- Been on TV, numerous times
- Traveled all over the country
- Lost 100 lbs
- Gained 100 lbs
- Was detained by the police at a concert, but not arrested
- Lost my shirt at the same concert and ended up half naked for the night
- Kissed a girl
- Had a Springer Show style showdown in the middle of the cul-de-sac with the ex-hub, the police, and my grandfather’s shotgun.
- Crossed the United States in a car four times
- Visited 35 of the 50 states, lived in 5 of them
- Scuba dived (dove?) in Cancun
- Learned to shoot after the trauma of #8
- Lived in Italy
- Ran several 5Ks
- Been evicted
- Got a large tattoo that took multiple sessions
- Pierced things that were not visible with clothing on
- Met a boy “off the internet” and stayed with him for a weekend (a long time ago, in another life)
- Swam in the Mediterranean Sea
- Watched a play in an outdoor amphitheater that was over 800 years old.
- Walked the streets of Pompeii
- Loved and lost, and loved again.
- Caught two fish on the same line.
- Went polar bear swimming, back when I was young and dumb.
- Been robbed by a “friend”
- Gave a car away to someone who couldn’t pay for it
I imagine I will be adding to this list the rest of my life. How about you? What’s on your list?
I love this list idea!! SO awesome! What a great idea!!
you rock!

How does one “lose” your shirt at a concert? I’d love to hear that story.
Let’s see, from your list I’ve: kissed a girl, swum in the Mediterranean Sea, walked the streets of Pompeii, loved and lost and loved again, got a tattoo (but not a big one) and been on TV (a couple of times, not numerous).
I can add to that: Performed on the trapeze, did voiceovers for numerous radio commercials and been in a high-security meeting room at the Secret Service in Washington, DC.

@Finn, Oh my gosh I would be terrified of the trapeze! I’m so afraid of heights it’s ridiculous.
The lost shirt was during a Cure/Billy Idol concert in the 80′s. The same concert where I almost got arrested!

Oooh this is a great idea and you know I will have to steal it. In fact, I may make it a Snackie Sunday and give you all the credit!

[...] there are also non-bucket bucket lists. I found this out while reading this post from Princess Buttercream. Instead of listing stuff you want to do before you die, you list stuff [...]

Tattoo lovers understand their body as a canvas wherein the tattoo art form is to be engraved. Normally, women prefer small tattoo photographs and designs with lucid colors.
