Can I kick it? Yes you can!

While a "bucket list" may seem daunting, which is why I wrote a joy list instead, I do still have things I want to do, at some point in my life. I want to share them with you.

This is by no means a comprehensive list, and is in no particular order, but:

Things I Want To Do At Some Point In My Life

Visit all 7 continents (3 down! 4 to go!)

Visit all 50 states (side mission: figure exactly which ones I've already visited)

Learn to speak French

Learn to play the guitar

Dye my hair blue

Work in a university library as a professional librarian (not just as a student like I did in undergrad)

Take at least a week's vacation in a tropical location without any agenda at all

Own a house

Get married

Have children

Compete in a triathlon

Live debt free

Host regular dinner parties

Get LASIK

Become a certified actor-combatant

Learn to really sew, not just hack it like I do now

Play the Baker's Wife in Into the Woods

Play Cathy in The Last 5 Years

Live in a walking neighborhood

Get a second Masters' degree

As my email signature says, "Imagine you're 80, looking back on the fulfilling, beautiful life you've led. Now go do that."
