Welcome to Diane's Bucket List Blog!





When I turned 50, a few months ago, I decided that at some point in my life, I had stopped dreaming of doing big things. I felt fairly content with my life, but had no more hopes or dreams. Nothing to reach for. Nothing to dream on.

Mind you, this is SO NOT ME! I've always had lists and so many dreams. Perhaps, I had completed most of my dreams, or put them to the side. Things like parasailing, traveling, going in a glider, adopting children. Those were big dreams and I've checked them off my list.

What more is there to life? So much! I just needed to create a new Bucket List!

This weekend projects

Not really much from my written bucket list to cross off, but I did pick all of the fairies and stars off of my extra bedroom's ceiling on Friday night.  Saturday, off to Zumba class.  For those who don't Zumba yet, it's a great exercise class of lots of high energy latin dancing.  Great fun and more like a party than exercise.  Burns loads of calories too.  Part of my bucket list to is to get to my goal weight and to run a marathon.  This certainly helps on those two scores.

After finishing Zumba, I did a mystery shop for the largest fast food restaurant chain and then bought paint, rollers, etc. to paint the ceiling in that spare bedroom.  It was a lovely blue with clouds, but it was time for a change up on that room from young girl's to more of a guest room/office for me.  After painting one coat, I was off to IKEA to buy a new rug for the room and a few extra touches to make it more up-to-date.

I have a guest coming on Friday night and didn't want the room to look quite so shabby.

Same night, I sat down and pounded out the songs for our church's young people's singing time, second coat on the ceiling and then a quick shower and off to bed.  Whew!

I did work with the dogs on their jumping for agility over the weekend and they are loving it.  Dear Jacques tried to go under the bar and promptly knocked the bar off.  Dear doggy!
