Inspired by this fantastic blog (and I mean inspired. This is the most inspiring blog I have ever run across. And I've done some blog stalking in my time, let me tell you.), I am writing a live list. I always say things like, "oh, I have to do that before I die" - now it's officially time to write all those things down. Or at least all the ones I can remember.
Watch a sunrise from a field (preferably a field in England)
Mess about in a boat
Walk through a cool wood.
Embrace my inner nerd and go to a renaissance faire
Paint a watercolor and give it to my mum
Find a becoming hat that will fit my giant head - Victory! After literally cramming every semi-attractive hat within reach onto my melon of a head, I finally found one that fits at forever 21 in the men's section! You have no idea how triumphant I feel.
See some Shakespeare - Hamlet at the rep and Twelfth Night at the Old Globe. Both incredible.
Fly a kite (possibly a homemade one?)
go to the beach - without the fuss. No lugging stuff,stuff, stuff
wear perfume every day
plant a garden
teach the dog to stay
Sew something
learn to like tea
pick a wildflower bouquet
wear a dress to school.
Send a letter
learn to knit
learn a language
learn to comfortably use the metric system and European shoe sizing. (I am a 40)
train myself to stand up straight, like Audrey Hepburn
learn to pick a lock
I am confident you will love the ren fair. (And if the fact that I refer to it as the "ren fair" isn't a clue that I'm a HUGE nerd myself, then I don't know what is.)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words and inspiring list. I've posted a link to it here.
Ha! I'm pretty excited to check that one off, actually. And I've decided that the fair I attend has to have some sort of reenactment - I'm going to get the whole experience!
ReplyDeleteThank you for inspiring the list in the first place! What a great thing to spread around.
You're certainly allowed to steal items from my live list, haha. :) And yes, I can't wait to pick a lock!
