Bucket List

Great Post Dan-o although I really think that you should rethink number 11... lol 1.  Take my kids to Disney land and do everything there that there is to do. 2. Go on a cruise and wear ******y evening gowns to the formal events looking smashing 3. Fly again even though it scares the dickens out of me... but I want to fly in comfort!!!!!   4. Ride roller coasters even though bad for my back just one so I can say that i did and the bar buckled... lol 5. Ride horses again and maybe even own one or two. I loved it as a kid but have been to big to do it as an adult. 6. Just run and play with my kids and not have to sit out every 5 minutes. I want to play baseball with them, chase them ride bikes with them.   7. Own an RV and spend a year going to all the tracks to see Kasey own the asphault. 8, Go get a body massage, i know i could now but how gross,,,, i wanna do it and enjoy it.  9. Watch my children become parents and enjoy being a grandma all while being healthy and active.  10. I would love to run a marathon too.

Dan, I've seen the cattle drive. I know for a fact they come through Enid since it's part of the old Chisholm Trail. I've already been to 2 NASCAR races and met our son's favorite driver, Bobby LaBonte in Texas. Can't meet Earnhardt, unfortunately, but we've had our family portrait taken at Hajek Motorsports Museum in Ames, Oklahoma in front of Earnhardt's car. Mr. Cat even wore one of Chocolate Myer's shirts in our pic. Cat's Bucket List 1. Go to the motherland: England & Ireland. I am very determined to see England and Ireland the places of my ancestry. 2.Go to the family land: Kentucky. My sister and I plan to do this very soon. They moved to Oklahoma from Hodgenville in 1906 when my great-gf homesteaded our family farm. 3.  Move back home to Reydon when I retire. It IS going to happen. Gotta love remote Western Oklahoma: God's country. 4.  Own a Harley 5. Buy touring cycles and travel the country with DH going to all the NASCAR races we want to see in North Carolina, Tennessee and spend the entire Speed Weeks and racing events in Daytona. If I happen to get to meet DW  or Jr. on the way, so be it. 6. Take family back to Disney World for a repeat of John'a Make-A-Wish trip and FIT my posterior into the 2 rides I couldn't the first time around. Mrs. Dr. Walton put that trip together and made it happen. Mr. Dr. Walton has made my butt fit into the seats! 7.  Have enough money left over from my inheritance to finance my WLS for my SIL. 8. Go to my high school reunion and NOT be the fattest chick in the room. 9. Be a grandma to both children's kids...making sure that John sees adulthood and children of his own. 10.  Horses. DH has promised me horses when we move back home since I'm letting him run a few head of cattle. Whoever thought I'd willingly get remotely close to farming again after so many years of avoiding it! Most of the rest of it is simple: Enjoy life and my family.

1. Swim with the Great White Shark (I know you guys are tired of hearing me talk about it).  Sharks are cool Dan.

2. Go on a month long rode trip.  By the time I pay the kennel bill, I won't be able to afford to go anywhere....LOL.

 3. Finish and publish a book.

4.  Visit Australia and Africa.

5. Ok, this one is really selfish and so anti-rescue-but I would like to produce just one really nice dog or snake or something....a prize winning, wonderful animal.  Hell, I'd settle for breeding a truly awesome gerbil.

6. Buy some scrub land somewhere and just leave it for the wild things to enjoy.  Sorry guys, no hunting.

7. I really would like to buy a boat and go down the Mississippi River, and then follow the shoreline of the Gulf all around to my friend's house in Sarasota Florida.  I doubt the Gulf part is really a good idea, but the other part is doable.

8. Go on a week long retreat at the Essalen Institute.

9. Go camping with Jane Goodall, Bono and that cute little Aussie take home chef guy. 

10.  Sneak into the OKC zoo and spend the night. (shhhh, don't tell ANYONE)

Deb, you are such a rebel child!!  It's so darn funny! I am to deep inside! No 5 is interesting!! lol I have a $10,000 dog that has been so highly trained that I don't even know what all she knows..What is amazing about her is that she is just like any dog....she just wants to be loved....All her specialness and awsomeness is there, but inside she is just plain as the two mutts next door. It is a proud moment when people stop me on the street or in the parking lot and comment on her. A very proud moment for sure. When you sneak into the zoo...let me know, I'll go with you!!

I'm thinking maybe Augustish for a Zoo trip.  I'm not big on cold weather and I'm guessing the animals would be more active at night after a long hot day of sleep.  Disclaimer:  I just want to BE there-not go inside pens or places that would be a bad idea to go into.

Just to let everyone know.....My daughter gave me the fancy dog or I would never have one....I would never pay that amount for a dog...They had two and  kept the young one....this one is 8 so she is my age!! lol

Dan  You keep make them TS references, and we will not get along anymore.  J/K Is it odd, that I really don't anything Of course I want the new million dollar home and the new car every two years, but I just bought my first home (before the age of 30) I have a great job, wonderful daughter.  I am so thankful for everything that I have, I just can't think of anything else that I want. Maybe winning the Lotto, If that ever happened I would put the money in a high yeild account, and use the interest earned to pay for anyones WLS, whose insurance gave them hell. DAMN YOU INSURANCE CO.

You know, I think if I won the lottery, I'd open an account to help people to be able to have this surgery....I think it would be the best "pay it forward" that anyone could do. I'd pick certain people that would never expect it in a million years and change their lives forever!!!  The best thing of all would be to never tell them who it was!!! I used to pay electric bills for different people when I was a director for an organization. I used my own pay check to do it...not the companies, but I would hear their dispair when they would call and there was no where to turn....I felt so good knowing I had helped someone like that....Christmas time my daughters and I would adopt up to 10 families and buy food and gifts for all of them!! My daughters still continue to do that for others now....I help where I can but someday soon I will be able to begin helping again....So the lottery is on my list now too! lol
