Some of you are going to read this next post and roll your eyes, which I am fine with, but it’s something that I need to get off my chest and you guys are the best sounding board a girl could ask for.
Yesterday, during my lunch break at work I was surfing around the interwebs and came across a fabulous blog called Mightygirl.com. Now many of you might be wondering if I have had my head under a rock all this time not to know about Mightygirl.com, but I’m sorry I must have missed that tweet. Anyway, I was on Mightygirl.com and reading her ever so famous Mighty Life List she made for herself. I thought it was pretty cool that she had taken the time to do this and that Intel was now sponsoring her. To be honest I had never thought of doing such a thing and it seemed like a pretty neat idea. That was SIGN 1.
After work that day I came home and watched a movie with my roommate. I 
got Netflix for Christmas so the movie nights in my apartment have increased 10 fold. After the movie finished I took a look at My Queue to see what movie would be gracing my mailing next and it was none other than “The Bucket List“. (I have been told since by numerous people that I am not allowed to watch this movie because I would cry for a week) That was SIGN 2.
After taking my dog out that night I decided I was going to watch an episode of “Everybody Loves Raymond“. (side note: I have a serious addiction to TV on DVD and will watch ANYTHING that can wrap itself up in a neat little 30min sitcom) I usually watch episodes in the order they are put on the DVD, but last night I was feeling adventurous decided to pick one at random to fall asleep to. OMG you guys…Raymond, the show’s main character, was having a mid-life crisis in this episode and his friends told him that he needed to make a list of 100 things he needed to do before he died. The whole 30 mins I just stared at the screen watching Raymond struggle to make this list of 100. That was SIGN 3.
I was definitely freaking out at this point. All day the universe was pointing me to this idea of making a “life list”, or whatever you wanted to call it, and it really creeped me out! But as I lay there trying to fall asleep I thought, if this is what I am suppose to do it really couldn’t get any clearer. I mean people walk around everyday asking for signs and here I was with 3 shoved right in my face.
So I tried to write a Mighty Life List….and I failed.
I could only come up with 5 things, which really depressed me. I am only 25 years old, I surely can come up with 100 things I want to do….
I am going to try again tomorrow and hopefully there will be some signs to guide me.

Think outside the box, or impulse things, or maybe this just means that you are so contented in your life, there is nothing else you want to achieve. For me, there are so many things I intend to do, I didn’t even number them and they take up a VERY long page on my blog.
Thanks Emma! I have started to talk to other about my list and tons of things have come up. I also plan on making a list of all the things I have done, cause I have come to realize that is important too.
Don’t forget that the bucket list cannot have limits! If it does, then there is nothing to aspire to. If you had the money; if you had the time; if you had the resources; what would you want to do?
Good luck! I think I will start my own too.
You are so right Jackie! I was totally thinking “in budget”, I have started to rewrite my list with a “sky’s the limit” attitude.
Thanks!
