My Life List

Before I really get moving on this newest adventure that is my blog, let me first apologize.

I haven’t written like this in a very long time. I work in local television news, which includes a lot of doom and gloom, and not a lot of happy writing. I also haven’t written about myself in about a year so now I need to pull out my narcissistic qualities that I know I have and apply them to my writing. I’ll do my best to make this fun, interesting and expressive!

My list has three parts to it (for now). Things I want to do, places I want to go, and things I want to see… yea not very creative but you get the idea. Also, it is a very corny list... but I'm a sappy, traditional optimist. The things that are crossed out, are things I have completed. I will be writing blogs on each of those experiences so stay tuned.

And now… without further ado… here is my Life List! TA-DA! :-D

You might wonder why some things are on my list and other things are not. It’s all relative though… what excites me, might not interest you. But, if you read my blog and think of something I might like and should add to my list, I would love new suggestions. Just please don’t suggest “sing karaoke,” or “run a marathon.” For me, singing is meant for the shower and the car… and I only run when chased.
