    My current bucket list is 75% complete: To attend all four Grand Slams of Tennis in succession, and play tennis in each host city. I've already been to London for Wimbledon, New York for the US Open, And Sydney and Melbourne for the Australian Open. On June 2, I lift off for Paris and the French Open! And yes - I've played tennis as well in each city!

    Next bucket list item: Pay off the credit cards that I used on the previous bucket list. :-)

    LOL! Sounds like a great plan :)

    I never thought of making a bucket list, but some of these suggestions are just so great I started one!

    Things I added not previously mentioned here:

    - swim with dolphins
    - visit an intact semi-submerged/submerged shipwreck
    - visit Hawai'i
    - finish a novel and submit it for publication
    - own a mustang convertible and do my own Route 66-style road trip in it, with either hubby or girlfriends
    - visit Europe with hubby
    - go LARPing with hubby once to say that I tried it
    - build a hobbit house to live in with hubby (with a library that has bookcase windowseats for all our tomes)

    And as I am engaged but not married yet, the 'hubby' thing is it's own bucket list!

    Hike the Appalachian Trail is one of them since I LOVE to hike and it's so close to where I live I feel like it's teasing me! I'll have to wait until life frees up a bit. I met someone recently who actually did it in four months and I thought it was pretty awesome that they accomplished something on my list!

    That's a long time without showering :happy:

    Ha! Touche. Yes it is a long time without a shower, but I'd like to do it solo so hopefully I'll be completely unaware of my smelliness! :wink:

    (In the very far future(; lol) run a race with my kids(; I ran a 5k last Saturday (I'm pretty slow... only been running for a few months) and there was a guy who (you could just tell by looking at him; his legs were awesome) that he was a really good runner. But I was always just a smidge behind him the whole time because he was running with his little daughter! She was probably only 5 or 6, but it was just the most adorable thing! He would turn around and encourage her and she kept up! She ran the whole thing(:

    I *so* want to do that one day! (:
