Un-Bucket List

I know there is a movie (I have never seen) about a bucket list. I read plenty of posts about completing bucket lists. I have written my own lists of 5 year plans and goals. The thing is I try to do things I want to do rather than focus on what I haven’t done. So when I came across a blog post with a bunch of crossed off bucket list entries I thought why not an un-bucket list. Yep, a list that lists the things that some people would put on a bucket list, but I have already done. Let’s see how this idea works out.


UnBucket List:

Hike a mountain in New Mexico.
Ride an elephant.
Ride a camel.
Go on a cruise.

Visit Washington DC.
Visit New Orleans.

Buy my dream car.

Buy a house.
