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.

Gatorland and Mold-A-Rama

I finally got myself to Gatorland. They have periodically a deal for Florida residents, $10 a person. We splurged and paid $2 a person to ride the train.

This is how I always saw Gatorland:

This is how the husband actually saw it:

I didn't get my normal souvenir - a magnet. Nope. This time I finally saw what I had only seen on the internet - Mold-A-Rama. For a mere $2 I have my very own plastic gator. 

The machine

Not the clearest and I wish it was green. 

Attainable Goals for 2014

I I thought, instead of making a 14 in 14 list, like the past couple years, why not make a list of things I can actually do and that are already on my To Do list for myself. I made this list last week and I have already done one of the things on the list:
