My Bucket List

One of my very talented, curious, and fun-loving students asked me what was on my bucket list. The question caught me off guard. And I think she could tell, so she said, "post it on your blog." Yes, I immediately responded. Perfect. Well, I've been thinking about that question for awhile now, and to prove I haven't forgotten, here is my bucket list, Lauren ;)

*Backpack across Europe (but not sleep in a hostel).
*Spend a significant amount of time in Spain.
*Find a gluten-free pizza that tastes like my favorite glutenous Angenos pizza.
*Become a mom. And a Grandma someday, I suppose.
*Not be brought onto Oprah and told how much I ruined a student's life.
*Catch a musky (note, however, I have no intentions of holding it).
*Take a year off of work and travel the USA in an RV.
*Teach in a castle in Scotland for a semester.
*Pay for my future childrens and nieces/nephews college educations.
*Write a book about teaching. One that would actually get read instead of sitting on someone's coffee table as a decoration.
*Win a karaoke contest.
*Learn how to clean the kitchen to really meet Husband Joe's standards.
*Design my own clothes. If I'm really bold, sew them myself.
*Probably should learn how to sew.
*Take a photography class.
*Become fluent in Spanish and American Sign Language.
*Become a high school principal.
*Start my own high school.
*Co-own a bait shop business with my husband. And serve gluten-free cookies at the counter.
*Read more.
*Take ballroom dancing lessons.

As I read back over this list, I realize there are many other things I want to add, but for now I'll start with this. I imagine it will keep me busy for awhile.
