Many people have one: A Bucket List. In other words: The what I want to do before I die list. I never put much thought into one before but have decided to start keeping track of things I want to do. Some things I’d like to accomplish before I turn 30, others 40 and others are long-term goals. I’m looking to constantly update this list and also will be taking suggestions so send ’em my way!
1. Skydive
2. Figure out what I want to “do” the rest of my life (advertising and PR related obviously)
3. Donate a large sum of money to the MS Society
4. Pay off all bills and have a great credit score

What am I missing?
What should I add?
What one should I focus on this month?!
Life in the CLE 
LOVE that skydiving was #1 on your list! I crossed that one off last year, and it was exhilerating!! Definately do it!! A few that I’ve done that I’d highly suggest (if you haven’t done them already) because I’m going to steal some of your ideas I don’t have on my list:
1. Walk in a huge parade, carrying a giant balloon or handing stuff out to kids
2. Parasail
3. See a movie/play/musical by yourself
4. Try foods you have always been afraid to try (turns out I love oysters and crawfish!)
I really want to go skydiving but I don’t trust easily. I have friends that are in the Special Forces…I need to see if I can go with them.
I’ve walked in a parade before, quite fun (will probably do that again this year)
I like the parasailing idea.
Seeing something by myself is absolutely terrifying for some reason. I was considering going to see a movie this weekend by myself. Didn’t happen.
I need to work on that food thing. I’m a pretty picky eater…that will need to be added for sure.
