17 notes:
I love your last one.
I think I need to change the name of my list, "40 before 40" is just too much pressure. Especially since it's only two years away.
we could be best friends....
and i will totally go with you to neil diamond. sweet caroline..duh-duh-duh!!! {thats the best part.}
p.s your cute!
I love baby girl names! My lucky husband is going to have to give me a few girls so I can use them. And one of them is Caroline, courtesy of Mr. Diamond, of course!
as far as number 23 goes...
You should have a reality show to choose your family's BFF's (a la Paris Hilton, only better)...we would totally enter...we love you guys!! :)
Great bucket list! I should make me one
I'd like to copy your list, minus a few. how do you feel about that?
Nice, always good to have plans! I especially like the no debt one! I am a huge fan of no debt.
We would be your family friends, even if you got a pig.
Awesome.
I should revise my list. Last time I did one it was when I was a little girl & they were all goals before I hit 30.
hmmm...no Oscar or Grammy under my belt. (funny. kids weren't on the list until after 30-ha!)
Oh Kal, I love your list! You've inspired me (once again) to make a list of my own. love you! PS- we need to talk books soon...I have a goodie for you!
#21: you have 2 signature meals mastered- burger bundles and pb and waffles
#23: its not the rich's?
#31: do u wanna buy my mom-in-law's farm when she passes- she has everything but the pig
#32: someone put a large sticker that says "NEIL" over the Everts street sign where it crosses with Diamond- get it Neil & Diamond- hahaha
#33: why is MY country last?
My husband is very easy to get along with and will laugh at all of your jokes, therefore I think you really must ignore all of these other people vying for #23 and choose us instead.
I think the home you buy, in the neighborhood you love, should be filled with black furniture and vinyl lettering. It's only right. (I LOVE BLACK FURNITURE, haters to the left.)
I loved your list. And you can only get a mini horse if you name it Mini Horse. Any other name would just be cruel.
I have been to Alaska and would like to go back. I had the best king crab that I have ever had or will ever have in Juneau. I still dream about it.
Shannon's comment made me just sing, "Sweet Caroline... buh, buh, buh.."
Miss Kalliko...you don't want too much, do you?
so you're saying dying & turning 40 are kind of like the same thing?;) also, not to brag, but i did one of those lists a year & a half ago & the universe/karma/our heavenly father gave me the opportunity to do every about 18 out of 20. so update us in a year!
Love your list! Will you personally autograph your book for me? That would be swell!
I love Neil. I love Europe. I love you!
Oh Kalli--seeing your new blog header makes me miss you and the funny things you say! I so want to pop back to Utah for a couple days and go to lunch with the old gang just to hear you say something outrageous and funny.
