How's the Bucket List Going?

So, I started this blog with a 'bucket list' of things I wanted to do before I turned 30. That event is now only nine months away, and I thought I should relook at my list and see how I'm doing...

  • Go Sky Diving
  • Ride a Mechanical Bull
  • Run a Marathon (MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!! 10/4/2010)
  • Go to Alaska (Was going to go last October, but plans changed...this one might need to be folded into the 'Turning 40 Bucket List')
  • Write a Novel
  • Go on an Epic Road Trip (MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!! Road trip to Michigan with the Sister. Couldn't find the mountain in Wisconsin even though we could see it, got lost in Michigan, climbed a sand dune, stopped at a dairy farm and petted cows, and even ran in a 5k race!)
  • Get a Tattoo
  • Make the Perfect Martini

So, I've accomplished a couple, working on a couple more...waiting until it gets warmer out to get the tattoo as I think I'll get it on my foot and need to be able to not wear shoes for a while afterwards and while I have made "the perfect" spiked eggnogs, bloody marys and glasses of red wine (that one is pretty easy) I have yet to perfect the martini.

The skydiving is going to get checked off the list when I'm in Boston this spring I think! :) Still on the look-out for the mechanical bull...
