So I was reading Agent's blog, and she had a list of things to do before I die. I haven't thought about this in ages, since I'm kept so busy running around after everyone, but I do want to make a dream board, so I thought this might be a good place to start and to come up with some things that mean the most to me.
This is the original list 101 things to do in the next 1001 days written by another blogger
So like Agent...here are my comments:
1. Go to bar, hang out, drink alcohol by myself and enjoy it – It’s the enjoying bit I have trouble with. I don’t enjoy having to do this by myself, I always feel like a reject.
2. Play laser tag – we have paint ball out in the country, but I can’t ever see myself getting there
3. Get a Professional massage and/or full spa day – done the massage. Would love the day spa
4. Jump on a trampoline – have one in the backyard. It really doesn’t feel the same once you grown up. All your muscles go ‘what the…?’
5. Host dinner party for at least 8 –Does Christmas lunch count? If so done this one
6. Visit a museum and/or art gallery – my Dad used to work at the art gallery of nsw, so I’ve done this, and been to the maritime museum and other museums in
7. Go to Rein Faire in Full Costume – have no idea what this may be
8. Sleep in a water bed – slept in one for many many years. Finally ditched it because its so hard to breastfeed in one
9. Make note of where I am when my car turns 100,000 miles well 100,000kilometres. I think I was driving to work. Theres now 250,000km on my little car.
10. Visit a planetarium don’t have them here
11. Participate in a wine tasting and/or winery tour done them both at
12. Do a High Tea somewhere – as in scones and jam and tea? Done it but with orange juice as I’m not a tree drinker
13. Play chess – yes but not very good at winning
14. See a Drive in movie – The first movie I ever saw was with Kermit the Frog at the drive in at Caringbah. I think I might’ve seen grease there too. We saw lots of movies at the drive in. Now there’s a supa centre and hardware store there.
15.
16. Play blackjack at a casino I have no idea how to play blackjack. I am not a betting person. I prefer my money in my pocket
17. Make homemade ice cream done this one lots of times. We used to have a home ice cream machine
18. Try 10 new food (like seafood/etc) – I’ve tried lots of stuff, and love a lot of it. I think I would really need to travel to accomplish this one

20. Ride in a taxi – done this one lots of times
21. Have my fortune read – won’t ever be doing this one
22. Go away for my birthday –While I was away for some of my birthday last year, it would be nice to be away on holiday, not at a conference

Hi there. Figured since it was my original list you were referring to - I'd fill in some of the unknowns for you.
{7. Go to Rein Faire in Full Costume } – Renaissance Faire people get dressed up in old English times. (knights and princess kind of thing)
{43. Play with a handbell choir –}
English Handbells - tend to be found mostly in churches.
{55. Learn how to play pinochle – }Pinochle is card game (different deck than poker and the like)
{57. Take a spinning class} – It's a type of exercise class with stationary bikes
{75. Stay overnight at the Casino } Was actualy thinking of the casinos we have on the shore line of Connecticut
{88. Tithe to charities of my choice for a year} tithe means give 10%
{101. Attend Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade} It takes place in New York City.
Glad you enjoyed the list.
