Bucket List.....of FUN!

I found this list over at my friend Ducky's blog at Batcrap Crazy  She found it at Secrets of a Sweet Southern Girl   I hate Bucket Lists normally but this one seemed kinda fun and sorta reasonable for me to achieve a few things.  Hey, I need a self esteem boost right now.....so sue me.
