34 Things I Want to Do Someday
- Buy a guitar
- Take guitar lessons
- Buy a $100 walmart card and then hand it to the person behind me in line
- Hand out $100 bills in a parking lot somewhere
- Pre-pay for massages for a few stressed single-moms
- Call a college and randomly pay someone's semester tuition
- Stock my freezer with 30 dinners and not cook for a month
- Become certified to teach Zumba or some other dance related exercise class
- Get a PhD, so I could teach at a university if I wanted to work
- or do pre-med work and then go to Medical school
- or get an MBA and work in Health Care Administration again
- or be a stay at home mom the rest of my life
- clearly I am conflicted
- paint our whole house a neutral tan
- although I am happy to let my husband do it
- go on a beach vacation, and lay out in the sun and read
- or lay by a pool and have food and drinks delivered to my chair while I read
- It's funny how only one of my dreams involve cooking (or eliminating it as it were) yet I spend around 1/2 my day each day doing just that.
- But many of my dreams involve having money to give away
- I just know how scary it can be to be close to your last $ when you have kids to feed and clothe
- I thank the three years of law school while I had three little kids for that knowledge :)
- Have a weekend away with my husband
- That one could easily combine with the beach or poolside vacation
- I'm running out of dreams.
- I don't have that many besides giving money away
- and ways to earn that money
- But I can't decide which one (if any) to do.
- Partly because I am completely
- responsible for raising my children right now.
- And I desperately want to do a good job.
- I know I am cheating
- by writing all this stuff
- instead of my list. But
- now you know where my mind is at.
I've had the dreams of giving money away for a long time, but I got some specific ideas from this woman's birthday experience.
haha, love it, those sound good. We have been talking dreams lately. We want to start a movie theatre geared specifically to families. Also, go on a family volunteer trip. Travel to Egypt. We wouldn't mind handing out cash like it's nothing either.
