Bucket list

Do you have a bucket list? Ever since the movie came out people are always telling me what is on their bucket list. I have a few things and have had to remove one or two over the years.

  1. Dancing ( a waltz) with Sean Connery.  I mean what woman wouldn’t want to do that?
  2. Skydiving. Personally I think this is on just about everyone I know list.
  3. Travel around the world. Not sure how that is going to work out as it is a little dangerous to travel right now.
  4. Attend a Hollywood A list party. Okay meeting all your favorite entertainers would be fun. Admit it.
  5. A cruise and or deep sea fishing. I have never been out on the ocean only to the beach.

What’s on your bucket list?

She finally picked one

Well she finally picked a novation for her keyboard. I didn’t think she was ever going to figure out what she wanted. Oh wait, I am talking about my daughter, who has the most difficult time making up her mind about anything. Trying to buy her stuff is such a pain because she insists on picking everything out herself and then takes ten years to do it. Well not exactly ten, but you get the picture.

My new motto

I think I am going to adopt this as my new motto. My friends and family might think I am crazy or have totally lost it, but hey, who cares. I am going to be positive from now on no matter what. I don’t care what life throws at me, I plan on weathering the storm with as much calm as possible. I think it is a better way to be then to get upset all the time.

Be awesome all day!

Telling me all about it

My son is so excited about his new job, that he comes home and tells me every little detail. Last night he was telling me about the chainsaws that his uncle bought from www.sherrilltree.com. He says they are the best chainsaws ever built and work so good that they cut through the toughest trees. Well I am glad that he is so excited about this and equally happy that he is taking an interest in everything about it in order to learn more. It is just great that he is happy even though it is a tough job working out in the sun and heat like that.

I know a lot of men who wouldn’t be able to handle it. While I know that he is interested in the chainsaws and such, he is not allowed to run one, before you ask. The extent of his cutting is with a small hand saw or hatchet to help make everything fit into the trailer. I trust his uncle implicitly and know that he would never allow him to do anything like run a chainsaw at his age. Maybe in another couple of years when he is like 16 or so, will he teach him how to do that, but not now.

Summer job

So my 14 year old got a summer job working with his uncle. His uncle has a tree cutting service and needed help loading branches and stuff onto a trailer. It doesn’t pay as much as I would like but my son says he doesn’t care since he is making money. He is working to buy something, although I am not sure what as he won’t say anything other than there is something he wants to buy. At least he is working towards it on his own. I can’t wait to see what it is though.
