About 3 years before I turned 40, I made a #40by40 list.. and got several marked off.. but I knew I wanted to start one for before I turn 50! You can find my full #50by50 list here. Today has been sort of a bummer- because I didn't get a position that I applied for..but as I look at my list.. there are still some things I want to accomplish that require me to be in a school setting.

Do you have a summer bucket list? Do you have a list of adventures you want to accomplish?
You have meet someone famous on your list. You've met several famous authors through NTTBF.
ReplyDeleteI don't keep a bucket list because they're associated with death. I prefer to keep lists of adventures accomplished (on Listography).
