New things

In 2010 i made myself a list of things i wanted to do, kind of like a bucket list, only i wanted to do them in a year not like one day before i die.. but then i broke my foot, lost my job, lost my car, stopped showering ect ect

I forgot about the list... until yesterday when i was staring at my hilarious blog post from yesterday waiting for the comments and praise on my awesomeness. I started to read the side panel where i put it and realized i had actually clicked most of them off without even realizing it!

The most memorable one clicked off had to be shooting a gun though. I woke up, hung over, cursing my brain and its lack of ability to soak up liquor like it used to, when Tushie called.

Her and mal mal had decided we were going to shoot guns that day.... which was funny cuz it kind of felt like someone had already shot a gun and it was still ringing in my damn ears.

So we went out and made the arrangements and the next thing you know im standing and staring at a bunch of guns in a glass case! Now i thought that holding a gun would make me feel totally bad ass, kind of like a sexy Charlies Angel... but no my dears, in fact it ended up reminding me of every shooting i had ever seen on the news. I mean the Columbine shooting happened when i was 12 and i watched it on TV with terror  my whole 12 year old body shaking.  For a year afterwards i went to school and looked for exit strategies... so holding a gun did not in fact make me bad ass... it scared the fucking SHIT out of me.

Actually the ex army guy helping me hold the shot gun (who by the way.... so hot) seemed to be the only one who didn't laugh at what seemed an outrageous fear to my friends. So i shot the gun and decided that if push comes to shove id much rather stab a burglar then shoot him! And now i have switch blade in my nightstand..... much more civilized!


Anyways enough of that and more of this... My new kind-a-bucket list:

1. Ride a horse (which was on the old one and i still have yet to do it!! )

2. Come up with an actual idea to open my own bookstore.... not just a dream in my head, like actually do it.

3. Start getting a little creative (ive been on pintrest everyday since i found it, and i really want to be one of those people who could do all that crafty stuff.)

4. Go to Europe... i have been dying to travel... i want to see Ireland,  i want to see Germany, Austria, France, Greece, Russia, Dubai, Australia shit i want to see Connecticut and Boston and the Northern Lights in Alberta too.... So im going to start a little mason jar and put money in there until i get it

5. Go to the TCM movie thing in L.A. where they play the classics... on some huge screen.... and meet the stars.... yes i definitely want to do that

6. Start trying out my Nonas recipes.... shes my namesake, i think i should be carrying on the tradition of awesome food. If i can figure out how to use the damn stove im pretty sure i could make it happen... how hard can it be to make pasta from scratch right?

That is all my friends! until tomorrow....
