Bucket List....FAIL!

Page: Twenty-Two



Soooooooooo...this is the post where I am supposed to show you how many things I have crossed off my bucket list in the past month, huh?
 
I just re-read my list and said to myself, "oh yeah! I forgot I was going to do that...
and that...and that"!
 
 I wish I had accomplished more over the past 30 days, but luckily I did manage to cross off a few of my items!
 
 
  • Get in shape & stick to an exercise routine ( ummm nope....my workout dvds have managed to hide themselves in a box in my closet.)

  • Plan a girls night out with my sisters & mom (this past month was so busy & we never managed to spend a night together! We need to do this soon though!)

  • Spend more time with my grandmothers (this one I did accomplish - I took the princess over to my grandmother's house for a surprise visit & my other grandmother stayed at my house for a few days while her home was being renovated)

  • Take Madyson to the beach (I don't think the princess was ready for the beach this summer - next year she will be splashing in the salt water for sure!)

  • Plan a weekend getaway (I am actually leaving for a weekend away this afternoon with my family and some friends! There's nothing like a nice weekend away in New England during the Fall)

  • Surprise the hubby with a date night (I talked about this one a lot....and thought about it some more.......then just never got around to doing anything - It's the hubby's busy time at work & we have a little princess at home so it's not as easy as it used to be to plan a spontaneous night out, but that's no excuse...I WILL PLAN A NIGHT OUT SOON!)

  • Organize my makeup and beauty supplies (yeah right! this one didn't happen either...booooo!)

  • Go to a winery (My sisters and I are planning a surprise trip to a local winery next month for our parent's anniversary....so hopefully I can cross this off my list soon!)

  • Eat out at a new restaurant (I didn't make it out to any NEW restaurants the last few weeks...ugh! I stink at this whole bucket list thing!)

  • Go to an outdoor concert (nope!)

  • Bring Maddy to the zoo (Why did I think I would have time for this over the last 30 days?!)

  • Try to make Beef Wellington (one of my hubby's faves) ( just last night I promised the hubby that I would attempt to make this for him - we are both obsessed with all of Gordon Ramsey's shows so every week he is reminded of the beef wellington that I have NOT made for him.)

  • Host a fun themed cocktail party (Although I have had a few mini parties that involved cocktails (sometimes too many), I have not had my grown up cocktail party where we drink pretty martini's in fancy glasses)

  • Bake a cake from scratch ( I did bake a cake, maybe two.....but not from scratch = FAIL!)

  • Be able to fit into my old jeans (FAIL! FAIL! FAIL!)

  • Start to play the piano.... again.... (well I now have a piano....so that's a start, but I have not started playing again....yet.)

  • Organize my closet (yeah okay....do you really think I did this one???)

  • Finally wear the heels my hubby gave me when I was 9 months pregnant (no AGAIN!)

  •  
     
    Well I wish I had done a better job on my list...but it's a new month & I will try harder to accompish more of my goals over the next 30 days :)

    My Bucket List...

        Today I'm trying my very first Link Up with my lil' sis Shann @
     Page Twenty-Two :)

    This day couldn't be more perfect for us to all announce what's on our lists considering that the term "Bucket List" was just added to Webster's Dictionary today ( I heard it on the afternoon news while I was writing my post!)

    Check it out:
    Bucket List gets added to the dictionary!
