My Bucket List

Everyone knows what a bucket list is, but in case you are not "everyone" - a bucket list is a list of things you want to do/experience/see/etc. before you "kick the bucket". Hence, a "bucket" list. I've been far too focused on how much work sucks, and whining and complaining and blah, blah, blah. I'm burnt out on it. So, I'd like to take a few moments and create my very own bucket list. Hopefully I can start focusing a little of my attention on these things and start to accomplish some of the things I want to accomplish in life. Some I may never achieve but they are dreams of mine. Maybe one day I'll look back at my very crossed off list and smile at all the memories I've made (or how silly I was to think they were important).


So, in absolutely NO particular order...


Goldie's Bucket List: 1. Have a baby - I especially want a daughter but a boy or girl would be amazing 2. Go to Europe particularly France and Germany 3. Become fluent in one foreign language. 4. Learn to paint 5. Become professionally trained in photography. 6. Own at least one pair of very expensive, very stylish designer shoes 7. Fill my passport 8. Learn to drive a motorcycle 9. Play an instrument 10. Get back down to my HS weight of 135lbs and stay there. 11. Find my soul mate & have a great marriage and relationship (I truly believe I've completed half this one) 12. Run a marathon 13. Have a successful garden with fruits and veggies 14. Get my credit back up into good standing and have a high credit score. 15. Have a house in the country with a BIG yard and no neighbors 16. Own horses 17. Go to Hawaii 18. Get a complete makeover by a professional 19. Learn patience 20. Travel the US coast to coast. 21. Take my children to Disney World 22. Take a vacation every year with my family 23. Meet my biological paternal grandfather 24. Be the "Fun Aunt". 25. Be a good christian 26. Go sky diving. (Isn't this a cliche bucket list item - haha) 27. Be complete caught up and up-to-date on my scrapbooking AS WELL AS have a scrapbook for each of my children. 28. Finish my sister's wedding scrapbook. 29. Be successful professionally - be able to take care of myself financially, be good at what I do, have an impressive title, etc. 30. Take dance lessons. 31. Get really good at karaoke. 32. Learn to decorate cakes. Fondant and all. 33. Learn to do nails. 34. Meet a celebrity (and not get star struck) 35. Always be satisfied with what I have and never dwell on what I don't. 36. Find a successful way to make a little money on the side (or heck even a full blown career) doing something I love. 37. Become a super motivated person who never procrastinates.

I'm sure I'll add more thing to my list as life goes on... But these are a few things (some kind of random) that I want to put on my "Been There Done That" list.

[Im]Patiently Waiting for Baby Allen - 4 weeks to go!

I started out this pregnancy looking like this: And here I am at [almost] 36 weeks: Holy crap, I sure hope that tiny tummy comes back to me after this baby is born...and I lose a couple chins...and a couple pounds off the cheeks, both sets. I think I'll leave my hair long though. Not cute in that first picture. Anywhozit - 4 weeks to go!! Yay, I'm so excited. I had my doc appt and BPP yesterday. Baby didn't want to do his breaths at the BPP so we had to do an NST (Non-Stress Test). Basically, I sat in a big comfy recliner while they hooked the monitors up to my belly and recorded his heartbeat/movements and my contractions. I dozed off a couple times while I was sitting there listening to his heartbeat beep...it was rough. He passed the NST with flying colors - Dr even told me they could use my print out for textbooks because my results were EXACTLY what they should look like. (My child's perfect already - jealous?!) Next week is his growth scan [possibly his last one] ...

29 Weeks

Here I am at 29 weeks exactly. I'm at +24 lbs which is a little higher than I would like, but after a week of crappy eating on vacation, I won't complain too much. My blood pressure is good and just got word that I passed my glucose test. Yay! My emotions get the better of me a lot this pregnancy, but I don't know if its all pregnancy related or if some of it is just me trying to work through a lot of emotional issues - either way, trying to hold it together some days has been rough. I just wish I was able to enjoy being pregnant...but alas, its just not meant to be. Trying to enjoy it as much as possible, all the little kicks and wiggles and special time with Beckett. Also, trying very hard to stay focused on eating healthy and walking as much as I can, although, I can't walk far anymore without the belly cramping. Still trying to keep from gaining that 50 lbs like I did last time ;) Beckett is extremely active, and according to the baby center emails I get, he...

Romping In The Bluebonnets

This weekend was our weekend in Texas for J's buddy's wedding. So, J, j, Gemma and myself all loaded up, and we drove down Thursday night (overnight) to BCS to spend some time with J's family too. I, of course, have never been down to Texas in the spring, but the wildflowers are GORGEOUS, especially the bluebonnets. It just looks like they exploded all over the country side! They were everywhere. J's mom wanted us all to take some pictures in the bluebonnets so we drove out to the side of a road in the middle of wherever and took some pics. They turned out great. It was quite entertaining to get the kiddos (J's nieces were there too) to cooperate and the puppy, not to mention J's mom losing her balance to kneel down with her grandbabies . And she had to wrangle all three kids and a puppy to take J & I's pic together...God bless her. It was NOT easy. Ha! The most adorable picture of them all was of my little baby girl: How precious is this picture?...
