what i want to do when i grow up
Thursday, Aug. 23, 2007 - 7:28 a.m.

I'm sad today. I want my daughter back. I want to love her (I do love her, but I don't like her right now). I want to kiss her goodbye on the cheek. I want to not be so angry with her. I want to wrap my arms around her and make everything ok. I want her to care enough about her family to do the right thing. I want her to love her son half as much as she seems to love her daughter. I don't think she particularly likes him, and when I see that it breaks my heart. I want so much more from her then I think she will ever be able to give. How does a person let go of that? She expects certain things from me as a mother, and I expect certain things from her as a daughter. I think I pretty much live up to my end of the bargain. And maybe that is a lesson I haven't learned yet in parenting, never expect anything in return.

So... I'm tired of thinking about all of that today. I was just waking up this morning, lounging in bed for a few minutes and started thinking about what I want to do in my lifetime. What do I want to do before I die? I am going to think about 100 things I want to do in life. Here goes...

I want to
1. own a harley
2. ride said harley across the country
3. run the bolder Boulder
4. travel to Greece
5. travel to Germany again
6. feel skinny
7. learn how to take great pictures
8. become computer literate
9. semi-retire early
10. so I can work in a gift shop
11. live in a house in the mountains
12. renovate an old house
13. take a road trip on old route 66
14. become a vegetarian
15. get a full back tattoo
16. scuba dive
17. ride in a hot air balloon
18. ride on a yacht
19. learn my family history
20. see His Holiness the Dalai Lama
21. learn yoga
22. ok, this is it for now. not even close to 100. I must not be feeling very ambitious right now.
