I am stealing this from someone else's blog, but I loved the idea so much that I felt compelled to do it myself. The Beach bucket list is kinda like the bucket list, only it's not for the dying. It's for the living. You create a list of all the things you wanna do in that year. Kinda like New Years resolutions, only not so controlling. It's really like "I can do it or not, no big deal". Right? No cause for guilt, no reason for blaming, or feelings of shame because all of it didn't get done. The Beach bucket list is really just a guideline of things you may or may not wanna do within that year. So here is my Beach bucket list for 2011.
1. Go out to eat at a nice restaurant once a month. by nice I mean dressing up
2. Clear all the junk/clutter from my house. ( this will lead to clearing the junk/clutter from my mind as well)
3. Go somewhere on vacation, not just in the house from one room to the next.
4. Stop taking on everybody else's stuff. ( I really do have enough of my own stuff)
5. Call my Mother at least once a week. ( I have really been lacking on this one, smdh)
6. Reach out to my little sister and brother from another mother, (it's not their fault I don't like their daddy very much)
7. Call my baby big brother at least once a month. (hmm, I probably could call more, but he talks way to much for my taste and plus he's always trying to get me to buy something ;~)
8. Go to see at least 2 movies this year on opening day....yeah right, I think I might be to cheap for that one
9. Lose 10 pounds. I've been saying this for a while now, It's time to start doing and not just talking about it
10. This is a big one for me.....QUIT SMOKING..oh gosh.. just saying it makes me nervous..but I got to do this one for me.
Ok, that's it. Not a big deal. All of them doable with little effort on my part. It's like the NIKE commercial, Just do it. The hardest part is getting started. Ok, I think I'll start with this pile of magazines on my bedside. They keep falling over,(yeah it's that high, man that is not sexy at all) and plus if I trash em, I can always put a nice sexy night stand there for holding actual stuff like my morning coffee..or say the remote for the tv. Sounds good to me.

So what have I done as far as my bucket list of 2011..here's the rundown
1. have not been out to a restaurant yet and it's what June? ok
2. Started clearing the clutter. I am making progress on that. Actually I will be posting some pictures of that in the near future.
3.Ok, the vacation thing may have to wait for another year. Would I like to go somewhere? hell yes, but economics will not allow it this year, so I am going to make my house/home a staycation relaxing place to chill.
4.The everybody else's stuff thing. WHHOOOA NELLY. How do you stop taking on everybody's stuff when they keep dropping it off at your door and just leaving it there. Ive been throwing out a lot of stuff lately. A lot. And I'm gonna write a whole post dedicated to that.
5. Call my MOM at least 1 a week. OK, I've made significate progress on this. Maybe not the 1 per week I promised, but I am moving closer to that goal.
6. Lil sis/brother. NO PROGRESS AT ALL. HMMM, just my stuborn ass.. what can I say?
7. Lil big brother.....yeah see #6
8. Movies... still waiting for something to come out that I want to go see..Tyler?
9. Pounds...hahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahah WETF?
10. See #9..
Ok that's it. I am a lazy ass. But I have made some steps toward making the things that are really important to me better. Now to just get some people outta my house.
***UPDATE***02/11/17 LAWD!!!!
Looking over my bucket list from 2010 and NOW IT'S 2017
What have I done from this list...?????
1. The restaurant thing is a no go. I eat out a lot at work, so going "out to eat" is really a non starter, But I am revising this for 2017, I will go to a new restaurant and try something new
2. The clutter is slowly coming under control. I had work done on my house in 2013 and a lot of the clutter was disposed of then. I still have some things to remove, but I am getting closer to a minimalist lifestyle
3. Vacations....LOL.. soo I did get a passport so I can travel. I am working on a vacation somewhere
4. Everybody's stuff... I have removed certain people from my life. That was a big relief
5. I call my mom at lest once a week sometimes more
6. Lil sis/brother..hmmmm, I'm stuck there
7. Lil brother from the same mother.. well we talk mostly on holidays and when he needs money
8. Movies......I am STILL waiting on something I think is worth $20
9. I am working out,, progress right?
10. I did quit smoking 5 years 5 months and 8 days ago.. yaay me!!
