Do any of you friends out there have a βbucket/life listβ of things you hope to accomplish? I started my so-called list a few years ago and have just now recently finished itβ¦yes, it took me that long to decide my top 50 things. π

What are some of the items on your list of things you hope to achieve/accomplish?
Great list! I'm working on mine now!
Great list. Especially love the cookbook idea!
I really like your list.
Can you climb the steps to the top of the Eiffel Tower? I thought it only took you to the 2nd floor and then the elevators are what got you to the top?
I love this! I have my 32 before 32 list. It is always so fun crossing things off.
ooo! Fun! I did a post on my bucket list last week. You should check it out π http://hanlonfamily2.blogspot.com/2012/01/bucket-list.html
These are so great! I made a 101 in 1001 list, but I almost wish I would have just done a smaller list like you. 101 things is a lot! But, I love your list! Hopefully I'll be getting married in the next year or two… You can plan MY wedding from start to finish! π
Great goals! =) I have a 101 in 1001 and I have until May 2013 ( I think) to finish some things =) You should definitely do the Harry Potter series – LOVE LOVE LOVE! =)
I made my list just a few weeks ago, but it was my 30 before 30 list!
You should drive up to Franklin this summer and watch a movie at their drive-in. This was one of me and my hubby's first dates! π
You can be my wedding planner!! π
Oh fun!
a calligraphy class! so good!
Love this! I may have to make one big "Must-Do" list too!!
What an amazing list! I have a list of 30 things I want to do before I'm 30, but with only 2 1/2 years left it seems pretty daunting. I think a bucket list is a great idea! I'm going to have to copy you.
You have inspired me to post my Life list which has a few of the same as yours! Love your list!
Congratulations on the baby! I love your blog so much!

Wonderful list! Loved reading this! You & I have a lot in common π
I can help with you out with number 11 π lol. ONE DAY!
Awesome list! I recently posted mine on my blog, runningofftheritas.blogspot.com π There is a tab that links to it from the home page.
Great list, I may have to add some of your stuff to mine. I need to do a post like this. Thanks for the inspiration!
I have a bucket list too! I think it's so important to have one! That's what life is about, right?! π Thank you for sharing yours.
Love your list!!! I have always wanted to do several of these things as well! Loved reading it Natasha!
Maybe some post baby Louboutin shoes?!?! Have a good weekend!
I love a lot of these! I have a list on my blog called my 30 before 30. I really hope that I can cross a lot off my list as well.
BTW-How amazing was Lion King on Broadway? Its still my favorite show.
Get the Harry Potter books on your iPod from iTunes and listen to them while exercising, cleaning, doing chores… they will change your life!
I love bucket lists. I actually just posted mine that's specific to California (since I recently moved here). Zip-lining is actually one of those things! it seems exhilerating but one of those once-in-a-lifetime things worth doing.
And I thought I was the only one needing to convert my Disney movies from VHS to DVD!! That makes two of us!! Currently All I've got converted are: The Little Mermaid and The Parent Trap (the original not that crap with Lindsay Lohan) π We have more than a few things that are the same! I may need to do this as a blog post! Happy weekend gorgeous!!! Hugs!
I love your list. They are totally doable things, nothing far fetched. Macy's Parade was on mu list too..crossed it off in 2005. Italy is AMAZING!!! I went with my cousin, hubs is Italian..cant wait to go back with hubs. π
Great post!
Love your list!! I have one as well and do a Bucket List Year In Review every December on my blog. Feel free to check it out!

Great list! I love these, and have started my own, although I only have like two things on it π
