Life List

So I found myself wanting to dig back to find my life list well here it is I was going to revamp /redo it but the more and more I thought I thought of it its PERFECT its me strange but true these are some of my wish I will do's . SO instead of retyping what I had I thought I will post what I already have.SO I did not edit any of what is listed below I worked on this list in 2010 and had intentions to post it on the New Year but still it sits and waits oh so lonely in my DRAFTS some of these did come off my and my hubby's bucket lists that we sat down and made together and then most of the rest is all me . To Post my LIFE List finally was encouraged by being a daily reader of Deeann and seeing her post her Life list made me revisit my own life list and as
Oprah says live your best life . So saying all that here it is people . So anything in blue is me now and the rest was history .

the new year is here SO lets Welcome TWENTY 11 by posting our wildest dreams , hopes and  life list . I have had a bucket list that Jeremy and I once upon a time put it together the two of us . But I want something alittle more maybe as reminder or a reflection of what we could do if we really wanted too .
So here is my life list in no particular order
learn to drive stick *run a 5 k and then a marathon *ride a street car in San Francisco*shoot a hand gun *go on a cruise with my family *learn to drive and operate a combine correctly *write everyday *donate my hair *swim with dolphins*ride in a hot air balloon *learn to make wine *visit Hong Kong *attend a luau @Hawaii *learn to really use my SLR camera *go parasailing *dog sledding *get a scrap book page published *volunteer at a soup kitchen during a holiday *send a birthday card to everyone I know and that means something to me for a year *try acupuncture*learn to braid my daughters hair*go on a  African safari*learn to really do the smoky eye make up and then really go out some where and party *make pasta from scratch *go to a psychic*meet Oprah *Buy a piece of art *make and eat home made ice cream with loved ones*create a outside oasis @ our farm for us to enjoy *learn to sew well and then make something that someone can actually wear *take a photography class*start and finish a 365 photo project *learn to golf and go out with my hubby *own a canoe and learn to row properly*give a $100 to a complete stranger *buy a cabin looking out to the water *build a tree house with and for my kids *throw a great surprise party for someone I love *go on a holiday for at least 7 days with my mom and sister somewhere hot *start a collection* raise chickens for fresh eggs *find and use a face treatment that will work for me and that I will use everyday too *to make our house a home completely that we will love to be in  and want to be in*Take my kids to a beach where the ocean  is * to have another baby or two (well one of those babies is on its way ....) *putting one of the many creative businesses I have in my head and going for it *Go on a all girls trip that last longer then a day or a weekend *snorkel* get my kids memory books started * Go on a honey moon with my husband some where exotic and just the two of us * Write a children's book and publish it *To get my craft studio up and running as a business* *Date night with hubby that actually makes the calendar and done once a month *
I am sure I will constantly add to this list and wonder why I put some of things on the list but something inside me wanted here to begin with and I will figure it all out one day or another . So here's to dreams , dares , challenges , fears , and stepping out  to whatever the future will bring .

Positive Energy IN

SO just breathe .
As the crazy Holiday season starts to approach very quickly I might add. I have a inner goal of keeping all negative energy away and just think positive . I must admit I am not good a filtering out negative energy and have a difficult time not let it effect me in any way and this year is going to be most difficult as we have Reno's going on too . I am pacing my self and making my LISTS but if everything does not get done this holiday season so be it . PLEASE remind me of this the week before Christmas when I freaking out cause I don't have everyone fave holiday baking done yet . My husband can be the first one to admit when I was pregnant during the holiday season( which was twice ) WHOA it was a little crazy I think I cried because no one had mackintosh toffee any where which meant I would be going out my Aunt Myra's marshmallow treats . But no worries my father in law did track some done that year for me although I was making them on Xmas eve too . I have already purchased the toffee this year . See its all about the little things to do so you do not go crazy !AS I mention I have been pregnant twice during the holiday season so alittle holiday cheer meaning a good stiff one could not help me filter out the bad stuff .
I am going to to stay positive during
-tree decorating
-Christmas baking
-Holiday parties
-Santa pictures
-family gatherings
-Christmas shopping
-parking the car
-snow shovelling
-dressing and undressing kids winter gear
- my husbands hockey watching
-winter driving
-dealing with other crazy holiday people

This year is going to be some what a important Christmas for us .
1. AS it will be a first Christmas on the farm for us
2. We have Dman home this year for Christmas
3. It will be Isabelle's first Christmas out of  the womb (she had a Christmas stocking last year )
so many exciting things to happen .

So here's my  holiday pledge
I am going to try my very best with all  the strength in my body to not freak out ,yell , curse , threat to kill , strangle or hurt anyone or anything and if at any time I really want to do any of the above I will count to up to ten and down to 10 and rethink the decision before I do so and if I feel the need to still do it I will go outside and yell as loudly as I can and rethink again .But as I make this pledge I please ask that everyone really does not try to test me .

So as I leave you with this Happy Holiday preparing and keep the positive energy in .
and as twenty 10 coming to a quick wrap  I am preparing my life list to be posted in the New Year and think all my other fellow blogs should join in the fun too . I am going to post my top 100 .

and in all hindsight the holidays are really about FAMILY and being TOGETHER !!
That's really all that is important to me .
