The stipulation is, I have to list seven things about myself. So... I thought I'd list the last seven things on my bucket list. Not that I'm planning on bugging out anytime soon. I still have lots to do. But here they are....
7.) Go on a pick with Mike and Frank. (Don't tell me you don't watch American Pickers.)
6.) Spend a week in Washington, DC, with an expert guide who will take me/show me every bit of history in that city that only an expert guide would know. (Does this one make me a nerd?)
5.) Own a two-story, tricked-out, MTV Cribs-worthy cabin on the lake.
4.) Have a one-on-one conversation with Mr. John Grisham in which he finds me intriguing. (That man is intimidating, isn't he?)
3.) Cook with Paula Deen.
2.) Have a "girlfriend" dinner with Beth Moore.
1.) (This is a BUCKET LIST, right? I gotta go out big.) Become a best-selling author who truly helps people. Which reminds me of a conversation I had today with Belle. It went as follows:
Belle: Mommy, when are you going to stop working on your chapter book?
Me: Not much longer.
Belle: And then what?
Me: Then we are going to try to find someone to publish it.
Belle: (Pause to think.) So you have to let them read it and see if they like it?
Me: Yes.
Belle: And if they do, they'll make it into a real book and put it in stores.
Me: Yes.
Belle: (Even longer pause to think.) But if it's really awful, they'll just throw it in the trash?
Me: (Sigh.) Yes, Belle.
Belle: I hope it's not awful.
Me: Me, too, Belle. Me, too.

What is your book about???
Last winter, my inlaws came from Arkansas and we spent several days in Winter Park. We took them snow-tubing while there. My mother in law was a HUGE sport and after a really, really, terrible time getting UP the hill she slid down in a tube with her grandchildren. When we got to the bottom, she quipped: "Now I can cross that off my bucket list". I nearly peed my pants.
