Truly Everlasting

So... some of you may recall the unveiling of the ever-so-clever "Everlasting Bucket List." Some of you may even have been thinking, "Wait, wasn't the idea that Ami would be working toward accomplishing those goals, all the while replacing them with new goals? What's the hold-up?"

Short answer: I'm lame.

Long answer: Some of these goals are much more impossible than they seem. Let me give you a few examples of the roadblocks along my way.

1) I've been growing poorer with each passing month. With just this one excuse I can wipe out "Take a dance class," "Play the harmonica," "Visit New York," "See Versailles," "Get a Passport," and "Get a massage."

2) I live in the desert and it's summertime. This removes "Snowboard," "Go rock climbing," and "Camp in the mountains."

3) A few of them are very obscure. I've done some serious searching and have not found any record of a "Gunther" anywhere in the state of Arizona.
Also, apparently the only places to legally hold a koala are actually in Australia. Did I mention I'm broke?!

4) Some are just out of my hands. This includes "Meet a celebrity," and "Win some money." Although a girl at church this week told us all how the singer of Linkin Park walked into Subway the other day. I go there all the time! I guess I'm just one of those people that are in the right place at the wrong time. *Sigh*

That pretty much covers them all... except for "Eat Sushi." The problem with this one is that when I decide it's dinnertime, I almost never think about raw fish. As soon as I find the motivation to choke down some slimy seafood, you'll all be the first to hear about it.

All in good time. I guess I just didn't expect the list to be quite so everlasting!

Uh even more reason to come to Utah. Rock Climbing, snowboarding, camping??? Is there a more perfect place? I think not!

You, me, Kona Grill Sushi, next week.

Ami, my future journalist, I don't think you really live in a desSert!

This is very funny since I recently corrected your father for writing that we had a yummy desert for dinner Sunday. Sorry you are not changing your bucket list as much as you hoped. Sometimes these things just take more time (and money) than we plan.

I would rather live in a dessert.

Jess - That actually sounds lovely. My roommate is trying to talk me into going to Ra...

Have I mentioned I know a Scott GUNTHER? He's in New Mexico right now. Shall I send him your way?

Mom said...

YES!? to the above mentioned idea!

I was going more for Gunther as a first name, but I may have to settle on this one...
