Things I’d Like To Do Someday
Life goes kind of quick and watching some people I know be confronted with the end being imminent has gotten me thinking. Here are some things I have thought I would like to have done before I’m through here. Some of them are not realistic, but one can always dream, right? I’m sure others will come to me once I finish this post!
1. Have my palm read. I know I might not like what they tell me, but I have always thought it would be so interesting to see what a palm reader might say about me. Actually it might freak me out a little!
2. Ride in a hot air balloon. When I was in middle school I did a project on hot air balloon travel and have been intrigued ever since. It seems like it would be so awesome to float along, but it would have to be at one of those cool hot air balloon convention things where there are like 20 of them in the sky all at once!
3. Have my hair cut by Jonathan Antin. Have you SEEN him in action on Blowout? He gives good hair. I LIVE for good hair days and I don’t have many of them.Â
4. Walk on the red carpet at the Academy Awards or the Emmy Awards. With the celebrities. And attending the after-parties would be cool, too. Rubbing elbows with Jennifer Aniston or Patrick Dempsey? Yummy.
5. Go to the Oprah show. Just once. And if it could be one of her shows about her Favorite Things, well that would be just peachy!
6. Build a house with Extreme Home Makeover. Or Habitat for Humanity. This just sounds cool to me. I mean, what a big way to make someone’s life a better place. Everyone should have a Home Sweet Home.
7. Learn to Country Line Dance. I had the chance when I went to Nashville last summer as we walked past the Wildhorse Saloon, and I didn’t do it. Cuz no one else wanted to. I hate that peer pressure thing. I should have ditched them and done it myself. Dumb! Of course being in a saloon in Nashville alone late at night, well……maybe not such a good idea. Actually I would like to learn any kind of dance after watching Dancing with the Stars!
8. Go white water rafting. The tamer rapids would suit me fine. It just seems like it would be a thrill. It doesn’t have to be death defying or anything.
9. Breast augmentation. I know this sounds like a wierd one and probably pretty shallow, but really, I just do not have them. Boobs, I mean. I know it shouldn’t be important, but it sucks being small. Really it does. It would probably be less expensive to invest in a boob job than pay for all the Wonder Bras from Victoria’s Secret that I’ve had to invest in over time. I wouldn’t want huge breasts. Just something respectable. I’d give my right arm to look like a Pussycat Doll for just one day. Well, maybe not my right arm. Maybe the left one.
10. Shop at the Pike Place Market in Seattle. Between the food, the flowers and those guys that throw the fish around, oh my gosh, it’s gotta be so neat. But then I would have to have a place out there to put the flowers and cook the food. Okay, I’ll take that, too.
It’s your turn. What is something that you would like to do someday? Come on, let’s hear it……please share!

I’ve actually done 9 and 10 on your list. Both were great. 9 surpassed 10. Palm reading thing, I’ve always chickened out because when I was little a teenager told me I had a short life line and I’m afraid she was right. I would so line dance with you and build a habitat house.

Michele sent me to visit you, Kim.
Boobs are certainly nice to have. Clothes look a lot nicer. Personally I think it’s more about the nipple than what’s behind it but there’s a variety of opinion on that subject! LOL
I’ve been up in a hot air balloon but only for a short ride not anything very long. Much more fun than that–at least for me–was being in a helicopter during extreme manuvers. National Guard and Army Reserve pilots, back before all this Gulf action–had to do a lot of flying during Summer camp to keep their accredidation so they’d have volunteers ride in the back at times while they were flying so the load would be right. Amazing stuff!
As for what I’d like to do soon–I guess a long trip to Alaska would be near the top. I’d love to spend a few weeks there kayaking up a river. Australia would be even nicer but too expensive, I’m afraid.

Kim, I would love to have a breast reduction from cup C to A! yes, I’d love to. But I know I never will because I am too afraid to undergo surgery.
I want to visit London. I want to go shopping and sightseeing. Maybe someday. And I’d like to have a vinyard in Tuscany or Provence, either one…dreams are for free, right? have a nice weekend, Michele sent me!

Hi from Michele’s. Some of those seem very easy to achieve – go for it, but don’t do the boob job. Natural of any size is always best, enhanced is horrible.

michele sent me.

Fun list! The only ones on the list I come close to…. walking the red carpet with celebrities… I once walked a red carpet at a premiere with Tina Turner and Phil Collins in NYC. But if you want to get close, you can walk the red carpet at the Kodak (Oscars) the weekend of the awards. Tourists are allowed to walk around there.
I grew up in Seattle, and have been to Pike Place Market many times. It’s fun.
Michele says hello!

Him Kim, thanks for the visit and comment. I enjoyed reading your list; I have had a psychic reading (not palm), I’d love to do the hot air balloon thing and the Academy Awards after parties and the Oprah show. I used to think I wanted a boob job. I was very small until I was in my 40’s and then they got bigger by themselves. So be careful – some of them don’t turn out well and you have a lot of problems later.

Hi again, Kim. Michele sent me to see you again. Imagine that!
You should do the Oprah show thing. That’s pretty easy to do. Just get tickets online and then go to where she’s doing the show. Nothin’ to it, y’know. Is she still doing most of her shows in Chicago?

Here from Michele.
Well, I think I might like to have a reduction, yes.
I’d like to go to Europe again, perhaps Germany, Ireland, Switzerland.
I’d like to know what it REALLY feels like to have a man love me…for sure, absolutely, no doubts ever.

[...] Now here’s where I tell you why I am so fucking pissed, besides the fact that she made an embarrsing scene. Not once, during the entire time this person was grilling me about my weight, did she, nor anyone else for that matter, bother to ask me how I felt about my weight. That should matter, right? I mean, it is my body, right? Had I been asked, I would have said that I do, in fact, like the shape I am in.  Do I have things about my body that I wish I could change? Sure. I don’t know many people who don’t. But my weight is not one of them right now. I like being thinner. And quite frankly, what I think is what is most important. I was disrespected. [...]
