An awesome past top ten list for the #ResurrectionBlogfestII

Mina Lobo has come up with the brilliant idea of resurrecting one of our blogs from the past year. It gave me the opportunity to look back on my blogs and see what I’d written. Some of them made me smile while others made me say, “Oh my.” Needless to say that my blogging has much improved since my first tentative posts.

The blog I have chosen was one that made me laugh and had nothing to do with romance or books, but everything to do with life (kind of). It was posted on December 21st 2013. Didn’t get a lot of hits, but I had fun with it.

10 things on my ‘Leave Empty Bucket List’ 

 There are some things in life that people desire to achieve and when you hear that they have accomplished their goal you say to yourself, “Good for you, but you will never see me doing that. Ever!”

   I have compiled such a list. Some things that are great for other people to accomplish, but I would never want to do it myself before I die.
Note that these are in no particular order.

1.  Run a marathon, 26.2 miles, not even a half marathon (I may be willing to try a 5 K though)

2.  Bungee jump (skydiving was fun), it’s the aspect of hearing the string go snap just before I go splat that I want to avoid

3.  Climb Mount Everest (sub-freezing cold weather conditions and extreme physical exertion does not sound like one of those must do things to me)

4. Pose in Playboy (or Playboy Plus Size if it exists)

5. Eat cat- like meow, meow (delicacy for some cultures, but the thought of it makes my skin crawl)

6. Be a one hit wonder (A minimum of two hits for me)

7.Take the Polar Bear Plunge (swimming in freezing cold water-not me)

8.Be on a reality TV show (unless I was the editor and I looked great in all scenes)

9. Push out a set of triplets through my vagina (like Phoebe on Friends)

10. See a ghost manifested in front of my face (can we say run like the wind?)

People change as they grow, so perhaps one day I may cross one of these things off my list and attempt to do (highly unlikely though).

Is there something positive on you your ‘Leave Empty Bucket List’ that you would like to share?

I'm headed over to check out what other people have decided to resurrect today.

    I'm completely with you on every one of your Leave Empty Bucket List choices. I've never understood why people want to do those things. Mount Everest? No thanks. Give me a five-star hotel with a bunch of restaurants to choose room service from and some great movies on TV, and I'm a happy camper! :-)

      Lol, Lexa. That five-star hotel you mentioned sounds great. I'll add that someone else is footing the bill.

    I had a friend who bungee jumped in Australia, my stomach churned just listening to her. And my daughter runs marathons, yuck. I'm lucky I can walk some days....great resurrection post, Nana!

      Thanks, Cathy. I'd do a walkathon for sure, but only if it was a mile or two.

    Fun post, Nana - I'm with you on most of them, except the ghost, of course :)

      I'm pretty sure you'd ask the ghost to bring some of its friends to visit you.

    No bucket list here - living in the moment...

    LOL, Nana, I think I'm with you on never wanting to do any of these. I'm impressed you went for skydiving! Thanks for this fun post in my Resurrection 'hop! :-)

    The only one on your list I'd want to do would be to vaginally birth triplets. I've actually had recurring dreams about being pregnant with and giving birth to quads, and I am getting older, so I might really end up having multiples if I ever have kids!

      Those dreams are telling you that you might. Keep up the hope, Carrie-Anne.

    Love this list! The idea of a non-bucket list is great! I totally agree on not running a marathon. I've never been much of a runner. I have mad respect for people who can do it, but it's definitely not for me!

      Thanks L.G. I respect them too, and would love to want to do it, but it won't happen.

    Great list- and I'm with you on every one save for number two as I myself would love to try bungee jumping. (Granted, I have no immediate plans to do it, but if the opportuinty presented itself I wouldn't turn it down.) Everything else, though? Yeah, I'll pass.

      Lol. Everyone's list is different. Interesting how you aren't making the opportunity present itself, though.

    Haha I can see why you had fun with this post. 10 things i'll never try. What a fun list. I may even try this myself :)

    This is such a great list! From climbing Mt. Everest to having triplets at my age, I agree that it's best to keep the bucket empty!
    Nice to meet you Nana!

    Everything else, while difficult and somewhat uncomfortable, is in reach.
    You're gonna have to count me out for #9, though.
    Sorry.

      Lol, Al. Having any kind of baby would make you the most famous man in the world.

    Fun list! I'm not one for high risk sports. The only thing close I actually enjoy is skiing, though I only go down the greenest, shortest, easiest of trails. No skydiving, bungi jumping, ice/rock climbing, and I most definitively hate reality shows. =)

      I've never been skiing, but it's on my list of things to do one day, even though I hate snow.

    I love this idea for a blog hop and I love your Resurrection post!

    We have a lot in common cause I agree with everything on your list--except I wouldn't do the skydiving either! LOL

    No 2 is what I would like to do (Bungee Jump)
    No 10 is not a good idea (when you really see one)

      If you decide to bungee jump make sure to post a picture. I'd like to see your expression right before the rope yanks you back up.

    None of the above for me, Nana. No way. Not even No 9,being a mother and all!
