Here are ten things that I have always wanted to try but haven’t done.

1.  Spend a year touring Europe with a rail pass and a really fun traveling companion.

2.  Ride a century (that’s 100 miles!  On a bike!)

3.  Be thin, be happy and feel beautiful.

4.  Successfully finish a Ph.D. degree. (Hopefully in 2011!?)

5.  Do something for each of my dearest friends that they’ll never forget.

6.  Get a hundred dollars worth of $5.00 bills and give them to those people that stand at intersections with the “Please Help” signs.  My other thought is $5.00 packages of groceries.

7.  Make a difference in someone’s life and actually know that I did it.

8.  I never had my dream wedding.  I don’t really want that but I’d love to have a huge bash someplace wonderful to thank my husband for putting up with me and celebrate the fact that we really do make this work.

9.  See all of my heathen children healthy, happy and loved by someone they want to spend forever with.

10.  Find out why people put up with me. I really have no redeeming qualities.

And number 11 would be make Discover Indies a resounding financial success for me so that I can continue to seek and publicize great independent adventures.  I love to see the little guy get ahead.

No it’s not a meme and you don’t have to do it but if you need a blogging idea, go for it.
