The Bucket List meme!

I was Stumbling around on Firefox today, and Stumbled across a blog I thought was rather good, Freaky Frugalite. She had a writeup on a woman named Irena Sendler, a Polish woman who saved over 2,500 Jewish children from the Warsaw ghetto and the Hollocaust tragedies in WWII. http://freakyfrugalite.com/irena-sendlerowa-german-heroine/

I decided to look around the rest of her blog after that, and found a bucket list meme! Of course, it’s a list of things to do before you kick the bucket. You bold the ones you’ve done. So, here goes nothing!

11-7-2009 Part 2

So i msut have written the earlier post in the AM – early, early AM – so here’s the rundown of what happened today.

Not much, got level 20 in Farmville on Facebook. Think the boyfriend and myself are moving up to Delaware in a few months. Can’t really afford to live in Tennessee much longer, and he can’t find a job down here. Dinner was yummy, honey chicken. Ran Heroic UK with the boyfriend, Aes and his wife, and Shadowhealer’s hunter in World of Warcraft. Also ran my warlock in OS 10 for the first time and got her tier gloves, yay! Wasn’t THAT much of an upgrade, but still it’s tier gear.

Been achy today. My head and neck have been bothering me. Probably just due to stress. I really need to relax, but that’s hard lately with everything going on. On the plus side, I’ll get to have my baby girl back – my 3 year old Aussie Shepard! I miss her SO much, but there was no way we could afford to have her in Tennessee. Things are changing, hopefully for the better!

First blog, first post, first jump into online popularity (at least, in my own mind – let me enjoy it!)!

Okay, so not very popular. Hi Mom. She probably won’t even read it either, so I’ll just ramble. What does one do on a blog? Journal? Deep inner thoughts? Posting about my Farmville account? Maybe a little bit of all.

The main reason I started this here blog, is the fact that I have too many thoughts and ideas running through my head. i need to get them out! Writing seemed the best idea. Now, I would have just started an actual paper journal, but where’s the fun in that (not to mention I’m weird and hate writing in brand new journals, I hate to think I’d ruin them). So hopefully there will be a post every day of my going ons, what’s on my mind, all that type of junk. More than likely, it won’t go anywhere, but hopefully I’ll make a few new friends along the way too!

Here’s to blogging, and realizing however insane you may think you are, someone is always out there who’s just as crazy as you are.
