Thoughts4Thursday ...

I'm starting something a little new...

Gosh, do you feel like everything is new around here?

I have a lot of 
ideas 
thoughts
jokes 
{not necessarily funny}
criticisms 
and so on...

that, to be honest, can drive my husband a little crazy! lol!

So, y'all get to hear it ...
This Thursday is all about My List -
you know, my Life's To-Do List 
a.k.a.


- In no particular order -
  1. See Alaska. 
  2. Take my son to see Mickey Mouse in person.
  3. Tour a cheese, a coffee and a candy factory.
  4. Eat at one of Gordan Ramsey's Restaurants in England.

You know, making that list wasn't as hard as I thought it would be ... I guess because deep down, we are all somewhat selfish. I know I can be at times, anyway. I tell my husband all the time,

I wanna travel more...
I wish I had this...
My life would be so much easier if I had...
How cool would it be to do that...

At the end of the day, though, I have a pretty fantastic life!
My family and I are so blessed, I am in awe of it!
And, although I would LOVE to scratch all 31 things off my bucket list,
if I didn't, I couldn't help but still feel happy and fulfilled!

I guess that's what they call
contentment!
:)

Y'all have a great holiday weekend! I'm off on another trip to the Sam's ... another fabulous seashell wedding cake is in my near future!
