Kick The Bucket With The Apron Queen…and a giveaway
The “apron queen” from An Apron A Day has invited fellow apron lovers to join in a round of Kick the Bucket. This is based on the movie “The Bucket List”. The list is made up of things you would like to do before you kick the bucket. It sounds like fun to me…not to mention how great it would be to win one of the vintage aprons being given away to random winners just for playing along. For all the details click on the “kick the bucket” button or the link above.
My list (not in a particular order and in exercising my right as a woman…it is subject to change):
1. get my house completely organized
2. be completely debt free
3. finish the quilt i started when my children were babies
4. teach my granddaughter to sew
5. hear Andrea Bocelli live
6. visit Irelandm Ireland, and Spain
7. drink coffee at the same table with my friend Faye
8. meet Heather and Molly in person
9. know for sure my loved ones know Jesus as Saviour
10. visit with my DS and his beautiful family…meet my new GS.
11. do something to make life better for someone going through a really hard time.
12. go on a care-free vacation in the mountains…any mountains…with my DH
Until next time…
13. reach and maintain my ideal weight goal
14. start or help start a HCV (Hepatitis C) support group in our city
If we did all the things we are capable of doing we would literally astonish ourselves.

What a great list! Umm, #1 is on my list too. Ever heard that Erma Bombeck saying: Cleaning the house while your kids live at home is like shoveling snow while it’s still snowing!
For your daily dose of vintage goodness & a bit of silliness, stop by Confessions of an Apron Queen
Erma is an old friend of mine.
She’s supplied me with good laughs (and a few cleansing tears) for years.
Sad thing is my kids are grown and out of the house…I have no one to blame for the clutter around this place but me. I am making great headway though. If I live to be 70 I might be able to mark through #1. I wonder if they can surgically remove the “pack rat gene”.
Thanks again for a sharing a great idea.
That’s a good list! I think finishing that quilt would be awesome!
“Muthering Heights”! What a hoot and a terrific pun. (I enjoyed that book…) My quilt is near completion…I’m in the actual quilting stage. I stopped for a while after Christmas and haven’t regained momentum. Glad to meet you…come again.
I like #7 in particular….. Get yer hiney over here, lol!
Hopefully I can do the same and you can accomplish it twice! hahaha
An organized home…we can dream together.
) Wonderful list!
Faye, at this rate we may have to meet in the middle…and two halves make a whole.
Carrie, it seems an organized home is a link in common to many women these days. I am “fastly” (I think I made that word up) and furiously gathering things to get out of our home.
This past weekend I gave a 5 piece place setting for 12 of china away to a young woman who was very happy to get it. I’ve still got plans of going through all my kitchen cabinets and, without sentiment, get rid of stuff I have too much of. I’ve decided I will start using the vintage glassware I’ve collected rather than let it collect dust.
There are bags of clothing destined for the Salvation Army sitting by the living room door. Boxes filled with books and video tapes I see no future need for will join the bags as soon as I get the umph to move them. I’m going room by room. I will mark #1 off if it doesn’t kill me first!
Glad to see you…getting ready to check your blog out now.
Wow, your house is going to be so spotless by the time I get there!
I started making a “bucket list” but upon looking at it, it seems to be so “all about me”. But then, it’s supposed to be, isn’t it? Oddly enough, most of it focuses on going away somewhere. Strange…. Definitely making me think, and it’s waaaay too early in the day to impose that on myself, rofl
((((hugs))))
Spotless! Not in this lifetime…but the clutter will be gone. I expect there will still be dry dog food and dog toys scattered from one end of our house to the other. Dust bunnies will still reign supreme with no fear of extinction. And I plan on hanging around. LOL. So you see spotless is totally out of the question!
I will be looking forward to your “bucket list”. (~ begin whine ~ I looked this morning and was disappointed not to find one. ~ end whine ~)
I’m trying to visit and read a bit about each person who posted on Apron Queen’s bucket list. Nice to meet ya.
Hey Julee Ann,
I’m glad to meet you! I’m trying to get around to all the participants of the Bucket List, too…but people are starting to discover it now at a faster rate than I can keep up with. ~ sigh ~ but I’m trying.
I’m on my way to your blog now.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I hope you get to take that vacation in the mountains with your husband really soon! I’m lucky in that my husband grew up in the hills of WV so it won’t be too hard to convince him we should retire somewhere in the mountains!!
Thank you for coming by, too. A mountain vacation would be such a blessing, but it has to wait for a little longer. My DH is not well and recovery is down the road a bit.
WV is beautiful…I grew up close enough to the Blue Ridge to visit often. I left part of my heart there.
I like #8! But it is truly wonderful to know that if the “meeting” doesn’t happen in this life, it WILL take place in Heaven one day because of the fact that Jesus Christ is my Saviour and yours, precious Judy!
And “What a day that will be….”
Judy – I love the list. In fact, you have inspired me to add a few things to mine..like an organized house which I hope to have checked off at the end of this summer. Teachers should never move during the school year – two times in two years no less. I am ready to be stuck for a while. ~Kelly
Argh, Kelly. I can imagine how difficult two moves in one year would be. I think if I were you, I’d add stay in one place for three or four decades. LOL.
Thank you for visiting. Come back anytime.
