You used the voice. You used the sad voice when I told you I wouldn't be writing a post until the long weekend was over, so I decided to whip up a quick little something for tonight.
I have only 21 days left for me to finish my "21 things to do before I'm 21" list . . . and sadly I don't think I will complete it. Here's the list--everything I have not completed is in red:
1. learn another
language
2. top of Eifel tower
3. ride on a gondola
4. graffiti
5. visit
Stonehenge
6. see a Broadway
play
7. Lake Havasupai
8. skinny dipping
9. go sailing
10. swim in the
ocean
11. humanitarian trip/Africa
12. swim with dolphins
13. straddle a
state line
14. run in some
event
15. go to a nude
beach
16. get up (and stay up) on water skis*
17. go to at least
2 foreign countries
18. Nauvoo temple/Carthage jail
19. walk the Golden
Gate bridge
20. go to a French
bakery
21. see a flower field -or- stay in a cute B&B
*I can't decide if this was completed
Granted, this list has been reformed/changed/adapted from the original. When I first wrote it I was about 13 or 14, and so I didn't really know what to write or what cool things were out in the world . . . so I felt it appropriate to change the list to fit other cool things that I did. So . . . maybe I will just do that. Although six of the seven that are still on my list are originals, so I feel lame for not completing those.
Whatever the case, I won't have another mile-marker birthday for 19 years, so I am going to live up the last three weeks before I become a true adult.
p.s. I woke up with this song stuck in my head and I am now going to bed with the same song stuck--that rarely happens:

The Timp hike didn't count as seeing a flower field? I don't know what those colory thingies were sticking up all over the place, then.
Sorry dad, I was kind of thinking more along the lines of tulip fields in Holland.
You are a dreamer. But somehow you have pulled off many a trip to far-away places. Perhaps Holland before 9/23 isn't impossible - at least in your imagination. Go to the National Arboretum or ask around, maybe there are fields of flowers nearby. Such a frufru.
como la fruta como el arbol.
Yes, you and your mother are very frufru. But she prefers lawn furniture to travel.
