twenty-one

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:
