Laurie's Life List

Things I want to do before I kick the bucket.  Buy the farm.  Push up the daisies, meet my reward.  Bite the dust, give up the ghost.  Take a dirt nap, meet my maker.  You get the point.  Oddly, I am fascinated by death.  Always have been.  Did a paper on euthanasia called "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" in high school.  I have included childhood dreams too.

1.  Move to San Francisco - Done
2.  Watch whales somewhere
3. Take a cruise to Alaska
4.  Walk all the streets of San Francisco - in progress
5.  Certify scuba diving - took the classes, passed all the tests, but couldn't go down past 8 feet cause of my ears.  MAJOR accomplisment tho, since I'm terrified of water, and the claustrophobia caused flashbacks of childhood sexual abuse.

Before the final curtain drops, or go six feet under.  Meet my demise, cash in my chips.  Meet St. Peter, go to heaven.
