Oh Hi! You’re Still Here!

Time to change the subtitle of my blog, because the Mayan’s got it wrong, AGAIN! Silly Mayans…

Yes, I realize I have been MIA for six months, right after posting about how I was going to be blogging more.  But, see, there’s this thing called Real Life, and it took over in a crazy, crazy way.

I finished the show I was in and jumped right into another one for the holiday season, much to the disappointment to my husband and Furkids, who were missing me at night.  Then, sadly, 2 weeks before opening my mother passed away.  It was definitely a trying time. but I have been blessed to be surrounded by wonderful friends and family who have lifted me up and given me so much love and support these last couple of months. Also, getting to spend the last few weeks of my mother’s life with her, growing closer and sharing memories is a gift that I will cherish forever.

So, 2013 is here!  While I didn’t get all of my Big Adventure List done, I now have the opportunity to continue this adventure we call life!

This year marks my entry into my 39th year on this planet, so the Big Adventure List will have a new goal – to complete as many things on the list before Kristie can shout “Lordy, Lordy – Look who’s Forty!!”

And, new ideas have cropped up, so here is the List!!

Lose 30 lbs

Go on a road trip with friends

Go rock climbing

Hike part of the Appalachian Trail and camp out

Go to Space Camp

Explore the Grand Canyon

Complete a 5k or a Muck Ruckus Challenge

Go an entire day without using technology

Go Zip-lining

Volunteer at an animal shelter

Be in a film or TV show (even as an extra)

Learn another language

Hike part of the Appalachian Trail

Ride a mechanical bull

So, I have until April 24, 2014 to get this done – Wish me luck!!!

Can The Bert Show Help? Let’s Hope So!

This morning on my drive to work I heard Q100’s The Bert Show promoting their desire to help with folk’s “Bucket Lists”. Woot! So, I submitted my Big Adventure List to them, seeking their help on the following:

  • Go to Space Camp
  • Explore the Grand Canyon
  • Be in a film or TV show (even as an extra)
  • Ride a mechanical bull

Fingers crossed they pick me!!

1 Year and 1 Day To Go!

We all have “Bucket Lists” of things we want to do before we die.  Many times they are filled with crazy, fantastic ideas like “Win the Lottery” or “Visit Every Country In The World”.

Well, with the supposed end of the world coming on December 21, 2012, I got to thinking, “What are some conceivable things that I can accomplish in a year that will be fun and fulfilling – just in case the Mayans get it right?”  Thus was born – Kristie’s Big Adventure!

Over the next year and 1 day I am going to try to check off as many things off the following list as possible:

  • Start a blog (oooh!  First check mark!)
  • See “A Prairie Home Companion” in the Fitzgerald Theater
  • Go on a road trip with friends
  • Go rock climbing
  • Hike part of the Appalachian Trail and camp out
  • Go to Space Camp
  • Explore the Grand Canyon
  • Go Skydiving
  • Go an entire day without using technology
  • Go Zip-lining
  • Be in a film or TV show (even as an extra)
  • Learn another language
  • Ride a mechanical bull

This is, of course, a list in progress – I am open to adding to it!  Also, I get the feeling that a few of these can be combined.

So that’s my goal.  And come December 21, 2012, if I can’t manage to get a ride with John Cusack, then at least I’ll die having had a blast over the last 528,480 minutes!
