Bucket List

Sometimes I think that I possess some mild and alternative form of ADHD. I'm never satisfied with settling, and I'm constantly finding new hobbies and endeavors to feed my need for new experiences. My bucket list is constantly being readjusted each time I foresee myself coming within reach of checking off all of the empty boxes. Fortunately for me, I have a husband who claims to whole heartedly support all my wild goose chases! *wink*

Oh well, live life to it's fullest right?
