Can you believe it??? We actually made it to Italy and had the time of our lives! We had a wonderful time together celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary AND celebrating my list bliss, as well.
Now, my list says that I will ride a moped in Tuscany. I did NOT ride a moped (called Vespas), but I did see amazing monuments, beautiful art, take cooking classes, drink wine, eat delicious food, and see vinyards...ALL IN TUSCANY! So I say that it counts and I'm marking it off my list.
I decided not to ride a vespa in Italy because I value my life. After visiting with a guide who leads the tours, he recommended that someone like me (not at all experienced in riding/driving a motorcycle or moped) not attempt to ride. His honesty was much appreciated and I had a glorious time even without riding one.
OK, reality check. I know I will not mark several items off my list in less than two weeks. I have not finished reading the Bible, I have not finished the Rosetta Stone discs, I have not lost weight, and I did not take a trip to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. I WILL shoot a gun and finish planning my funeral before August 5, however.
So, 16 out of 20 isn't too bad. I will post again on my 45th birthday and then this list bliss will be complete. That does NOT mean that I will stop making lists. It just means I will start a new adventure....who knows what's next?
