Be for I die Lists

I have finally started my list of things before I die. I am putting them in one of those diaries I couldnt figure out what to do with. I am making sure to leave room for the date that I accomplish it.
At least this way I cant say oh well I dont know what I want to do in my life. I have no excuses anymore. Some of the things that I want to do are scary (such as ride a bull) others are more simple (like plant a rose garden). Then there are those things that are doubtful (open a pet rescue).
I dont know how many of these things I will accomplish in my lifetime. If I dont try its nobodys fault but my own. Maybe this List will make a difference.

The question we all need to ask ourselves is "Are you Living or Existing?

I am NOT just a housewife…

I may be a housewife but if you think about it I am not quite a housewife. I am a personal Assistant/Manager, a chauffer, an accountant, a chef, a cleaning person, and a personal shopper as well as a secretary.

I may not get paid hourly (or even at all) but still I do the things that people do for a lot of money. It can be an exhausting job. Especially when your husband is as forgetful as mine. It’s a job that I seem to be made for. I enjoy my home even though I am not the greatest house keeper but I am learning.

Eventually I will be more if Jesse does what he wants to do and starts to ride bulls and bareback broncs in the rodeo. (I will get paid for that) It’s a good job for me since I have problems with people. Especially those who like to hug and you don’t know them (grrrr).

So as you can see I have an old fashioned mentality. I don’t know why I have this mentality but I do. Its just who I am and I cant change that. Not that I would. Its just some thing that works for me and Jesse. It’s a life that we both want.

Kitchen

Have you ever wanted to just get rid of everything in your kitchen and just start over. I do... Unfortunately I am not able to just toss everything and get new. But I can still change some at a time. I just have to make a plan. I have a new cast aluminum pan, and baking pan, as well as some kitchen towels that my Great Aunt Jackie sent me the other day. I really like the cast aluminum pan and I want to be able to do more. I need a fridge and new stove. I also need to make a list of everything I want. I am thinking about repainting the kitchen to a brighter color. Its currently brown and white... yucky. It aslo needs a new linoleum floor. But at least it has a pantry. I am thrilled about that althought the shelves need to be redone. But everything will get done some time.

Start of a New Diary

Well its the end of an era. Ok not really an era but still. My old diary is done filled up. Time to move on.
The only problem with this is that I have Four blank ones to choose from. But I have decided to chose the Brown leather one.
I have hopes that this new diary will be filled with joy not hurt and that I will be able to write in in daily. I am still going to write my letters to Desiree, but I am hoping for more for it. I need some more ideas on how to keep it fun. If I had an instant camera I could add photo's (or at least a printer).
I love the start of a new diary. I believe that everyone should keep a diary on paper. You never know when it can come in handy.
