And do go on a cruise! I would go on another one in a heartbeat. I liked this one too, but like you, it wasn’t one I ran out and recommended.

There are so many things that I would like, but that is just life.

1- Go on a cruise
2- Go to Disneyworld
3- Have new furniture that all matches
4- Buy a home
5- Have another baby

These are the things that are pretty impossible at this point in time, but I’d like them all to be a reality someday.

I think it's hard coming up with lists of things I'd like to do, but I think I can come up with at least five! :) 1. Travel to Egypt...I love ancient historical sites. 2. Get my PhD just for me, not for $. (Ha, ha. Who does that?) :) 3. Read all of Rushdie's, Erdrich's, and Kingston's works. 4. See Starry Night by Van Gogh. (This has always been a dream, and last time I was in NYC, it was out on loan!) 5. This one's simple...organize my den & garage. I'm probably less likely to do this one than any of the others! LOL. Great post. I hope we can all achieve a few of the things on our lists! This book sounds intense.

I tried to think of a hundred things, but then it just became about adding things that I didn't really care about doing. So I pared it back down and now it stands at 41 things, to be added to as I see fit.

I'm glad to see it's not too heavy. The item "buy a bed" on your list intrigues me. It sounds like the book starts off with a bang! I’m glad to see it’s not too heavy.
