Bucket List

I don't know why this Monday is so weird. Anyone else feel like this Monday is just all sorts of oddly wrapped up weirdness?

So, in my oddly wrapped state I am having a "what should I do with my life" moment and have decided that now is the perfect time to start my bucket list.

Why not? Right? Right.

1. Write a Lifetime movie for woman that is (a) based on a true story (b) has one scene where a woman cries in a kitchen (c) has a guest star appearance for the court trial (d) has a man getting hurt somehow, preferably in a horrible pool incident

2. Learn how to make pasta from scratch. And cannolis.

3. Go to a nude beach clothed.

4. Go to Italy. Kiss the ground, meet my relatives, and see where my mom grew up.

5. See Neil Diamond, Tom Jones, and Journey (again) in concert.

6. Play Lady Macbeth.

7. Get a tattoo. Somewhere on my body...

8. Pay off my loans so fast that my lender thanks me with a handwritten card.

9. Have an insanely romantic moment with someone as "Unchained Melody" by the Righteous Brothers plays in the background.

10. Sing a rock song like Janis Joplin but start off the song by saying, "This one is for you Momma." And end with "I love you Milwaukee!"

Forgot that I LOVE this song WAY too much

Wanna thank your mother...

What it means to go home...

-My dad will make me watch some sort of sports event on TV. Today, he had to let me know Saint Mary's was playing on channel 43.

-My mom will take me out to dinner or lunch and ask me if I know any good guys.

-My mom will then try to define what single quality of mine deflects men like UV sunglasses do harmful rays.

-My dad will call me from Costco to see if I like ______. Today he seriously needed to know if I like pork ribs.

-I will drink way too much coffee over breakfast.

-I will schedule meal dates with my aunt, my grandmother, my friends from third grade, my friend from college, and any other lucky SOB who can squeeze in my limited day visit.

-I will drive down the 101 and get horrid flashbacks of me in high school in my catholic schoolgirl uniform. And any flashback of me in high school is usually not the most pleasant.

-I will see a psychic on Ventura Blvd. I will ask about work, my art, and some guy-in that order. Last psychic had to point out "how Capricorn" that was of me.

-My parents will have a serious conversation about theater that usually goes...."What are you going to do with your future? How much do theater people make? What does that mean?" They usually get very quiet at this point and then look at me like I am possessed.

-I will watch an unhealthy amount of "Jon and Kate Plus Eight," "Deadliest Catch," "Intervention," and "Charmed" cause my parents have cable.

-My mom will read me my horoscope from the Ventura Star. Today's said I had two stars. My mom suggested I stay in the house with a day rating like that.

-I will stare at photos in the hallways and think "My god...I looked like that when I was 1/2/3/4/10/16/18?"
