Bucket List Topic for 11-20-15

Please feel free to snag the icon above...it was just a quickie and I might change it later (which is why I haven't perma-linked it yet).

I'm going to try to make it a habit to post the upcoming topic for Bucket List Friday on Wednesday so that anyone who wants to join me can have time to organize a list. Just remember to limit your list to five items but feel free to be as wordy or brief as you please. If you want to add pictures and/or videos, then all the better! If you will link to your post in my Friday Bucket List post comment section, I'll make sure to visit every blog participating.

I had quite a few people last week say that they had favorite bands they would like to see but that their bands were either no longer together or had dead members. My view on that is never say never...I never thought I'd be able to see Duran Duran together as the original five after 1984, but I got that chance again in Louisville in 2009 (after a failed attempt in Mississippi because Andy's father was dying).

Granted, it's a bit harder when band members pass...we may never have Joy Division again, but New Order is still around (albeit fragmented), so at least there is a bit of Joy Division still alive. I did debate on revisiting the concert topic with groups or singers that no longer make music, have broken up, or have dead members, but in the end, I couldn't come up with a viable list myself, so I had to pick something else. I want to keep the list realistic...something that can actually possibly be accomplished in my lifetime.

Because of some things that are happening this week, I decided instead of move to the vacation bucket lists. There will probably be a couple of these, but I want to start first with vacation destinations where you've been before, maybe a long time ago or maybe last week, but want to go back to again someday, so the topic is:

VACATION EDITION: REVISTING PLACES

I'm sure most of you already know what at least two on my list will be (and I might have to merge them to make the list work). I admit I am a bit predictable on certain subjects, but not so much on others and, despite my seemingly one-tracked vacation mind, I have actually been a lot of other places, so I have a pretty good list (or at least I think it's good).

So, good luck to anyone else who wants to join me and I can't wait to read all about your past vacation destinations and why you want to go back again!

Happy 13th Blogoversary to the worst blogger ever!

Yep, I'm still here. This is the first time I've touched any blog in months. My focus has been in the "me" world. I have a new therapist and it's still early days, but I'm doing much better both mentally and physically. Work always sucks, so that's already a dead horse. And both pups are still hangin in there. My last post was probably the last time I stitched or at least my last Instragram post was. Maleficent still isn't framed, she's still in her ziploc baggie on the kitchen table. Bad me all around. I'm getting worse at this whole social media thing, what little I do. My job is tech burnout, so by the time I get home, the only tech I touch is my TV. The thought of creating a blog post or human communication in any way is just too much. I do have two vacations coming up, so that's exciting, right? I haven't felt like sharing, so very few people around me know about these. The first is a birthday trip to Boulder, j...

A to Z Challenge - B

PART 1 - JANE AUSTEN ALPHABET-COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BRANDON A much better hero than Edward Ferrars in my opinion PART 2 - MY DISNEY COLLECTION-BOOKS Obviously the age limit on books means very little to me: Do magazines count as books? Well, they are on the book row and they are Disney related, so there you go! There are several more shelves of these and they get more movement than anything else because their weight tends to kill bookshelves rather quickly. It helps to shuffle them around upon occasion to give the poor shelves a breather.

A to Z Reflections Post

I'm going to try not to be as wordy as previous years (but no promises). I did two challenges this year, my Jane Austen Alphabet Cross Stitch project, which is now complete: I haven't gotten it framed yet...heck, I still haven't gotten last year's framed either, so there is no telling when it will get done. Thanks to my friend Tiff for her suggestion of the blue fabric over the brown...she made the right choice I think! There is really nothing more to add on my second challenge, My Disney Collection, other than I have realized that my OCD apparently isn't strong enough to focus me in one particular direction. I like to think I have a Duck Room and a Princess/Villains room, but it's more like a Duck/Stitch/Parks room, a Mickey Bathroom, a Disney-themed kitchen, a living room filled with various objects, and a Princess and Villains bedroom. I don't think as a whole, they look so bad, it just looked a bit hoarderish when I divided them up into categori...
