Well, here it is, my last post of 2009. It wasn't an extremely eventful year, but there were a few highlights. I went to Oregon to visit family and old friends. I turned 30 and celebrated in two parts: a surprise party thrown by friends, and a day on Block Island, RI with my sweetie. And we went to a few weddings, including the long anticipated wedding of Joe and Sandra, for which Chris was the best man.
Checking in on the bucket list I started in January...
Get the hell outta Dodge... I mean, Hood River.Go to Disney World.Ride on a boat in the ocean.- Go on a cruise.
- Drive my own vehicle.
Swim with dolphins.Make contact with my biological father. *- Compete on a television game show.
Have someone call me Mommy.- Have someone human call me Mommy.
- Visit Australia.
- Travel somewhere solely for the purpose of meeting an online friend in person.
- Own an actual house on my own land. (new)
- Get a prize winning video on America's Funniest Home Videos. (new)
* I Googled his name and found a listed address in the right area for where we thought he'd be living. I wrote a letter, and mailed it. In the letter I stated that I was not sure I had the right person, gave some details that would identify who I was looking for, and I also promised that I would not make repeated attempts at contact if he did not wish to have any. I received no response. If it wasn't him, the person who read the letter didn't see fit to let me know as much. If it was him, he made his wishes clear.
So, not much progress on the bucket list this year either. I've added a couple of new items, but I don't expect to get very far in the coming year either. Now that I have my new camera I guess I can at least work on the AFV video and some application videos for game shows. Who knows, maybe one of those will happen in the next year.
