7 things...

As promised yesterday, I’m blogging tonight about the tag Mary sent me. That’s actually good because I’m tired from cleaning and finishing up a freelance editing project and don’t particularly think I have the brain cells left to come up with something witty or inspiring.

7 Things I Want to Do Before I Die:

1. Learn to ride a horse
2. Learn to swim
3. Visit every state in the United States (even better, every county in every state — I’m a member of the Extra Miler Club, aka County Counters.)
4. Make a living writing
5. Hit the New York Times Best Seller List
6. Trace my ancestry back as far as possible
7. Get over my fear of flying so I can visit Ireland, Scotland and Australia

7 Things I Can’t Do:

1. The “Live Long and Prosper” Vulcan hand signal
2. Speak a foreign language (Oh, hey, that’s another thing I’d like to add to the things I’d like to do before I die — learn a foreign language, preferably Spanish. And though it’s not “foreign”, I’d love to be able to learn Lakota.)
3. Swim (see above)
