My very first post here at the Soda Stand. A lot has happened in the last two years since I made the move to Wordpress and The Soda Stand. I had started blogging on January 8, 2006 over on Blogsource, which was a free blogging service. It no longer exists, so I can’t link to that first blog of mine. Sad really.
I was going to go back and link to at least one post per month in the last two years. Do you KNOW how long that would fucking take me? I’m entirely too lazy to do that! So you’re going to get my bucket list. What I want to do before I kick the bucket. I’ve seen several lists throughout the blogosphere recently and I don’t mind copying their idea. I’m not ashamed to do that.
- Become financially stable and pay off all my debtors
- Travel often to New York City
- Go to Italy and stay a few weeks in the Tuscany area
- Go to Greece
- Go to Scotland, Ireland, England and Wales
- Go to France
- Go to Thailand
- Go to Japan
- Go to the Caribbean
- Stay a week in Hawaii on Oahu and visit the Pearl Harbor Memorial
- Put my blog posts in book form (got that idea from Miss Monique)
- Visit Canada - British Columbia, Sasketchewan and Ontario (and any other I forgot where my bloggy friends live)
- Be a home owner again (condo, townhouse or patio home only. No REAL house - don’t want the yard work)
- Write a book about my recovery journey that I have been on since July 30, 2001
- Learn more about digital photography and do a photo book of some of the pictures I’ve already taken
- Find a stable, happy, healthy relationship with the man of my dreams
- Be successful (not necessarily monetarily) in whatever I do career wise
I’m sure there is more I want to do before I die, I’m just not thinking of it right now. A lot of things I’ve already done, such as move out of Las Vegas and start over.
In the last two years, I’ve watched myself grow, learn and become more stable and more comfortable with who I am. I’ve made some tremendous changes in my life, like moving cross country from Las Vegas to Kentucky. I’ve seen places and things I could only dream about.
What a blessed life I have had and I’m honored I’ve been able to share the last two years with people like you. Thank you for being loyal readers of The Soda Stand and thank you for some of the best friendships a girl could ever dream of having.
Until next time….

Wow, I remember when you first started blogging! Happy bloggoverary!
Having looked death in the face on several occasions last year there are so many changes I’ve made to my life so that I can do the things I want to do before I do actually die.
Death changes your perspective on life for sure.

Tense: thanks! Hopefully once things calm down and I get really settled with a job, I’ll be looking into how to start that book!
Lisa: Thank you! Yours is one of the first blogs I ever read.
I’ve never faced death myself, so I can only imagine how it changes your perspective. I hope you will be able to accomplish all that you set out to accomplish.
