This bucket list item is a perfect example of something I always found fascinating, wanted to participate in, but the opportunity just never presented itself. Until this year! Had I known that a flash mob was in my future, I definitely would have been thinking about it and had it on the original bucket list. Now, it's made its way onto the BONUS LIST and definitely worth it! Years ago, the Black Eyed Peas surprised Oprah with a flash mob. As a HUGE fan of the Peas, and never having witnessed a flash mob, I thought it was the most awesome performance ever! Not lying. Just click here to witness it for yourself. Moving forward ... maybe a couple years later the next introduction - THRILLER! This one has been many times and now flash mobs are popping up all over the place. Even in Boise, ID, my little hometown that's not so little anymore, has it's commemorative Thriller Flash Mob around Halloween. Point is - flash mob's are AWESOME! A few short weeks ago I attended the International Builder Show in Las Vegas and had the best time learning ... and the best time DANCING! Now you can see what all the secrets and hype were about. I'm pretty sure it will be added to the IBS history books. Did I forget to mention it made "Best of IBS" by Builder Magazine. I'll stop talking so you can watch.

The great thing about Bucket Lists are that we have the choice to change, cancel, add, or whatever we so please with the list. And the more we thing about Bucket Lists, the more we realize how the world is full of things we want to accomplish, join in, do, etc. So in March, I wasn't thinking about November, until it got closer and I realized it was the perfect opportunity to participate from start to finish in National Novel Writing Month! This past summer I came up with an idea for a new book - a great heroine who is just as real as we are, maybe a little of myself, someone with dreams and goals and values that she is willing to sacrifice anything for just to be happy. With only an idea, I spend pretty much every day writing around 1,600 words to create a book that I plan to submit for publishing in the near future. It was a lot harder than I imagined - who knew typing 215 pages on a typewriter would be such an finger exercise. And made me greatly appreciate this computer I currently type on that will correct all my misspellings. Now it's time to start Draft #2 ... and I'm looking forward to what I might come up with in 2015 for NaNoWriMo! |
