One Day...

I "borrowed" this idea from my friend Maria... Visit her page _this girl_. I already have my list of things I think we all should do, but here is the list of things that I want or hope to do "One Day..."

ONE DAY... I'll write a novel... I'll learn to dive... I'll lose 15 pounds... I'll graduate college... I'll publish a poem... I'll fall in love... I'll see the Parthenon... I'll understand myself... I'll spend an entire day making love... I'll stop smoking... I'll catch up on my e-mail... I'll ask someone out... I'll drive cross-country... I'll grow my hair out... I'll buy a home... I'll own a BMW... I'll stop being so picky... I'll finish this webpage... I'll go on a cruise... I'll paint a picture... I'll learn to ballroom dance... I'll climb a mountain... I'll go parasailing... I'll dance all night... I'll travel the world... one day...

Coming Soon... My friend Maria and I both love to travel... So we've decided to put together our "Fantasy Voyage." We're planning the trip of our lives. =) Who knows if we'll ever get to go or not... but in case we ever win the lottery, at least we'll have everything planned out ahead of time. I'm just trying to accomplish #99 on my list of things to do up there. :) But seriously... I would love to go on a trip with Maria. She's more traveled than I am right now, but there are so many places that both of us want to see. And we get along so well! We have similar views on things, and for me, it's a rarity to find anyone who thinks like I do! So, as soon as we get the details planned out, they'll be posted up here for all of you to read... And you can buy us coffee if we happen to stop by your city!
