Friday ~ My List of Wishes

Like I mentioned on Monday, I don't make New Year's resolutions, but this year, just for fun, I made a List of Wishes. My List of Wishes are the things that I'd LOVE to do sometime, whether this year or sometime in my lifetime. Some are crazy, some are whimsical, some are insane, some probably will never happen...but that's the point of wishes. If they don't happen, then it's okay. But if they do...well then. :)

Without further ado, introducing...


1.
Go to Château de Pierrefonds in France to see Camelot castle. Although I'm too late to see any actual filming of Merlin *sniff sniff*

2.
Dye my hair dark brown.

3.
Ride in a British compartment train through European countryside! Boo-yah!

4.
Pet an elephant.

5.
Sit next to someone famous on an airplane and pretend I don’t know who they really are.

6.
Be there when a flash-mob goes off.

7.
Ride a turquoise Vespa through narrow, cobble-stoned streets in some epic town.

8.
Climb to the top of a water tower or windmill.

9.
Teach myself to say "oi!" instead of "hey!"

10.
Obtain a complete set of original Anne of Green Gables books (worth, ahem, several thousand dollars…)

11.
Go to Stevesville, BC and watch a day's filming of Once Upon a Time.

12.
Have a professional make-up artist do my make up and teach.me.how!

13.
Learn to read and speak Hebrew

14.
Have my picture taken with all my favorite Disney princesses at Disney  (hello, Belle, Ariel and Jasmine!)

15.
Ride a motorcycle all the way down the pacific coast.

16.
Pose for promo photos (I guess I’d need to be in a movie or something for that, but oh well!)

17.
Build a full-scale Tardis and put it in my front yard.

18.
Stand up in the sun roof of a moving car and feel the wind on my face.

19.
Be interviewed.

20.
Wear a big, floppy cute retro hat and look cool doing it.

21.
Go for an adventure in a big fishing boat.

22.
Ride a zip-line through a foggy, shadowy forest.

23.
Own a wardrobe.

24.
Ride a red or yellow bicycle-built-for-two.

25.
Have a pet de-skunked skunk or ferret.

26.
Plan/Coordinate someone's wedding - that would be fantastic!!

27.
Swing dance and do it well.

28.
Ride in a fire engine with it's lights flashing and sirens blowing.

29.
People-watch at a little corner cafe in some off-the-beaten-track European town.

30.
Go to a couples dress-up party dressed as either Mary Poppins & Burt or the Doctor & Rose.
(although Rose wasn't my favorite Companion...but she's the iconic one we think of)

The Beginning.
Because it's certainly not the end. :)

  4. Iris: I just looked at the pictures and oooh, how I'd love to come visit your Germany! Hopefully this wish will actually get to come true someday. :) I'm thrilled to have you following my blog and I've popped over to yours, too! HHHmmm...I could use some German chocolate!

  5. OUAT - that one would RULE!

    Love that. :)

    Oooh! And my idea for coloring my hair a "dream" shade? It was always a pretty auburn. I've done it twice now and love it but am still searching for the "perfect" shade. ;O

    This is so much fun, Kellie.

    1. Rissi: I've colored my hair once with TRAGICAL results (orange wasn't exactly what I had in mind...) and now my hair is finally back to it's naturally unoriginal brown. I REALLY want to go dark, chestnut brown...but my 13 year old brother is campaigning HARD against it every time I talk about it...and of course he's bringing out all my own worries: it won't end up being what I want, I'll hate it, I'll regret it, it'll take FOREVER to grow back out, etc. I keep chickening out! I even have two boxes of dye tucked away from BOTH times I went to do it...I even got as far as gloves on my hands in front of the bathroom mirror! *rolls eyes at self* But one day, I'll do it!! :) Two of my three sisters have red hair, so whereas I think red shades are pretty, I'll stick with dark browns for myself to maintain individuality. :) I also have this crazy desire someday to due it some outrageous color, like turquoise or bright blue or Little Mermaid-red or some other insane color....we'll see. ;)

    2. Your 13-year-old brother is wise beyond his years. ;)
