Take part in a marathon.
I honestly am not the best runner - in fact, I can't run. I have issues with my knees which leads to a painful experience. Oh - and issues with my hips. I honestly feel as though I'm in my 80's some days.
A marathon would prove to myself that I can push through and my body can perform as a normal 20-something's body performs. Shoot - even older people take part in marathons at times! There's no reason I shouldn't be able to do it.

Wowsers! Suddenly I'm behind!
Have a butterfly land on my hand - unprompted.
I hate to go back to things which already happened - but this was just too amazing. The other week I was driving in the car with my mom. My arm was out the window and we pulled up to a stop sign. A gorgeous butterfly flew towards us and landed on my hand. It was the most amazing 10 seconds. *sigh*
The overwhelming sense of "I am here" and how creation all intertwines with itself - the smallest moments are those that leave a lasting impression. Ahhh... Yes.

Have a secret/unique language which only my significant other knows.
For some odd reason I really think it'd be awesome to be able to communicate with someone in the midst of a crowd without anyone knowing what you're saying aside from the one who's meant to hear.
Hehe - yes, I may have just jumped back to being 7 years old, I don't care ^.^

Every once in awhile I add something after it has happened... Here's another!
Have a drink created and named after me.
Oh - YES! Recently one of my dear friends and I have been frequenting a local bar, and the bartender knows us by name and her normal drink. I jump from drink to drink always up for something new. Well, last night I was up for another one and couldn't come up with what I wanted, so the lady next to us with whom we had begun a bit of a conversation with, agreed that the bartender should come up with a concoction for "Cooper" (one of my nicknames). So began the process of finding the things I like and putting them together in a delectable manner. About 15 minutes later the "Cooper" was perfected.
It's a mix of chocolate, mint and (in place of what will be strawberry) grenadine.
They ran out of strawberry liquor, so I have yet to try it the way I really want it - but the grenadine definitely did the trick of taking it from a too-heavy drink to a luscious combination of delicious amazing flavors.
With this drink now created, I believe I may finally have found my normal - which just so happens to be named after me ^.^

Earn a degree.
About 3 months ago now I got really serious about going to school and earning a degree in one of two things - it's something I want to do, and eventually - someday - I would love to complete. The two things I had were ultrasound technician and early childhood education.
The ECE can be completed in a shorter amount of time, so my plan was to start with that degree (which would then quite seriously over-qualify me for babysitting, but yes, I would definitely continue! I love kids!!). Spend a few years in the field and then go back to school for the ultrasound degree.
Oh the things which I had thought were to be in my immediate future... How different it is now.

Plan a trip - music and stops all coordinated. Just like Claire did for Drew in Elizabethtown.
I think it'd be so overwhelming to receive something like that, because of the amount of time, thought and effort the giver has to put in. Those are always the best gifts - those which are full of the person who's giving them. Flowing out with love, thought and care. So to do something like this for someone would be quite a challenge, yes - but completely worth it, especially if that person you create it for is someone who is close to your heart.

Collect something unique from all 50 states upon visiting them.
Most people do keychains, magnets, spoons, what have you. I started collecting shot glasses, but that's not unique enough for me. I want to have a super unique collection, which of course will take lots of time and traveling to create, but I'm okay with that.

YAY! I've made it to 200!!!
Originally I wanted to make this something which has deep significance to me, but there are a few subjects I just can't bring myself to write about yet... So here's my 200th!
Learn how to throw a curve ball.
Yes. I played softball for a year when I was younger and was absolutely horrible at it. I (somehow) wasn't competitive enough, or else I was just afraid of getting hurt. Who knows. Either way, I'd love to be able to play a game of ball with people and pitch, just 'cause I love the pressure. In order to pitch, one must have a few types of throws up their sleeves and as I can barely throw to start with, I figure a curve ball wouldn't be too difficult for me to learn - when I throw the ball goes all around already! XD
As far as deeper wishes, hopes and dreams - I think they'll be saved for near the end of this... Maybe.

Design shoes.
This reminds me of a character in a movie - I'm pretty sure it's P.S. I Love You, but I honestly forget!
I love unique shoes - not ridiculous, just unique. It'd be amazing to be able to create a unique pair of shoes (heels, flats, whatever) for women who are celebrating something monumental, going out, or just needing a specific look... Oh geez. Why do I have so many ideas?! I need someone to help me conquer all of these things!! haha!

Own my own business.
I'm not sure exactly what this business will do - anything from baking to planning events, but it's got to be something I can have my hands in. Something I have a passion for. Oh - maybe it'll be the type where people walk in, say "I need a break, give me a ticket" and we book them a trip to somewhere amazing. Anyway - haha! Oh the things I can think of. I'd like to have my own business which in some way provides others with a way to live and not be so concerned with a part of their life.
Sounds like something I more than need...

Have a personalized license plate.
Totally something I have wanted since before I even had a car. Never have I gotten around to doing it though - had better things to spend my money on. There are two reasons for this - 1) so everyone knows my car is... Mine. 2) so I can actually remember my license plate. I've had the same license plate for 6 years now and I can't even recall the first letter. Sad. Definitely.

Crazy days are crazy and lead to multiple entries in a day... Hehe!
Own a 'growler'.
Oh yes - there is a story. For a few years I lived next to a place called "Grandpa's Growler" - half of the time I was there I had no clue what a growler was. Now that I know, I think it's entirely genius and would absolutely love to have one. It reminds me of France where people would go with jugs and fill up at what looked like an indoor gas station (it was all wine). Love it.

Take a cooking class. Yes, I am a female and no, I do not know how to cook the majority of things out there. One recognizes this when they have things such as Master Chef or other cooking shows on in the background. I really thought I had a general understanding of how to cook most things, but goodness me - definitely not! I'm sure there is a way to cook everything to the point of which it becomes yummy. Even things like... *gag* mushrooms.

I love it when I have entries which piggy-back off of one another...
Spend a day at the races.
This is one of those past-times which have never been part of my life, but yesterday when I witnessed that one race I immediately had the desire to get all gussied up and go to the tracks with some of my girls (who would, of course, also be gussied up) and maybe a few guys just to round out the bunch (read: fetch us drinks and food when needed and put in a few bets!) Hehe... Oh I can only imagine.

Weekends apparently put me behind...
Watch a horse race live!
Now, this is one of those things which I only think of as I'm able to do it... So yes, I watched a horse race on Saturday night. It was so entertaining. Hehe - I only watched one race, but the energy one feels from those surrounding them as well as from the track during the last straight is abounding!
