Tim is getting sick, with god knows what right now. Luckily he had today off, so he could lay in bed and recuperate. I know that he's not really adjusting well to the hard part of being a dad, yet. Even though it's been four months, he still has a hard time being as patient as I am. I guess that's expected. He just can't wait until Owen is big enough to really do father-son stuff. He already went out and bought him a bunch of little John Deere tractors and cars to play with.
I keep it in the back of my mind that there are still things that I want and need to do in my life. So, in the interest of informing myself, and you as well, I've come up with the list:
Ashley's Lovable List of Lifelong Goals
I don't know why it's lovable...I was just feeling the "L" sound.
#1. Get a degree in Accounting with a minor in Business Management
#2. Go to Costa Rica for a rainforest adventure. (Yes...I'm serious about that one...really. I want to go.)
#3. Have a small, simple wedding (instead of just a courthouse thing...) I'd like to dance and drink and have a grand old time. Of course, with a legitamite bachelorette party...I didn't get one of those...
#4 Take a cruise.
#5. Cure cancer. (...as if I could ever do that...I'm definitely not expecting to ever fulfill that one..)
#6. Ride the world's best roller coaster. Actually, make that the world's 5 best roller coasters...(that way I could order them myself..)
#7. Watch my sister graduate from college. Not only my sister. Watch my son and myself graduate from college. THAT's what I'm talking about.
#8. Raise a gentle, handsome, chivalrous son, one who has manners, and knows the difference between right and wrong, how people should be treated, how the world works, and how to survive in that world.
#9. Spend a whole year committing to recycling. I can never seem to get in the groove of it, and that's my fault.
#10. Learn to do an elaborate formal dance routine. We're talking a sexy tangoe or sophisticated waltz...just so I know that i can.
#11. Swim with a dolphin AND with a shark. Not at the same time, preferable.
#12. Learn to ski. Both on water and snow.
And that's all I really have for now. Of course, as I remember things..you will be dutifully informed. :) Thanks so much for being here.
