WILL WORK FOR TOYS

If you haven't seen the movie, "The Bucket List", it's truly an inspiring movie. I wasn't too excited about seeing it when it was in the theaters. Mostly because if I had a choice to watch Adam Rodriguez ala CSI Miami for an hour versus crusty Jack Nicolson and Morgan Freeman for two hours, I'd pick CSI Miami. But thanks to Netflix, you don't have to compromise. It came last week and it was so fun.

What I took away from the movie is affirmation of the way I desire to live my life- if I want to know how something works, how to do something, or just get the idea, "hmm I wonder what that's like", I do it. I'm not driven by career or accumulating wealth. I'm driven by curiosity. I really only work to pay for my toys and adventures. I have closets literally and figuratively full of stuff I've tried. If I liked it, it stayed around. If I didn't, eh whatever, now I know. As a matter of fact, in my line of vision is my cello (which I still love, I just don't have the patience for) leaning in the corner, which is next to my bread maker (which was pretty useful actually), and out the window are my gardening supplies (which was pretty fun until the grubs ate my corn stalks) on the balcony. But hey, now I know. And yeah, you don't want to come over. It's pretty junky around here! LOL!

I've recently learned to love that about myself rather than be disappointed in how quickly I get bored. Some might call it flaky. I just call it me. At the end of my life, I want to say I satisfied my curiosity.

So The Bucket List inspired me to keep it up. Instead of waiting until you're about to die to realize you're alive, live now! Life is for the living.

Sarah Connor

I've loved motorcycles ever since I was a little girl. In fact, when I recently broke the news to my parents that I intend to finally get one and my father practically had a heart attack from the news, my mother had to remind him how I've wanted a motorcycle instead of a car even before I got my driver's permit! So it's no surprise that I would still want one. And I have found IT. THE bike.

Now, when I was little, I thought there was nothing better than a Hog. So I mean no disrespect to the Harley-Davidson gods...But right now there is nothing better than a Yamaha Raider S. And I just found out today that they make one in a color called Liquid Silver. *drool* It has totally changed my whole outlook on the custom paint job I wanted to get- Dark purple with a fade to black and a neon green EKG down the middle emphasizing the "V". Instead, the manufacturer's Liquid Silver might just be enough for me. And so, I intend to name her "Sarah Connor". *Choir Sings*

My only obstacle at the moment from getting "Sarah Connor" *Choir Sings* is my husband. He suffers from the same mistake that my parents did long ago; that I should get a car rather than a motorcycle. Well, I was a little kid back then. I didn't have a choice. But this time around, I'm grown. I'm getting my bike!

This Christmas, Momma wants leathers.

One more time for good measure- "Sarah Connor" *Choir Sings*

Isn't she pretty?!

Still here

What a tangled web we weave when once we practice to pass our Real Estate Broker's exam....or something like that.

So I've been MIA from REV1VE for awhile. Sorry about the delay. I needed to concentrate on knocking out my broker's test and I did! YAY! Plus lots of other things have had my mental attention. So quickly the weeks can go by.

I promise something is coming soon. I hope!
