    But cannot necessarily do now?  OR you have to push it back a bit?

    For me it would be - A road trip across America.  I've always wanted to photograph the entire trip to tell a story.  It's a lot harder now because of several reasons, but it's not impossible.

    What about you?  It can be about anything.

    Live somewhere in Europe for a year or two. I think it would be such a great experience!!! It would be hard to be away from our families for that length of time but I think it would be such a great opportunity that I could live with that part lol.

    FI's boss mentioned at one time the possibility of the company paying FI to do some kind of management training in Germany for a year and I think it would be fantastic!

    @Miss.Lace:My younger sister is going to take a class this weekend to become a Zumba instructor! She's really excited about it. The class wasn't very expensive and it'll be great because different gyms will be able to hire her independently so she'll basically be working free lance.

    @Running Elley: That would be so kick ass!  My friend is in Disney right now doing that college thing there.  I know it's not Europe, but I am so jealous.  It's like she's on vacation every day.

    @Miss.Lace: I like that idea too.  :D  I wish I could be some fitness goddess myself.  hahah.  I don't have the motivation to go nuts and get my body like Jillian Michaels.

    I wish i could travel the world and just work different places without a care in the world. I wish i could live by the ocean somewhere tropic and warm. But, i need to be responsible and need a stable income and investments (like our house) for the future. As well as if i was gone all the time i would miss my family that is here.

    I want to go to Australia...badly.  I worry I won't be able to do it in my lifetime, and that fact makes me kind of sad. 

    Due to money issues we are doing away with our honeymoon.  *Sigh*  I told the FI it was okay, but it honestly bugs me.  I guess it a honeymoon was always an expectation attached with getting married.  I suppose I'll have to bite the bullet and grin and bear it.

    @creativeplannertobee: Good luck!! I can't believe you had THREE interviews! Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

    Yes, another thing is that I want to move out of Jersey so damn bad.  I feel it's depressing me for some reason.  I can't put my finger on it!

    Another thing would be is to continue doing band photography (live shows, particularly), interviews, and promotion.  I miss how care-free my life used to be before I went back to college.  It was spectacular.

    Yeah, eat everything I ever wanted and not gain a pound. EVER. And be toned without working out.

    Oh, and sing. I can make your ears bleed.

    @Mrs.tobe: I second that about the eating and never gaining a pound.  I could think about food and gain 5lbs.  It's pretty ridiculous.  I definitely don't take after my family.  I'm beginning to think I'm adopted.

    @DesireeAnne: I can look at it and gain. It's a curse.

    FI, however can eat all kinds of garbage and maintains a 29 inch waist and abs. He does not work out.

    Boo on him.

    @Running Elley:   I can unequivocably say that moving abroad is the absolute BEST thing you can do!  DO IT!!!!  :-)  I moved to London when I was 25 with the intent of staying for 6 months.... three years later I decided I was ready to move on, but not quite ready to go home.  I moved to Australia for a year and on my way home, whilst travelling through China, I met an Aussie man who is now my FI, hence, I am living back in Australia.  Seriously, moving abroad gives you an opportunity to see the world in a way that you just can't replicate whilst living in the States.  I encourage everyone to do it... and if you're under 30, there are a fair amount of visa options available to you! 

    As for me, something in life I wish I could do was run a marathon.  I love working out but am not really a running person.  The best I've done is to run a few 10K races but my dream is to someday run a full marathon.  I watch them all the time on tv and get choked up when I see people cross the finish line as I want that to be me someday!

    Learn to shoot a firearm of some sort. If I get another position in military history, like I would like, I think would be beneficial to know how the things actually work. (Though this would require me to learn how to not dive for cover whenever there's a loud sound.)

    Visit my family in Norway. My parents had said that my brother and I that we would go when I was 12 but that never happened. Eventually FH and I will get there, maybe if I go to the UK for grad school.

    I'm one of those people that can eat whatever they want, all the time, sit on their ass all day, and not gain a pound. I've been given lovely nicknames like Alien or Tapeworm by friends. But before you hate me...I recently got diagnosed with a stupid chronic disease that is diet sensitive and now I can't eat 80% of foods normal people eat. It's so restrictive I can't even out anymore, I usually carry around my bottle of water and my bland sandwich everywhere I go. I'm not supposed to ever drink alcohol either. I have a feeling someone once watched me chasing down my second burger with a chocolate cake and cursed me. Now all I want is to be able to eat like a normal healthy person Cry

    @meliss: Oh noes.  I am so sorry to hear.  What sort of disease do you have (if you care to share).  I often wonder how my FMIL does it with her celiac's disease.  My grandmother has a pretty bland and lame diet herself because she scleraderma and it's really messed up her digestive tract.

    @DesireeAnne: Thanks for the sympathy. It's called Interstitial Cystitis. Chronic inflammation and ulceration of the bladder. Ever had a UTI ? I have similar symptoms and pain every single day of my life. Except because it's not caused by bacteria, antibiotics don't work and cranberry juice makes it 100x worse due to acidity. Apparantly I have one of the world's best metabolism and worst bladder.

    nontraditionalmiami    December 15, 2010   Miami

    I want to write a screenplay based on a crazy weekend I had in my early 20s

    Put a business idea I have into motion

    Learn Spanish and French (husband is French and I'm ashamed I don't speak it fluently yet)

    Do the whole Europe thing

    Visit a bunch of mysterious places (like the 7 wonders of the world and a few others that intrigue me)

    Get past my math learning disability some day.  It really bugs me that I can't grasp complex mathematics. 

    Take advantage of my body physique while I'm still somewhat young.  If I worked out regularly and lifted weights, I'd have a Maxim model body lol but I'm lazy and kinda flabby and just "skin & bones" right now.  I'd really like some muscle definition but I hate working out.
