Ask:
I love the ELLEN show. It's so upbeat and so positive and FUN!! I love that she doesn't focus on celebrity gossip or fashion trends or any of that. She just has this fun fun show! It's a great show to watch on the treadmill by the way! I ended up running over 45 minutes yesterday without even realizing it!!!! (yeah me...thanks Ellen)
Anyway, on her show she has what she calls "Life List" or something like that. She has asked her viewers to write down all the things they want to do between now and when they die. They can be really big things or very simple things.
What is on your Life List?
Answer:
I'm kind of doing my life list, raising a family and making a nice home, so lets see........
There really isn't anything else I have ever really wanted to do, kind of depressing to think that I don't have anything else, after this stage of life is over. Like this is it for me. Wow. I better get to thinking.
Answer:
I would like to build a house. We are all crammed into this little trailor, so that would be nice. I would like to take my kids to Disney, and Lego Land. They would love to go and I've never had the money. I don't know that this is so much a life list thing, but I hope my children have long happy lives!

5) go back to Italy and see its entirety
6) help build our dream home

I love your #7 Rakshanda. I too hope to celebrate 50 years. Dh and I always joke about what we're going to be like when we're old and grey. I hope we both live to tell the tale! Will you all still be on this board at that point?
Answer:
umm I'm gonna have to make one.
One big one is to get the balls to work on getting my writing published.
Answer:
This is a good one, and I need to think about it. On a side note, though, and laugh at me, but I just can't STAND her dancing. It's always turned me off. That and the sneakers. Oh well.
I do think I'm going to take this topic and have it for our family for Thanksgiving. Tell them the need to have this list to discuss. It would make a great goal for New Years Resolutions!
Answer:
I love her show, even her dancing. It's just refreshing to turn on positive and FUNNY TV, you know what I mean?
Answer:
Good question....
I've always wanted to sky dive and bungee jump...those would be on there. Travel Europe would be on there, too. Hmmm, I'll have to keep thinking. In the meantime, log on to the Ellen Show website and you can share your list there.
