The kids were hungry, but this food line just wasn't moving!
When one waits in line too long, the sky turns to this...
and this...
and eventually this...
See! I can take purdy pictures too.

#GBE2: Bucket List
GBE2's topic for the week is "Bucket List," which means things you want to do before you "kick the bucket." My desires are short but mine.
(1) I want to publish a novel. Although my third manuscript is strong, it's been rejected by a few–okay a lot–of agents, but that's their mistake. I mean, who wouldn't want to be engrossed in a story about a teenager running from mob dudes?
My fifth book is also strong, but I have yet to quit polishing it and send it out. It's difficult for an author to drop her hands from the keyboard and say, "This is as good as it's gonna get." Plus, after meeting Linda Sue Park, I'm determined to make every detail and object in the novel count–including the blue bucket. I'm just not there yet; but when I am, hopefully the world will enjoy meeting Knob.
(2) I want to travel to New Zealand and visit Rhonder. I've never been to NZ, Australia, Fiji Islands, or anywhere else in that corner of the world. Unfortunately, we are college poor as we work to educate our young. But one day, I will sell my award winning novel and hop on a plane across the world. Please God, let it not be a Delta flight!
As far as bucket lists go, is there such a thing as an anti-bucket list, aka - things I DON'T want to do? We can call this the mop list since mops take care of what falls out of the bucket... and it's usually a mess to clean up.
I don't want to sky dive. Rhonder did, and it almost killed her.
I don't roller coaster or thrill ride. I even wet my pants on the little log flume at Six Flags.
I have no desire to visit the moon, the bottom of the ocean, or war torn countries.
Call me no fun, but I'm a gal who likes her feet on the ground. Now socially, I have no filter and have been prone to say what comes out of my mouth! If that doesn't make sense, you don't know me. ;-)
