I'll Never

My husband and I recently went on a road trip to Tahoe. On the way we had a little conversation about where we are in our lives and how we're on either side of 30. We decided to come up with a list of a few things we would probably never do in our lifetimes. The rule was you had to have considered the possibility at some point during your life, only to realize now that it is too late to do that thing.

Mine was extensive.

I'll Never:

1) Be a professional prima Ballerina.

2) Make a music video, starring me.
3) Be on Saturday Night Live
4) Marry royalty.
5) Be famous.

6) Visit Australia. I just don't want to.
7) Be in the Medical Profession.
8) Win a trophy at any sport.
9) Live alone in a trendy Parisian flat.
10) Win an Oscar/Emmy/Tony/Pulitzer

I could go on and on. It's a sobering list.
It's amazing how many doors close every year of your life.





Not so for Dx.

We chatted about this for two hours.
He could only come up with TWO THINGS
he would PROBABLY never do in his lifetime.

They were:
1) Use hardcore street drugs (heroin/coke/crack)

2) Own a Geo Metro.

That's it.

Everything else is within the realm of possibility for him. It's going to be a long eternity.

How about "Be a size 2 again?"

This is a good game. But I think Dax was confused about the rules.

That's it Dx? Your list was very practical. My list would go on and on. I have got to try this with my husband!

I am going to make a list with my husband, too. I am very impressed with your list because it means at some point those amazing things were in your realm of possibility.

Lenore,
He only had two things and you got one of them wrong! As I recall, he said Geo TRACKER, not Metro. Huge difference. Easy to write off the Tracker, but I think Dax is right to keep the Metro and Storm options on the table.

Lenore,
Is the ballerina in the first picture you?Because it looks like it might be...I must know.

Okay, this is a fun game. I think you are too hard on yourself. I think if you really worked on it SNL might be in our cards. Also fun, 16 Things You Don't Know About Me. It's fun because your husband can be part of the audience.
