My ‘Bucket List’

February 19, 2010  |  Posted by Hilary |  4 Comments

Bucket ListLike everyone else on the face of cyberspace, there’s so much I want out of life. Some, okay a lot, is very vain and material based, while others represent personal accomplishments and experiences. I’m always thinking of the things I want to do, the places I want to see, and the goals I want to reach. Instead of keeping everything bouncing around in my head I’ve decided to throw ‘em all down on here. This list will morph over time and if everything goes somewhat okay, items that I’ve met or completed should get crossed off, eventually. I do get a certain level of inner piece when I cross something off a list :) I know, I’m weird. After reading my bucket list, tell me what the number one item is on your list, or better yet, start your own! If you have or start your own I hope you’ll share!

Hilary’s Bucket List

  1. Buy a house with a HUGE kitchen and a jacuzzi
  2. Finish and launch my ebook
  3. Become more financially stable
  4. Visit Italy
  5. Visit Vegas, again…
  6. Have a childless night out with my husband
  7. Buy a camaro
  8. Lead a healthier lifestyle
  9. Bring the kids to Disney Land
  10. Have a son (debateable)
  11. Launch two new websites currently in development (more on this later)
  12. Buy a pair of Silver Jeans… the brand, NOT the color ;)
  13. Become more organized
  14. Hook my girls up with the trendiest clothes, and not worry about the cost.
  15. Learn to play the guitar

That’s it… for now… <evil laugh>.  I’m sure this list will eventually grow, and grow, and grow to the point that you won’t even be reading this all the way down at the end :)

I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am about a new program I got, called Artisteer. I can make some really cool looking WordPress themes and the best part – it’s easy! This first one I made, which I called Schmexy Corporate Stripe (I heart stripes!), was created specifically with Virtual Assistants in mind. I’m really diggin’ the balance of corporate and sexy, with the black, grey, and mauve color scheme. Click here to see my first free WordPress theme, Schmexy Corporate Stripe, in action.

I do ask if you download and use the theme, please keep my happy little link in the footer.

If you use the theme please be sure to leave a comment and link to your site! I welcome any comments and suggestions too, of course :) Also, if you have any ideas for WordPress themes you’d like to see, reach out and contact me or leave a comment and I’ll put your idea on the list.

If you need hosting, I’ve always been really happy with Hostmonster.com, and that’s who I use to host my sites as well. I’ve had issues with other hosting companies, but never with these guys.
