Bucket List Revisited

I've been wondering for a while how my bucket list was holding up. I feel like I should always be adding to it and checking things off.  So I pulled out the bucket list I wrote in January 2010 to see what I'd done in 3 years time and it's not too shabby.  I was able to check off 7 things done in those 3 years, the highlight being "get a dog" with my soul-pup-Ceri.  I also added a bunch of things.

All the italicized bolds in the "Done" column are things that I did in 2010-now and all the italicized bolds in the Undone column are things I've added since writing out the original list.

The thing that surprises me the most?  There is nothing in my undone list I want to cross out!

So without further ado....
