I'm a firm believer in "never say never," so this list includes things that:
A) I really can't see myself doing,
B) are not a priority to me, or
C) I flat-out don't want to do
But it is not a "never" list. A few of these things may end up crossed off over the rest of my life. It will be interesting to see what my future brings. After all, I was never going to be a runner, and I was never going to "not find out" the gender of my babies.
Britt's Non-Bucket List:*
Play on a sports team
Own a passport
Have a pixie cut by choice
Go sky diving
Gamble in a casino
Meet a celebrity
Build a home
Do a triathalon
Take a science class
Paint on canvas
Read Pride and Prejudice
Serve as a pianist in the Church
Have cosmetic surgery
Get a spray-on tan
Get drunk
Bungee jump
Move out-of-state
Audition for something
Have fake nails
Do a back flip on a trampoline
Own a convertible
Get a dog
Run for office
Perform a solo
Would any of these things be on your non-bucket list? Or even more interesting, are any of them on your bucket list?
*This list is not intended to insult anyone who does these things. Yeah, I never want to have a pixie cut. It's because I don't think it would look good with my face - it has nothing to do with anyone else's desire to have a pixie cut.
(And I totally want a spray on tan, I just can't bring myself to pay for one or take of my clothes for a stranger to spray paint me).

Haha! This is awesome.
I have done 12 of these and have 3 or 4 more on an eventual "Like To..." list.
For the record, Pride and Prejudice is NOT WORTH IT. Blargh.
xox
I love this! I am definitely not a short-hair person, so there will be no elective pixie cuts for me. I may be up for skydiving but definitely not bungee jumping, and I could be talked into a triathalon but have no desire to do a marathon.
Also, I wouldn't take a ride into space even if it were free. No desire.
You should read P&P. It takes some wading (all those stilted conversations!) but the payoff when they finally figure it all out...swoon.
Or not.
Anyway.
I will never have fake nails, run for office, or get a dog. (Unless they make a non-pooping dog.) I'd have a cosmetic surgery if someone else would pay for it. Ditto the spray-on tan. Or the solo performance. That would be bad!
No passport? Really?
I totally love this idea.
Hmm.....out of your list, I've already done 10! I'm not sure we can be friends anymore....
That said - I like the idea of a non-bucket list because I've always hated the idea of bucket lists. Feels too much like an expiration date to me. Like when you're done, God will be all, "Time to go, nothing left for you to do here!"
