The rest of your life in five lines

Five lines. Five events. From this moment what would be the next five fundamental events of the rest of your life.

For me, I think...

- 500th lay.
- Find the woman of my dreams, marry her.
- Buy a ranch, with horses, three dogs.
- Two kids.
- Sell everything, move to the place we loved most in our travels.

Do work I enjoy
Get the debt eradicated or at least back on track
Call myself an ex-smoker
Have my home the way I want it
Find true contentment, which, with a few additional items, is what the above would help accomplish

I am going to steal from Mantus and NG first.

- Sell everything, move to the place we loved most in our travels. (Already chosen, and we are looking at property to buy in March)

- Call myself an ex-smoker. Well, actually be an ex-smoker. I have cut way back, but even with the patch I can't break the psychological habit. Hubby is done with them for good. Yes!

- Try to rescue or sell our business one way or the other, but never sink another personal dollar into it.

- My Mom. It was hard losing my Dad, but ... I can't even continue this thought.

- A "happily ever after" right up to the moment that a bus turns me into pavement goop.

Planning like that takes the fun out of life. I suppose one of my bigger hopes is that I'll see a lot of good times once I learn to lucid dream regularly and frequently.

I just realized that most of the posts here entail graduation or marriage, while mine included retirement oriented goals twice. I guess though, to be honest, I'm looking forward to being rid of the kid, free to go back to college and learn something totally different, or to be able to travel a little more. I see more and more people who are retirement age being able to truely enjoy their retirement and it looks like a lot of fun. Dunno - maybe it's still the same 'too eager to grow up' sort of thing. I guess it's good that I'm looking forward to it and not dreading it at least.

I liked Shani's one of dying in her sleep next to her sweetie - Quietly is the way I want to go.

Couldnt agree with you more.. I love the rugrat and all, and will enjoy having her until I can pass her off to some unsuspecting guy to take care of her..haha..I always thought, the one great advantage to havin 'em early, is that they'll be grown by the time you're 40 and still have tons of time to accomplish whatever it is you want..
