The Buried Life Project

Authors note:

This is my buried life project. I have always wanted to make a bucket list but have never gotten around to it. So when I found out that we had to make one for our project I was very excited. There are things that I would think about that I wanted to do but would never write them down or anything.  When I started making my bucket list I had some trouble deciding what to put on it but once I got going my list just kept getting longer and longer and I just kept adding things to it. I thought it would be difficult to put 50 items on my bucket list but it was actually pretty easy. I ended up with 81 things on my bucket list. I am hoping to keep adding to that list every time I think of something that I want to accomplish. I also hope to cross some of the items off my bucket list. I feel so proud of myself each time I accomplish one of my goals. I am hoping that I will be able to complete my entire list before I die. I have many things on my list that I feel like will be impossible to complete but if I try hard enough I might be able to cross them off my bucket list. Anything is possible if you believe in yourself and try your hardest. I am not going to give up on my bucket list even if I feel like I am going to fail. I am determined!!

Now What:

The item that I am going to attempt is to visit all 50 states.  I am going to start attempting this goal by going on a road trip this summer. I want to start from Manitoba and get through as many states as possible within the whole summer. I want to go with some of my friends to make the trip fun and exciting. If I go with my friends I will have completed another item off my bucket list.  I have already gone to few of the states but I want to go to each and every one of them.

Kathy's Scarves

My name is Kathy and I am in love with scarves. Scarves are the one thing that I collect. I will wear and collect any type of scarf. It can be an infinity scarf or just a normal kind of scarf. I love all kinds of scarves but I think my personal favourite are infinity scarves. They are more comfy and appealing for me! I remember the first time I got my first scarf.  

I got my first scarf as my birthday present for my 5th birthday. My mom told me she would take me shopping and i could pick out whatever I wanted for my birthday. When I arrived at the mall with my mom we were walking around and she took me into this big, bright store with lots of different items in it. We were wandering around the store searching for something nice I would like to buy. I was looking and touching everything I possibly could in the store. this store was so fascinating to me. As I was walking with my mother I noticed this beautiful scarf on this mannequin. I was mesmerized by it. It was dark blue with black polkadots.  I remember getting my moms attention and showing her what a beautiful scarf it is. I told her that I really really wanted it. she told me it was really pretty but I should keep looking to make sure it was  what I really wanted.  So we kept looking through the store and at the end my mother asked me if I knew what I wanted and I told her the blue scarf. Nothing really caught my eye like that blue polka dotted scarf did! So my mother went and took the blue scarf off the mannequin and bought it for me. 

As I grew older I have found many different scarves that I have fallen in love with. They just make every outfit complete. I don’t feel like I am fully dressed unless I have a scarf on. Scarves for me are like everyone else wearing shoes, its a requirement for them, they put them on everyday and wouldn't go anywhere with out them. I wear one everyday. Every time I go shopping I usually buy a scarf. I always find one that I like and always have to buy. My boyfriend knows that he has to buy me scarves for christmas or my birthday. He bought me this one scarf, it is a wool maroon scarf and I wear it alllll the time! I love it because it is so warm and cozy but I really love it because he picked it out and bought it specially for me. There is this other scarf that I really love because my best friend bought it for me! Part of the scarf is grey and the other part is white and the scarf has thin maroon stripes on it. I wear it all the time. It is my second favourite scarf. I like to think i was  the one who got my friends wearing scarves. Even though I have a huge collection of scarves, I never would have started collecting them if it wasn't for my wonderful mother. She was the one who let me choose that wonderful blue polka dotted scarf back on my 5th birthday. To this day I still have that scarf and will always keep it as a reminder to why I started wearing and collecting scarves. 

I found this picture on tumblr and I felt it related to me because I overthink a lot and then I stress because I am overthinking. So I need to learn to let things go instead of overthinking and stressing.
