The Bucket List, Part 1...

We all have a list of things we want to do in our lifetime. Some of them are out of this world, some of them are reasonable. Some of them are fun, some of them are breathtaking.

I have had such a list in my head for a long time, but really didn't know what they were. Once in a while, I hear something, and I think to myself that I would like to do that.

And so, I was able to do something that I can cross off my list this weekend. Some of you know that I have been growing out my hair to donate to cancer patients, so that it can be a part of a wig. I made this decision and this pact with my housemate back in October. We had both wanted to do it for a while and there aren't many people these days who have non-treated hair.

Well, this weekend, I cut my hair. And it felt good to give it away to people who really needed it. It felt so good that after I had my haircut, within the day, I decided that I would do it again. Apparently, it takes 6 ponytails to make a wig. I only donated 2 this weekend.

And so, even though I just wanted to do this once, I am planning to do it 2 more times so that I can donate a full wig. It will take about 2.5 years, so get ready to see me growing my hair really long and then cutting it all off.
