Check it off my Bucket List! (That still counts......right?)

For anyone that spends any extended length of time with me, they know that I am a list maker. I admit that sometimes it's on the verge of crazy. Before shopping, I will list out our meals and then list out all the ingredients I will need to buy. (Yeah, that's probably where a normal person would stop. ) I will then proceed to make a NEW list listing all of the ingredients in the order they appear on the aisles from one end of the store to the other.

The peculiarities in my love for list making don't end there. I make lists for tasks I want to accomplish. Sometimes, if I get sidetracked (and let's be honest, it happens) and I accomplish something that' s not on the list, I'll write it down, just so i can have the joy of crossing it off!

So today I came home from the local Catholic school and announced to my husband I could cross one more thing off my Bucket List. "Having lunch with three Sisters." Most of the people I know would call them nuns but there is a difference. (The fact that I can tell you the difference should attest to my learning in the past two weeks.) He laughed and commented, "I didn't realize that was something on your list."

I told him honestly that it wasn't but I might as well put it there so I could have something crossed off. He simply grinned and nodded his head as he looked back down at what was reading. He gets me. Breaking bread and having meaningful conversation with people of a different faith background is something that many should aspire to. So I guess it all begs the one true question.... That still counts...right?
