Lately, I've just been making random lists of things that I've either always wanted to do or that I haven't done in a really long time.
1) Batting Cage - When I told my brother this one a couple of days ago, he laughed. I specifically remember going to batting cages on several occasions and being really good at it. Now, I have to go and take him as a witness that I can totally hit a ball. In fact, I can hit as many as the machine throws at me. Bring it.
2) Ski Ball or Arcade games in general, but especially ski ball - I haven't played since I was probably 10. The kids ate at Pizza Planet in Hollywood Studios on our last trip to Disney and played a quick game before heading back out to the park. It took everything in me not to push them aside and play myself. I love that game.
3) Miniature Golf - I haven't played since 2009. At one time, I was pretty good at it. I'm sure I stink by now after all this time.
4) Bowling - I think the last time I went bowling was on a date. Anyone who knows me doesn't need me to fill in that blank. It's been a LONG while.
5) Whiffle Ball game - The last time I played was at Christmas or Easter a couple years ago at my grandmother's house. The whole family played and I really want to play again.
6) Play Kickball - I haven't played since I was about 13 at church. That may have also been around the time that while we were running around one Sunday after church, my nose made contact with a friend's forehead. I went home that day with blood all over my dress and a really messed up nose. Now that I think about it, that could have been the end of my running around and frolicking days.
7) This one is seriously embarrassing, but because I should give you something for reading my nonsense, I'll share. I've never been on a ferris wheel. Ever. Hello. My name is Sunni. I'm 26 years old and I've never ridden a ferris wheel. Sad, I know. (Side note: When I was typing that I seriously had to do some quick math because I could NOT remember if I was 26 or 27. It's going to keep going downhill from here isn't it?)
8) Swim - I can't swim and I really wish I could find someone I trust enough with my life to teach me to swim. Is it more sad that I can't swim or that I've never been on a ferris wheel?
9) Water skiing - I've never actually done this before because, well, see number 8. It really looks like fun though.
10) Badminton - We had a badminton set a LONG time ago and I loved it....even though I was really bad at it.
11) Tennis - My brother used to play pretty regularly with several friends of his. They offered to take me one day and teach me. After 5 minutes, one of them told me to sit down on the side and just look cute because I was unteachable. How rude. I should totally learn to play and then look those guys up and beat them. When did I become so competitive??
12) Board games - I'm a total board game NERD. Honestly, I'm probably just a total nerd. Period. I haven't played a board game that wasn't Lucky Ducks, Chutes and Ladders, Candyland, Toy Story Kerplunk, etc...in a LONG time. I would love to have a bunch of people over to play board games.
13) Go Karts - I haven't raced go karts on a track in forever.
My goal for the year is to mark off as many of these off as possible. I'm working on finding joy in little things and just enjoying life.
