Checkin' off my "Happy List"!!!

Hey Everyone!

Some call it a bucket list... but in my world it's a Happy List! lol And nothing feels better than checking off something on that list!
Well... that's not entirely true! Checking off TWO things in the span of 4 days feels pretty FANTASTIC!!! :D

So what did I do? Well....

First and so mind blowing-ly (is that a word?!... it is now!) unbelievable is that I got to see.... wait for it.... PITBULL IN CONCERT!!!!!!!!!!

Holy Guacamole!!! (My spanish is limited so cut me some slack! :P)

If you are unaware of my absolute LOVE for Pitbull, just rest assured that it is a HUGE love and borders on sickness! lol Seriously, I go numb from the waist down when his music comes on! (Don't judge! lol).

Here are Dani, Nancy and I waiting for the show to start... I had to scam their photos since I was too excited to remember to take some of my own! Jeeze!!! hahaha

And here he is!!! Mr.305/Mr.Worldwide himself!!! GRrrrrr! ;)

And another cause... well who needs a reason for more Pitbull?! lol

I promise to update this blog with more photos and possibly a video, once I get hold of them... cause I know they exist ;) lol

But let me assure you... I shook my money maker the whole time, couldn't stop smiling AND and giggled every time he said Dalee!!! Yep I did! *sigh* lol

Ok... on to the second thing I checked off!

Another one of my happy list "to do's" was to have my picture taken with a BIG bodybuilder man!!! 

If you think this is weird, just know that I am a) 4'11" and b) have an affection for big and or tall people... can't explain it... I just do! lol

So just four short days later I found myself being introduced (by Coach Compton) to the one and only... 4x Mr.Olympia himself... Jay Cutler!!! Oh Yaaa!!! And what a total hottie he is!!! (if by any stretch of the imagination he actually reads this... I will be SOooooo embarrassed!!! :P)

And here we are! :)

hehehe.... so cute!!! Thanks Jay for helping a girl with her "Happy List" ;)

In hindsight, I am now wondering why I don't have a pic of just myself and Mr.Jimmy Mentis?! Seriously?! OK! The great thing about these lists is that you are always adding new things... at least you should be!!!

I have just decided to add the following.... have a photo taken with Jimmy in full "gun show" pose hahahaha AND to see Pitbull again... in MIAMI!!! ;)

Yep! They are formally added to the list!

I hope if you're reading this that it has inspired you to either create a list OR add to one you've already started!

I know that even as recent as two years ago, I would've been too self conscious to do half the things I'm doing now. But I am now realizing the following...

Life is worth living... in the words of good ole Abe himself...

Til next time...

Happy list hugs... Crystal :) xo

My "Happy List"... so far!

Hi Everyone! :)

It's been a long while since I put any thought into my "list". You know the one... all things you'd like to experience in your lifetime.

It seems natural, when a big change occurs, to re evaluate and think about all those things you've always wanted to do but haven't yet.

So I say... lets stop thinking and get down to doing!!! :)

You'll notice that most of the things I want to do are very non threatening and all of them are definitely based on things I love :)

Let"s start with my #1, most dangerous and possibly insane thing that I will be doing...

Shark cage diving w/ Great Whites!!! :D

Ever since I can remember, I have been intrigued with sharks... many would say that's not enough reason to get into the water with them lol. I say... there's a cage, I'll be fine! ;)

Seriously, how cool would this be?!?! Not to mention that JAWS is one of my FAVE movies and Captain Quint reminds me of my Uncle Lewis from Newfoundland! :)

Next and definitely not scary is...

The Paris Opera House

Pretty tame in comparison lol

I can't even fathom how beautiful it would be in person.

Again, based on another fave movie (and musical) of mine... I'll probably break into tears standing in front of it. And if I'm going to be in Paris... I might as well got to Italy and Portugal!

The Mayan Ruins

No real reason, I'm just drawn to it... might be the ancient love of chocolate! ;)

"Hogwarts" Castle

Yep, I'm a big Harry Potter fan lol

Castles in general are amazing and a tour would be right up my ally!!!

Since I'm touring castles... bring on Scotland!!! Why? Well it looks beautiful and......
They have kilted men there!!! ;) Love me some men in kilts!!! LOL GRrrrrr.....

Last but absolutely not least...

Al Capones' home in Cuba

I did a project on Al Capone in high school... he was pretty fascinating! I'd like to see what his tax evasion money built! lol

Cuba is, from what I hear, beautiful and a bunch of fun. I'm not much of a drinker so the idea of the all exclusive vacay doesn't sway me at all.

What does float my boat is cuban music, dancing, all things latin and of course......

My favourite Cuban... Pitbull ;) GRrrrrrrrr..... (yes, my hubby is fully aware of my crush and he just rolls his eyes ;)

So, now that I've shared some of my "list" with you... I want to know... What's on your list? Don't have one? Now's a good time to start!!!

Until next time... Enjoy some Pitbull (make sure to dance... I am!!! :D)

Salsa dancing Hugs... Crystal :) xo
