I want to have adventures! I want to be a secret agent,
And spy on the enemy! I want to go on a jungle safari, and hand-feed a tiger raw meat! I want to fall off a trapeze in the circus, and hear the crowd gasp, just before I land on the tightrope in a perfect single-hand-stand! and juggle with the clowns as the other performers get ready.
I want to climb mount Everest, ( ever notice how that looks like Ever-rest?) and smell the fresh mountain air! I want to swim with the dolphins, and feel their smooth rubbery skin!
I want to travel to India, so I can rub elbows with a rajah,
And shake hands with a fakir! I want to be a snake charmer, and watch a deadly cobra rise out of my basket, completely mesmerized by my music. I want to bungee jump off a cliff, and hear my heart pounding, and see my life racing in front of my eyes, just before the rope reaches its limit inches above the ground, and I spring waaaay back up onto the platform! I want to climb the tallest redwood tree, and see the birds and the clouds around me when I reach the top! I want to fight with a karate master, and make sure everyone sees my smile when I win!
I want to scuba dive waaaay under the sea, and see the great barrier reef, and all the fish inside! i want to go to Australia, and play a didgeridoo!
i want to learn gymnastics and acrobatics, and do amazing tricks as the crowd watches in awe! I want to thwart an evil genius, with plans of taking over the world!
I want to win the Olympics, and hear the crowd cheering for me, as the star spangled banner plays on the speakers. i want to go to Hawaii, and hang ten on the perfect wave! i want to go to Tibet, and see the yeti himself!
But most of all, one of the best things I want to do in life, is
Have a pet cat of my own. :P

I love it! Except the cat part ;-) Maybe we can find some adventures to do around here.
Beautifully written, Bridget. Sometimes the simple pleasures in life are the best of all!
Hi, I'm a friend of your mom's from college. Looks like she's done a good job with you! :) Just wanted to say that I have been swimming with dolphins, and it was wonderful!

Hi! i know it seems weird for the author of the blog to be commenting, but i just want to say thanks to everyone who commented! (who wasn't me!) oh, and Joyous? down at the bottom? how did you know i was related to mom? i don't post my last name or anything.
Your mom has very smart friends. ;) (No, really, she linked to your blog on her FB account.) (Not that I'm not smart, too, of course.)
It's not weird at all to comment on your own blog; I do it all the time:-) I enjoyed your post. I'd love to do some of those things, too! My parents live in Hawaii and I grew up there. One of my wishes is to go back there and have a house for all of my friends to come visit...and you're welcome to visit!

Bridget, you are blessed with great intelligence and a rich imagination, both wonderful qualities. Some of your adventures, if done for real, would surely bring Mom to near panic though!! LOL
As for the cat, at least you can play with the ones at Grandmas (or come to my house anytime!)
Keep up your fabulous writing and terrific dreams. I expect to be reading your best-sellers some day!
