Bullets, Bitches and Brownies. (AKA No. 7 from the list)






--A




Well I did one off my list. I went to the range with my friend Edna, the gun-tooting perv, and I totally enjoyed it. GTP has a whole array of guns: three 22's and one 22 rifle; and .375 and a .44. She also makes cookies and brownies so one of the guys named their shooting club, "Bullets, Bitches and Brownies".

It was wild. I was shooting the 22 automatic and bullets were flying. A few came back at me but that made it all the more exciting. I will definitely go again. I kept picturing myself with a gun with a silver plated pearl handle. GTP said I did good. I hit my paper but I did not get the bull's eye. I moved up to the .357 and it was powerful in fact getting into the small booths you could feel the energy or kick back of everyone else's guns. It was intense. When I fired the .44 it felt like my arm was jello and I really didn't have control of it. While we were there a group of security guards came in to qualify to renew their license. It got so loud and crazy but a lot of them were really good shots. I was really impressed.

thought of some more for the big 4 0

18. Cannes Film Festival - take Hermanas
19. Hike some of the Appalachian Trail which could be really cool as long I don't see any freaky "The Hills have Eyes" people wondering around town.
20. Try to get "imaginary" husband to a social event which Hermana is attending.

Well, the list is half way done. I am pretty proud of myself and excited about the list. Some of it is definitely within reach and there are a few that are a bit out there. Now I just need to find 20 more.

21. Learn to windsurf - something I always say I am going to do.
22. Go to the Super Bowl Game - preferably with the 49ers or Steelers playing.
23. Go to a professional basketball game.
24. Ocean Kayaking.
25. Spa vacation in Mexico which I said I was going to do for my graduation but the price kept going up. I hope to some day go; someday soon.

Okay I need 15 more suggestions. This list making is going so well.

I also thought I would try and see every film at the SFIFF but that cute boy Ben said it was impossible. I believe him because he worked for the fest for like ever.
