Thursday Thirteen for the End of the World

Tomorrow is December 21st, 2012, and marks the end of the current Mayan calendar. Many have speculated that on this date, it will be the end of the world as we know it.




Hence, I present 13 things I would want to do before the end of the world. Please leave comments - I would love to hear some of yours!

1. Go to Australia and Antarctica. One of my goals is to visit all of the continents, and these are the only two I have left.

2. Have a romantic dinner with my husband at Victoria and Albert's Restaurant.

3. See the Grand Canyon from a hot air balloon.

4. Go to India and get a hug from Mātā Amṛtānandamayī Devī, the "hugging Saint."


5. Say confession at the Vatican and be absolved by a Cardinal (end of the world - better cover all my bases!)

6. As long as I am in Italy, drive as fast as I can on the Autostrada in a convertible.

7. Have birthday cake. Since I won't be having any more birthdays...

8. See the Saints win the Superbowl. Oh wait! That already happened! I can die happy. Maybe I'll just punch Roger Goodell instead.


9. Eat as much lobster as possible with lots of lemon butter sauce.

10. Take a trip on psychedelic mushrooms.

11. Have dinner with my three daughters at our favourite restaurant in Little Italy. Or maybe my favourite trattoria in Italy! We can drive from Rome to Florence on the Autostrada in a convertible together!


12. Finish writing this #$%*!! sequel to Pulse and Prejudice!

13. The last day before the end of the world, I would want to stay in bed making love with my husband all day. On psychedelic mushrooms.
