Husband Wanted

Author's note: This was written satirically to model 'Wife Wanted' a piece read in my English class. This is for humorous intent, I don't have ANY of these expectations, so don't freak out. Thank you.

     I am unmarried. I have been unmarried for seventeen years. And I now feel an urge to tie myself down to a male. More specifically, I want a husband.
    Now for a male to be considered eligible to court me, he  must fufill some requirements. He must be of the same religion I am, taller than me; he must be attractive, but not too attractive lest I feel he is too good for me. He must be able to converse with me in matters I find interesting. He must always smell good. He must be talented musically. He must find Southern accents irresistible. And he will understand that he shouldn't socially interact with other females besides me, while not getting upset when I am accidentally charming to other men. 
    If he fits all these requirements and a mutual attraction develops, he must ask my father, stepfather, uncle, and any other male that plays some sort of role in my life, if he may court me. He musn't show any nervousness and be excruciatingly respectful.
    If all goes well, I imagine we'll date for a couple of years, years full of romantic dinners and multiple exchanges of stuffed animals holding hearts.
 
       When the time comes, I imagine he'll have planned the most spectacular night a girl could have, and he'll propose. We'll get married in a big church with lots of guests and lots and lots of cake; of course I'll be wearing the most beautiful wedding dress money can buy. We will be very happy. For our honeymoon we'll backpack Europe, a dream of mine.
        We'll settle down eventually, and have two or three children; he'll sit by my side as I go through more pain than I thought I could bear. He'll go to work as I do laundry, cook for the kids, clean up after the kids, play with the kids, and keep the dog out of the cat's litterbox. I'll kiss every boo-boo and prepare organic food every night.
        Our kids will grow up and one by one leave the house. Feeling a lack of purpose, I'll start volunteering more and dressing up the dog. At some point and time our kids will bring home kids, and our hair will start to gray. We'll get to the point where we're doing good if we remember each other's names.
 
I mean, isn't that what it's all about?
 
Over and out.

Love,
C

My Bucket List

    So...I decided to do a bucket list. Of things I want to do before I kick the bucket. This was inspired by sarcaschicks, just fyi. MOVING ON.

MY THINGS TO DO BEFORE I KICK THE BUCKET LIST
1. Rock climb again. I have not gone rock climbing since my parents divorced. And I would like to do that again, I have fond memories of times that we went. 
2. Be the lead role. I want to be a lead role. In a movie or on stage. So badly. It doesn't matter if I have the role when I'm 17 or when I'm 45, I want one. 
3. I want to inspire someone. I want someone to walk up to me and say, "Cailin, you inspired me." It would just make life more than worth it.
4. Backpack Europe. I know a lot of girls who want to do this and hey, I don't blame them! It just sounds like a lovely adventure, filled with all kinds of wonderful experiences.
5. Get kissed on the Eiffel Tower. Yes, another cliche, I'm full of 'em. But...I can't help myself. (As I write this, I'm blushing, just so you know.) (Writing all of this on the internet might be a bad idea.)
6. Skinny dip. Don't judge. 
7. Find meaning in life. So many people wander around, not getting what they're 'sposed to do in life. I don't want to be one of those lost souls.
8. Have enough money to give back to those who need it. I want to be wealthy enough to give more to the world. Wether that is buying food at a farmer's market, or sponsoring a child overseas. I aim for that.
9. Write a book. It would be fun. Trying to get it published might turn me into an alcoholic though...
10. Get married to someone I love...and stay married. This is kind of my 'big dream' I guess. I don't like being by myself a ton, so it would be lovely to have someone to walk through life with. One day, I would love to say, "I've been married for-" and then a big number come after.

   So yeah...I feel like I've thoroughly embarrassed myself. Let's put this on twitter! 
Over and ouch.
Love,
Cailin
