100 things I might have done.. maybe

The things I’ve done are in GREEN. Those which I have not are in black ...or maybe brown since I'm having fits with formatting tonight. I’d love to see your answers, too, so if you do this, copy/paste on your blog and leave a comment so I can see what you have done!




I HAVE…

1. Started my own blog ~ suppose they put this one in here as a Gimme?

2. Slept under the stars... long, long ago


3. Played in a band


4. Visited Hawaii

5.Watched a meteor shower



7. Been to Disneyland (and Disney World before Epcot?)

8. Climbed a mountain ~ well, that's what we called it anyway - We were in the highlands of Colorado and found a side road to Bonanza that we had to travel... So fun. And we found a 'public' spot that my kids and Tim could finish the hike UP the mountain... I was expecting the Popper, so I guarded the van ;-)


9. Held a praying mantis ~ not sure, but I think I only looked at it

10. Sung a solo ~ as part of a duet, which was long ago and the congregation must have appreciated a "joyful noise" =)


11. Bungee jumped ~ Are you kidding?! I threw myself out a haymow at least once... who needs a bungee. And I'd rather ride a zip line, thank you.

12. Visited Paris


13. Watched lightning at sea


14. Taught myself an art from scratch ~ not sure how to apply this one? Bread-baking?

17. Walked to the top of the Statue of Liberty

18. Grown my own vegetables

19. Seen the Mona Lisa in France

20. Slept on an overnight train ~ not in a private room if that's what this means? Got pretty cozy with a very full train on my last trip about 20 years ago to/from Washington state (20 years ago?! Yikes, my brother's been married a while!    Huummm, I guess I've been married most of that while too...)

21. Had a pillow fight


22. Hitchhiked

23. Taken a sick day when you’re not ill ~ that was my thought anyway, but I was quite sick within 24 hours...

25. Held a lamb? ~ not newborn tho' ~ ask me about beating sheep off my toddler...


27. Run a Marathon ~ some of these are so funny


28. Ridden in a gondola in Venice

32. Been on a cruise ~ meaning in a ship I suppose? (not a car up/down main street, usa?)

34. Visited the birthplace of my ancestors ~ I'm thinking this would mean Norway or Denmark, nope.

35. Seen an Amish community ~ in Wisconsin, not Pennsylvania ~ not sure this really counts

37. Had enough money to be truly satisfied


38. Seen the Leaning Tower of Pisa in person


39. Gone rock climbing

40. Seen Michelangelo’s David ~ it's in the Louvre, right?  But you know that it's not supposed to be the biblical David, right?  It's just a physically perfect man who doesn't exist.  Little lesson in humanism for you.

{edit:  Conny tells me it's not in the Louvre; therefore, no, I've only seen it via media.  Lesson remains valid.  ;-)  Tell me why blogger won't let me change it from green...}

77. Broken a bone ~ January 1976 as my parents were flying out of state for several days.  But as I wrote to my mom, "It's not broken; it's just a slight fracture."  Aha...  vocabulary lesson.

Sorry to those who cut/paste - I added a lot of commentary for you to delete.
And there might be one or two more that should be green, but I plead the 5th...This is still America.  =)
By the way, I got this meme from Conny, who got it from Kari...

{edit:  After some sleep and thought, I've deleted a few items that were bugging me...  I should learn to think first, then post}
