I saw this over at Darcie’s and Stephanie’s. It’s a really random list; not really aspirational, or well-rounded, or anything like that. I think that’s what makes it so much fun!

The things I have done are in BOLD!

4. Visited Hawaii
5. Watched a meteor shower
6. Given more than I can afford to charity
7. Been to Disneyland/world (Disneyworld and Euro Disney)

9. Held a praying mantis
10. Sung a solo (…unless the shower counts)
11. Bungee jumped
12. Visited Paris
13. Watched lightening at sea (Who goes to sea anymore?!)

23. Taken a sick day when you’re not ill
24. Built a snow fort
25. Held a lamb (We went an awesome three-day ‘lambing’ trip to Wales when I was 13)
26. Gone skinny dipping (I want to!)
27. Run a Marathon
28. Ridden in a gondola in Venice (I was in Venice, but the family decided a gondola cost too much)
29. Seen a total eclipse (When was that, 98 or 99? We happened to be in Germany, one of the places you could see the whole thing)
30. Watched a sunrise or sunset (Sunrises are my favourites of the two, but it’s a close call)

32. Been on a cruise (down the Nile)
33. Seen Niagara Falls in person (My mom’s family is from outside Buffalo, NY…every family vacation, we’d pop on over)
