Erin M. posted this on her blog and I thought this List of 100 Things you Must do in your Lifetime would be fun to post here.
Everything below that is in bold I've done. Now I just need to work on the rest of them.
1. Started your own blog - hello, you are reading it.
2. Slept under the stars
3. Played in a band - I don't have any musical talent, so I don't see this happening anytime soon.
4. Visited Hawaii
5. Watched a meteor shower
6. Given more than you can afford to charity
7. Been to Disneyland
8. Climbed a mountain
9. Held a Praying Mantis
10. Sang a solo - again, with the music talent.
11. Bungee jumped - I'd love to do this, I've always wanted to.
12. Visited Paris - It's on my with list!
13. Watched an amazing lightning storm
14. Taught yourself an art from scratch
15. Adopted a child - this is something I would really like to do. I've adopted a cat, so it's a start.
16. Had food poisoning
17. Walked to the top of the Statue of Liberty - I've stood in front of it, does that count?
18. Grown your own vegetables
19. Seen the Mona Lisa in France
20. Slept on an overnight train
21. Had a pillow fight
22. Hitch hiked
23. Taken a sick day when you’re not ill
24. Built a snow fort
25. Held a lamb - not only help, but saved! One time while E and I were on the way to the farmhouse I noticed a tiny lamp on the outside of the pasture fence. We slowed down and stopped. The lamp was crying and crying and trying to get back to her Mommy. I scooped up the little guy and plopped her on the right side of the fence. She was so happy to see her mommy again, she skipped and bounced and tripped. So cute.
26. Gone skinny dipping - anybody that knows me, knows I've done this many many times. Allison might remember "naked parties" after the swim teacher left my house when I was about eight. Erin will remember Lake Powell, convincing her and her sisters to strip down right near her family. Great memories.
27. Run a Marathon
28. Ridden in a gondola in Venice - on my honeymoon.
29. Seen a total eclipse
30. Watched a sunrise or sunset - both, many times, in many countries.

32. Been on a cruise - I've been on a transatlantic crossing. Does that count? I say yes.
33. Seen Niagara Falls in person - really awesome, I want to go again.
34. Visited the birthplace of your ancestors - I've been to England but have yet to make it to Hungary and Poland. So I've done half of this, hence the reason half is in bold. ;)

36. Taught yourself a new language - I wish. I'd love to learn Italian one day.
37. Had enough money to be truly satisfied - yes.
38. Seen the Leaning Tower of Pisa in person - not that great. Florence is much better.

40. Seen Michelangelo’s David - walk behind to see the best part, his ass!

43. Bought a stranger a meal at a restaurant - I bought a hobo coffee and a donut once.
44. Visited Africa

51. Gone scuba diving or snorkeling - I've done both.
52. Kissed in the rain -I've done much much more than kissing ;)
