Things I've Done

I've seen this on a few friends' blogs, and thought it was kind of fun. And it made me realize I've done very little that involves donating money or doing charity. Shame on me! So, this is kind of like the game "I've Never" only in reverse. Change the color to red on the ones you've done:

1. Started your own blog--ta da!
2. Slept under the stars--when I was little. Now I think too much about bugs crawling around in the grass.
3. Played in a band--does marching band and symphonic band count?
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--Mount Timpanogos every year for about 10 years. I don't think I'd make it now.
9. Held a praying mantis
10. Sang a solo
11. Bungee jumped
12. Visited Paris
13. Watched a lightning storm at sea
14. Taught yourself an art from scratch--as long as you consider duct tape purses art.
15. Adopted a child
16. Had food poisoning
17. Walked to the top of the Statue of Liberty--I only made it to the toes. Wimpy.

35. Seen an Amish community--the lovely town of Intercourse, PA. True fact. It's a real place, and I have the pictures to prove it. Good pretzels!
36. Taught yourself a new language--Southerner language. The other ones have been taught to me.
37. Had enough money to be truly satisfied--ah, to be single and carefree with money again!

82. Bought a brand new car
83. Walked in Jerusalem
84. Had your picture in the newspaper
85. Read the entire Bible
86. Visited the White House--Like the Vatican, I was on the outside looking in because I didn't want to get up at 5am to get in line. So, I've sort of visited the White House.
87. Killed and prepared an animal for eating
88. Had chickenpox
89. Saved someone’s life
90. Sat on a jury
91. Met someone famous--I was 10 feet away from Bon Jovi, Christina Agulera, Harry Connick, Jr. (who looked at me after I accidently screamed, "It's Harry Connick Jr!" really really loud), and NSYNC. But I have actually met a few General Authorities that came to different concerts I was in, so I think that really counts.
92. Joined a book club
93. Lost a loved one
94. Had a baby--not just one, but TWO!!!
95. Seen the Alamo in person
96. Swam in the Great Salt Lake--gross. Don't ever want to.
97. Been involved in a law suit--I was the secretary for a company that did accident reconstruction for law suits, so I think that sort of counts, since I had to do all the scheduling surrounding their involvement in the law suits.
98. Owned a cell phone
99. Been stung by a bee
100. Seen Mount Rushmore in person
101. Learned to play an instrument

So, it looks like I have some things left to do in my life, like bungee jumping and publishing a book. But I think I've had a pretty great life, looking at all the fun things I've done!
