The List-- from my sister's blog...
My sister put this in her blog and then challenged me to do it too(well, she emailed it to me). So here it is.
Bold the things you’ve done and will admit to:
1. Started your own blog
2. Slept under the stars
3. Played in a band yep, even recorded a cd. And played a show in Cincinnati!
4. Visited Hawaii
5. Watched a meteor shower
6. Given more than you can afford to charity
7. Been to Disneyland/world
8. Climbed a mountain
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
15. Adopted a child (do dogs, cats, or bunny children count?)
16. Had food poisoning
17. Walked to the top of the Statue of Liberty
18. Grown your own vegetables
19. Seen the Mona Lisa in France
20. Slept on an overnight train It's not as cool as it sounds. Believe me.
21. Had a pillow fight
22. Hitch hiked
23. Taken a sick day when you’re not ill It's called a "sick prevention day"
24. Built a snow fort like once, when it even snowed enough...
25. Held a lamb If you think baby goats are cute (and you're right), just wait until you hold a baby lamb. They are probably one of the world's sweetest babies. Second to my own, of course.
26. Gone skinny dipping
27. Run a Marathon (why would I do that?)
28. Ridden in a gondola in Venice Okay, I didn't actually ride in a gondola (too expensive) so I settled for riding the public transportation boat. Much cheaper and still pretty cool. Venice, even loaded as it is with tourists, is quite amazing.
29. Seen a total eclipse

44. Visited Africa (Hopefully someday)
45. Walked on a beach by moonlight
46. Been transported in an ambulance
47. Had your portrait painted do sketches count? If done by a "real" artist? (Lauren, I'm looking in your general direction...)
48. Gone deep sea fishing
49. Seen the Sistine Chapel in person Okay, I haven't, but Adam is over my shoulder saying he has, and since we share everything, I guess I can share that experience, too, right?

79. Seen the Grand Canyon in person
