My friend had this list on her blog and was encouraging others to copy it and then bold the things you've done. It's a fun way to remind yourself of all the things you have done and of fun things that still lie ahead. I'd love to see the list copied by any of you who read my blog as well. Until then, take a look at things I've done.... so far!

You haven't been skinny dipping. My, my, my next time we go to the cabin you had better come stay at our house :-)
I think you can count #47. You may not have ha a portrait painted of you but you did have a professional photographer take a sexy picture of you that was later made into a poster that I hope is still hanging in your house.
I would count it!
And by the way...Got Milk?
I should have guessed that you've never bounced a check (not that I made a habit of it, but it did happen a couple of times many years ago).
#3? Do you not count our proud troupe of Boom-Whackers?
