99

I've seen this floating around Blogland, so I thought I'd give it a try. Bold things are things I've done. I'm thinking I might come back to this list over time to see if I can cross some of these babies off. 


For now, here you go:


1. Started your own blog

Check!

2. Slept under the stars

Pretty sure I slept in a blow up jumper once {I was young, don't judge my lack of certainty}. 

3. Played in a band

Always wanted to though.

4. Visited Hawaii

Read about one trip here.

5. Watched a meteor shower

Junior year of college.

6. Given more than you could afford to charity

7. Been to Disneyland

Advantage to living in SoCal, been many times.

High school senior trip

Freshman year of college

8. Climbed a mountain

Was gonna say Big Bear Mountain, but realized I drove up that one.

9. Held a praying mantis

Totally sang Peter Pan's "I won't grow up." I wish I had video footage, it'd be all over this blog.

I feel like I have to do this at some point.

12. Visited Paris

I definitely have to do this at some point.

13. Watched a lightening storm

15. Adopted a child

Maybe one day...

16. Had food poisoning

Fun stuff.

19. Seen the Mona Lisa in France

20. Slept on an overnight train

21. Had a pillow fight

22. Hitch hiked

But I have picked up a hitch hiker! That was Mom and Dad's call. In Hawaii. Not sketch at all.

23. Taken a sick day when you're not ill

Totally got caught too. Cried the whole time when I was in line for a ride at Sea World.

24. Built a snow fort

25. Held a lamb

But I have held a baby cow!

26. Gone skinny dipping

Scandalous.

I really need to get out of the country to start checking some of these off.

52. Kissed in the rain

53. Played in the mud

There's a super cute pic of us neighbors playing in the mud as babies/toddlers. Maybe I'll dig it up sometime, but pretty sure I'm only in a diaper. Almost as scandalous as skinny dipping.

54. Gone to a drive in theater

Love the drive in!

55. Been in a movie
