Lisa: 29 x 29
When I was making my list of things I want to do, I started thinking about the things I've already done. I think everyone should do this--we all need a little pat on the back and a reminder that we've experienced some pretty cool things.
In the last 29 years, I have...
1. Backpacked through Europe
2. Become a regular at a restaurant
3. Bought my own house
4. Chosen a pumpkin from a pumpkin patch
5. Collected trilobite fossils
6. Cooked with fresh herbs I grew
7. Danced in the rain like a crazy person
8. Earned a Master’s degree
9. Finished a marathon
10. Found the best recipe for chocolate chip cookies
11. Given birth
12. Hung my own art in my home
13. Landed a job in a career I love
14. Laughed until I peed my pants
15. Married someone who thinks talking nonsense as I fall asleep is charming
16. Performed in front of an orchestra (four times)
17. Picked fresh raspberries
18. Printed using an old-fashioned letterpress
19. Seen the Grand Canyon
20. Shopped for honey at a Trappist monastery
21. Spent the night on a train
22. Started my own business
23. Stayed up all night reading a book
24. Stood in four states at once
25. Swam with a sea turtle
26. Touched a stalagmite
27. Tried water-skiing and snow-skiing
28. Worn something I knitted
29. Written a blog featured on Boing Boing
Aww, trilobite hunting! That was fun. I noticed that "followed the Pony Express trail" didn't make the list.
I'm so glad that I got to be there for some of the items on this list.
I also noticed meeting Jeremy Jacobson wasn't on there. I guess I'm not all that after all. oh well. *sigh I guess I'm too egotistical. BUT IT'S NOT MY FAULT. When I was three years old a dog bit me. Not a normal dog. A magical, enchanted dog. Except he had rabies. And his victims always suffered from personality flaws later.
