I think I'll stop there! I think thirty is a good number. It was really fun to write this list and reminded me of many things I had forgotten about... If you know me in real life are there any you'd like to add?
What have you done in your life??

You have enjoyed an active and exciting life. I too have been to Stonehenge.
ReplyDeleteWow, you have had a busy adventurous life.
ReplyDeleteI was born and raised in South Africa and once visited Zimbabwe.
Also saw the Big 5.
I stroked a lion cub.
I've shaved my hair 3 times before and on the 20th of this month will do it again!
I have dressed up as one of the 101 dalmation and danced a dance routine with an ogre from Gummy Bears on stage in front of 3,000 people at our company Christmas party.
Have learned to say the word panhypogammaglobulinaemia without hesitation ;-)
Can't think what else right now!
Hey, that's one hell of a list you have there. Nice!
ReplyDeleteI'd do mine, but it would reveil a lot more than what I'm willing to share on the interwebs right now. Perhaps when I'm a little drunk....
