Blog: My very full lifeMy very full life
This was fun for me. I stole this list from someone's blog, and then put the things I did in italics. I was happy that I experienced just over 42% of these things. (Why are there 99?) Although, I'm not shooting for 100%. Some of these things I won't feel bad if I never do, like buy a new car, or get stung by a bee.

I have 34 years on you. And we have done many of the same things on this list. We maybe should have but didn’t do them together. 96. When I swan in the Great Salt Lake the water was deep enough to swim and float in. 91.Who were your famous people? Mine were Vincent Price and Charlton Heston, before they were dead. And some things I did ages earlier so they my have been very different places. The first time I 73-Stood in Times Square was 30 years before you were born, the second time was 4 years before I was married. We both 76- Saw the Changing of the Guards in London when we were about 22 years old.
You have done 4 things I have not done. But I have done 19 things you have yet to do.
Such as: 33-Seen Niagara Falls in person (twice.) 38-Seen the Leaning Tower of Pisa in person. 40-Seen Michelangelo's David.42-Seen Old Faithful geyser erupt. 49-Seen the Sistine Chapel in person. 61-Sold Girl Scout Cookies. 69-Saved a favorite childhood toy. 70-Visited the Lincoln Memorial. 79-Seen the Grand Canyon in person. 81-Visited the Vatican. 99-Been stung by a bee.
90-Does jury duty count if I spent all day and was dismissed because I knew a police man personally?
It is interesting that the writer of the questions has included five things in Italy. Two of those are similar after all the Sistine chapel is in the Vatican. And three things about Paris. When you visited Paris did you climb the Eiffel Tower, and see the Mona Lisa? I’m guessing the questions came from his own experiences. You could write a better list. 100. Taught school in Fiji?
I saw you in a movie about a "Woom Companion" or something.
done: 1, 2, 3(school),5, 7, 8, 9, 16, 18, 20(a little tylenol pm works wonders for those train rides!) 21, 23, 24, 30, 33, 36(Kinda.... MTC!), 37, 39, 41(it is all over in China!), 42, 52, 53, 54, 56 (go to Mutianyu section instead of badalin! Little further from Beijing, but much better!), 58 (but I did not take it too long), 64, 75, 77, 84, 85, 87 (while... helped out anyway... turkey on Trek), 88, 93, 98 and 99 (it was actually a wasp... stupid wasp!)
I'm at just over 56%... Most shameful? Bounced a check in 10th grade. Most awesomey? Hitch-hiked (a 3 hour drive in Guatemala no less, all the way to Guatemala City). Most wanting to do? Africa. Definitely.
