What fun! I love these games.
Wow, so many things to do! I better get going on them!
Boy, did not realize that I had a long ways to go:):)
So fun! I need to remember to do this later. I went to Bernadettes store the other day and bought more buttons - thought of you.
Wow! You've done a lot of fun things - and reading the things you've done shows how happy and content with life you are. That's excellent!
Tai chi IS a martial art :-). What size does the book have to be in order to be read in just one day?
I don't think I have done most of the activities listed, except for learning a new language.
Goood list.
Greetings from London.
How fun! I'm going to give it a try, too!
This is fun but goes on for a long time!
Good insight.
I'll have to try it later.
Nap time now! -the joys of not having a day job.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING
I want to hold a lamb.

That was fun! I can mark off 61...for most of the rest I can see I need to get off this continent more:D There are a few that at this point in my life are just not going to be happening...and I'm more that cool with that!
love this..I think you are bolder than myself.
Great list. I feel exhausted reading all the things yet to do!
This is awesome, totally going to snag it for today's blog :) I think we can both be grateful for the fact that neither of us have had to sit on a jury but that we have both gotten flowers for no reason huh? This is a fantastic tie in to Thanksgiving :)
a salsa garden??? *raises eyebrow*
sounds like something i could do successfully without killing off everything.
This list is such a great way to find out more about someone. Would you mind if I copied it onto my Blog and shared it? It's something different then what I usually post, but still so fun and unique!
KGC-
Please do!
Hey Charmaine, some of the things here make me want to pick up the phone & ask you for details!!!...so luckily, I don't know yr phone number :)
You never bounced a check??
This is cool.. I may do it too!
Wow! I saw this on Random Lunacy's blog and followed her link to you and now I'm going to do it with mine as well. Great list!
how interesting and fun, think I will try it out too.
: )
That was fun! One thing that became very clear to me while reading the list was that I need to travel! I enjoyed discovering the things you've done :)
That was fun!
Love the quotes you posted, too!
xoxo
It's really interesting to read other people's answers to this meme-thing. So many of us have saved a childhood toy, for example :)
