That is a cool list! It's nice to look back and realize...hey, I'm *living* life. Even though it sometimes seems like all we do is take care of our kidlets...:)

"136. Killed and prepared an animal for eating." That one made me laugh like a maniac...
I've done VERY FEW of these... uh oh.
You've done a lot. I have too. :) But it's fun to run down, isn't it?
It's a fun list. I liked the giggle fit one...in one show I was in in high school I was, well, a dead body. Thankfully my laughing fits were only during rehearsals. I was fine during performances. :)
it is an interesting and fun list. and now I am trying to think what I can dare you to do. ;)
WOW - this was cool. I've never hit a home run - good for you and for dancing like crazy and not caring who in the world was looking at you!!! Take care my friend. See you soon. Kellan
You've never climbed a mountain? It's time for you to do that.
And what's the deal with writing your own computer language (#140). Do people do that in their spare time?
This is a great list- reminds me of a few things I should get to work on!
Stumbled upon your blog -- noticed you had three very young boys. I only have one (nearly 5 months) and am amazed that someone does this with more than one! I also have a hubby named Todd. I know, the things that we get excited about.
I loved the list. I just can't help but think about all the things I've got to do, need to do, could do, should do . . . ugh.
That's a cool list. I'm going to do it on my blog soon.
I love this list. You've done a lot of crap. I may have to revisit this on my blog sometime.
BTW, I linked to you, b/c you are a rockin' cool chick.
