I've Never...(This is now WAY too long of a post!)

I got this from Jill's blog, the ones in blue are things I've done, the maroon ones are ones I have not. Copy and paste it on your blog, it is fun. I think the most interesting part is how many of these things I've never done!

Update: Thanks to a better memory from my sister (Tina) I get to check off these two items #33 & #84 (twice). I didn't get her permission, but I'm going to post part of her email here, because I thought it was pretty funny.

"I just read your blog. Like, really read it, I have read it before, but just mostly skimmed and looked at pictures. For example, I never took time to check out your part about what you have done. I would first like to say that you have done two things that you said you did not do.

You HAVE #33: Seen Niagara Falls in person. You were very little, but you did. I know you were there because I was about 5 or 6 and I remember it very well. It was amazing. Ask mom to verify this one.The other thing is #84: Had your picture in the newspaper. Take your pick... Wallace and Ladmo show incident or 6th grade camp. Remember?

That last one is the one that really made me laugh. And thanks Tina for finally "reading" my blog. :-) It looks like I'm going to need to plan a trip to visit you because I'll get to check off a LOT more stuff...as soon as I can talk Joe into coming with me...or we win the lottery.
