I love your list. Gives us all a better visual of who you are!! :)

I like this list, but really ~ you love the smell of gasoline? And I’m trying to do # 7 as well, travel where I’ve never been unless Greg hasn’t been there before. Any places you’d recommend for Hawaii? Maybe next year, that can be a destination… And the ending to your list, # 50 is perfect.

This is awesome! I love how sure of yourself you are, you seem like you have lived a "No Regrets" life.

Mind if I post a blog entry like this? I'll totally give you credit for the idea!

Great list! It's nice to know these things about you... I nodded "ditto" at quite a few of those...

that was so cool. I hate the term playdate too!!! I may have to do that on my blog this coming week. I have felt slightly brain-drained when it comes to blogging lately.

Angelina said...

Sounds like you have travelled to some awesome places!

I hate those lame terms, too.

Gigi said...

I really enjoyed your list and getting to know you a little better. Maybe your wish to be a writer could start with a story around #41 - sounds like some great potential.
