Looks like I need to get busy. However, there are several things that I have no desire to do, so I may go back and revise this list of things I've done and really want to do, then post it. For example, I don't ever want to be stung by a bee, so that should not be on my list. Besides, isn't it more of an accomplishment to make it to my age having never been stung? I think so. :) So, I know you can change this around. I get that. But, I wanted to post it as is first. Now I need to get working on a better version. :) Because, half of this list is a "never wanna do" type situations. There are many thing on it that I want to do before I die though.

Oh man, you've never joined a book club? Lot of 'free' books to be had... :)

Jackie said...

Book Clubs are GREAT!!! So much fun! You should find one near you!! It's a great time!!! :D

You sure like Vegas!! :D

Yikes... you/ve been in an ambulance and a helicopter?? WOW!!! :D

Petra said...

You and Matt have both been in an ambulance? I am missing out! I always wanted to be transported in an ambulance (but not for something that was too painful or life-threatening... lol).

As for the book club, I don't know that I would want to be in one. I just never really thought about it before.

I rode to the hospital in an ambulance when Karen was 2. She split her head open, and I couldn't drive her while holding pressure on it. So, I called 911, and we went in an ambulance. They glued her head shut and she still has the scar. It was a little cool only because it's something I had I never done before. :)

And I rode in a helicopter when we were in Vegas 6 yrs ago. We took a tour of the Grand Canyon in a chopper. It was cool. I think we are going to do it again when we go out there in March.

Yeah, I thought I was having a heart attack about 8 years ago and called 911, which resulted in an ambulance ride, turned out to be an electrolyte imbalance though... :)
