Holey moley...add this to your list of things done: published a super-duper long list of a post.
I'm going to go back and read another 50 LOL!!
This is good though..just a copy and paste, bold and comment. Great way of getting to know a person!
You've ridden an elephant or giraffe? I have to guess elephant.
Have to check out spelunking? I've never heard of it so off to google. I'm blown away at the things I HAVEN'T done. You've been one busy girl LOL!
Debbie, blogger was being a turd last night, so I had to write them all out. It wouldn't paste them in the box. Grr!
I've ridden an elephant (and a camel too). :) It's not really a smooth ride at all.
I had to check out spelunking too. From what I read, it's exploring a cave. I've been to two that I can remember.
THAT is quite a list. I see I have some things I need to do ;) Thanks for sharing it, it's fun learning more about my blog friends. Have a good Monday.
Very cool. I'm way too lazy to type that up, but it's an awesome list.
And you didn't finish your z-pack? Oy. I've been on the double z-pack for pneumonia before, it's quite potent stuff.
I'm pretty sure my husband would outright kill me if I didn't finish a prescription.
Lanny- I love the list! You've done some awesome stuff!
Coming soon: the Legally Blonde Ambition book club. I think it is your perfect excuse to start reading some adult books......... besides there aren't any dues or pesky meetings to attend- just good reading :-) Besides, Katie & Eddie said they'd join. You can't miss out....
