Which of these 100 things have you done?
Items 11, 54, 64, and 65 were missing, so I searched around and found a few different versions of them. I used the ones here. Just for the record, I'm absolutely amazed at how many bloggers copied and pasted the list and answered the survey without realizing there were only 96 statements instead of 100. :)
RULES: There are 100 statements and you bold / change the colors of the ones you have done. Grab it and play for yourself!! When you post this on your own blog, come back and link me to your post! and tag four friends while you're at it :o)

3. Played in a band (orchestra)--only if the church worship team counts.
4. Visited Hawaii
5. Watched a meteor shower
6. Given more than you can afford to charity --Not sure how to answer this one. It seems that the more one gives, the more God provides even when it didn't seem feasible on paper. We've never suffered for it, and God has always more than provided for our needs.
7. Been to Disneyland
8. Climbed a mountain.
9. Held a praying mantis
10. Sang a solo

25. Held a lamb --I think I have held a lamb at the fair. I know I've petted lambs. I've held baby goats a number of times.
26. Gone skinny dipping --Only in a recurrent nightmare. You know, that one where you're in a crowded swimming pool and look down and realize you forgot your swimsuit.
27. Run a marathon
28. Ridden in a gondola in Venice
29. Seen a total eclipse (solar)

33. Seen Niagara Falls in person
34. Visited the birthplace of your ancestors
35. Seen an Amish community --I don't think I've done this in person, but I've had Mennonite friends.
36. Taught yourself a new language
37. Had enough money to be truly satisfied --I don't think it's really money or the lack of it that determines someone's level of contentment.
38. Seen the Leaning Tower of Pisa in person
39. Gone rock climbing --I've climbed up rocky hills and big rocks in wilderness areas, but never the type that actually requires special equipment.
40. Seen Michelangelo’s David
41. Sung karaoke
42. Seen Old Faithful geyser erupt
43. Bought a stranger a meal at a restaurant --I don't think I've done it in a restaurant, unless you count giving away a fast food gift certificate to someone who asked for money. But I carry pre-prepared meals in my van to hand out to panhandlers.
44. Visited Africa
45. Walked on a beach by moonlight
46. Been transported in an ambulance
47. Had your portrait painted --Actually, it's a pencil drawing, but my SIL did a great job making a wedding portrait of us. I might have had my portrait painted in high school (homeschool co-op) and university art classes, too. I know there have been plenty of sketches! When you're in art class, you get to be the subject and get stiff siting still in turn with everyone else. :)
48. Gone deep sea fishing --And we pulled in half a barracuda, along with the whole ones!
49. Seen the Sistine Chapel in person
50. Been to the top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris
51. Gone scuba diving or snorkeling
52. Kissed in the rain
53. Played in the mud
54. Gotten a speeding ticket. (One version says gotten OUT of a speeding ticket, and that I would have to bold. --I did get stopped for speeding once. I was going 58 in a 55MPH zone, and the officer asked me if I knew I was speeding, and why I was speeding. I said that I just wasn't paying enough attention and I was very sorry, I was just in a hurry to get home. DH insists that the reason I got only a warning and no ticket because I was 9 months pregnant at the time. That could possibly have contributed, but I maintain it was because (1) I was honest and respectful, (2) It was my first offense, and (3) I was only going THREE MPH over the speed limit. I mean, really, do you think it's incomprehensible that I would get only a warning under those circumstances even if I wasn't pregnant? I ask you. But DH thinks it's an example of how pregnant women get special treatment, and therefore the unfairness of life. LOL.)
55. Been in a movie --I don't think home videos count. :)

61. Sold Girl Scout Cookies
62. Gone whale watching
63. Got flowers for no reason
64. Stayed the night in jail
65. Cried so hard you threw up --I've never done this (at least as an adult), but I have been in so much pain that it caused me to lose my stomach contents. When asked to rank pain on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 as the worst I've ever been in, I figure if I'm not passing out or throwing up or flat-out screaming yet (as opposed to crying, groaning, writhing, etc.), it can't be a 10. My lovely head/jaw pain last week reached only an 8 or 9.
66. Visited a Nazi Concentration Camp
67. Bounced a check
68. Flown in a helicopter --But I've gotten to take the controls of an airplane!

71. Eaten caviar.
72. Pieced a quilt --Only individual squares and doll quilts.
73. Stood in Times Square
74. Toured the Everglades
75. Been fired from a job --Not sure if it counts, but my boss the veterinarian decided to find a replacement for me when I asked about the possibility of working fewer hours on days when not all the employees were needed, due to my health issues.
76. Seen the Changing of the Guards in London
77. Broken a bone
78. Been on a speeding motorcycle --Don't know if it was speeding or not, but I've been on motorcyles a few times with someone else driving, and drove a dirt bike once as a kid.

My Blog
I've spent time over the last several days reading your archives, following your family's journey over the last...3 1/2 years. WOW! Your story has really captivated me, and it's helped me understand my SIL, who has FM, a little better. Thanks for glorifying God in all things and sharing it online. :) Your blog has become a favorite.
This a little bit different of a list than the one going around FaceBook right now. I like this one better. :-)
