Which mountain do you want to climb? Also, send me some pics of your dream rooms and let me look for stuff for you; we can bring it out this summer if I find anything. Love ya,

I am glad you included a few things you’ve already done. A few of the things you claim you haven’t done yet are debatable. For example, you sewed an awesome blanket for me, remember? I’m really thinking of doing the no new clothes thing for 2010…we should do it together…I think I’d stick to it better that way. And I love that eating a rattlesnake is right above being a better vegetarian!

Ha! I ate rattlesnake in high school, when I thought vegetarians were a bunch of weirdos. But it’s kinda cool, so yeah, I don’t regret it.

What an inspiring list! I did one of these about a year ago and got so excited about it but then stashed it away and now don’t even remember most of the things on there. Looks like it’s time to pull it back out!
April 12, 2010 at 11:26 pm
46. Go on a cool trip with Carrie, Kristin, and Wendy when we’re 51… WHAT ABOUT ME? 😦

Adam says that your psychic must have told you i would die at the age of 48 and that is why i am not on this list… still sad!

Schmand, if you are not partying with Paul Mitchell The Friends then I would love nothing more than to make it the five of us! And no, you are not going to die at 48.
April 16, 2010 at 11:45 am

Very cool list. I have a similar list that I’m working on, it’s great to mark things off isn’t it? 🙂
August 16, 2010 at 10:12 am
MO! I would listen to your cd if you were to record one. After all, you were my musical inspiration for learning to play guitar in 8th grade. 😉 And where is ‘road trip to Colorado to visit Jo’ on the list? Silly me, I must have passed it by accident. hehe. Love you, girl and I hope you get to do all the things on your list sooner or later! xoxo
