Hey, that sounds remarkably like me!
Cheers to having an interesting life!
wow...you really have done a lot.
i so like the fact that i was with you for at least 2 of those life-events.
here's to adding to both of our lists!
But you haven't spent Halloween weekend in New Orleans with 009 yet!
Good God woman, how have they not created a mini-series based on your life?!!
My list would include things like: "have eaten grilled cheese with ketchup" and the such.
Very VERY cool list.
Hurray for an adventurous life, fully lived!
I feel so sheltered and left out! lol
Hmmm...maybe I'll make my own list. It won't be as exciting as that...but maybe it's more than I think. I'll try it.
huggsss :) Loved this post!
Ahhh...Checkpoint Charlie! I don't think I've heard that story before. Have I told you the one about being forceably put on a train back to West Berlin by a HUGE East German soldier?
OMG! I guess I ain't done sh*t!
