Oh fun!!!! I am WAAAAY too big of a coward for a tattoo, but I have milked a cow, eaten shark fin soup, and pretty much live my life as a super hero--Queen of Fantasy Land. :)

[Dani]

Thanks for the perfectly simple way to see if I remembered how to post! (no, really - THANK YOU!) I did this over on my blog, and I too was surprised to see I actually had a decent amount bolded :)

[Elspeth]

Even though you got 60 and I only got 58, I enjoyed filling it out!

[Becky]

I am definitely going to post this later today...I think that I might be pleasantly surprised that I've done some pretty neato and scary things in my life. Off to work first...

[Gail]

Our "done it" lists are scarily similar, considering how dissimilar general descriptions of each of us are. The one that made me laugh hardest at myself? #52. So true. Humans are funny that way.

[Nephele]

I just posted my list. I've done about a third of it which is more than I expected. Still have lots to do though :-)

[Nephele]

I just posted my list. I was surprised to discover I've done about half the list (so far). I would have thought it was less but there you go. Still have a lot to do though ;-)

[Jennifer]

Fun. Just added it to my blog. :)

[Debra]

We've never met but I knit at BAM on occasion and have "met" you by reading Turtlegirl's blog. Anyway, thanks for posting this, it got me to add another post to my fairly new blog.
Hope to meet you the next time you're in Charlotte.
