100 Random Things I Have/Haven't Done

I've done the ones in blue... I know this tag is about 4 months old. I'm a little behind (and pretending my sisters tagged me back then!)

1. Started your own blog
2. Slept under the stars- on top of a houseboat at Lake Powell, camping multiple times, on the trampoline.
3. Played in a band
4. Visited Hawaii- twice. Once with my fam, once with my gparents & Sarah. Hopefully sometime with Jeff.
5. Watched a meteor shower- coolest thing ever!

6. Given more than you can afford to charity
7. Been to Disneyland
8. Climbed a mountain- ha! I swore I'd never climb R mountain when I went to BYU-I. I said it outloud multiple times. I climbed it twice. Once barefoot. Don't ask. Stupidest thing I've ever done.

9. Held a praying mantis- no but I've held a live crab and I screamed the whole time!
10. Sang a solo- you do NOT want me to do this. I did sing a duet in 6th grade. Only cuz my friend wanted me to. I don't think anyone I know has it on tape- even if they did I don't think I'd want to watch. It would probably be painful. I have a HUGE fear of singing in front of people.
11. Bungee jumped
12. Visited Paris
13. Watched a lightning storm at sea- This was actually one of the scarier "adventures" that my family had :)

19. Seen the Mona Lisa in France
20. Slept overnight on a train
21. Had a pillow fight
22. Hitch hiked
23. Taken a sick day when you're not ill- it wouldn't be worth it for me. I'd feel guilty all day.

25. Held a lamb
27. Run a Marathon

37. Had enough money to be truly satisfied
38. Seen the Leaning Tower of Pisa in person

56. Visited the Great Wall of China
57. Started a business- does an etsy store count?
58. Taken a martial arts class

61. Sold Girl Scout Cookies- my next door neighbor used to let me go with her every year. We had a red wagon and everything.
62. Gone whale watching- I've gone probably 4 times. (Long beach, San Diego, Hawaii, Mexico...) Saw ZERO animals and puked the whole time. Every time. It was aweful! I will probably never try again!
63. Got flowers for no reason
64. Donated blood, platelets or plasma: No- I hate needles. But Jeff donated plasma weekly in Rexburg for our date money!!

65. Gone sky diving- no thanks.
66. Visited a Nazi concentration camp
67. Bounced a check: only once and it'll never happen again- I bought a stupid white sweater & used the wrong checking account, had to pay a ton of bank fees and I will never hear the end of it! :)

69. Saved a favorite childhood toy- my mom has boxes of Barbies and Playmobil in her garage.

72. Pieced a quilt: twice. One for my mom and one for Jeff. Both in the same month!
73. Stood in Times Square

75. Been fired from a job
76. Seen the Changing of the Guards in London
77. Broken a bone- fractured my wrist when Kt pushed me off the trampoline! and I break my little baby toe over and over every summer!
78. Been on a speeding motorcycle: I don't think we were speeding but I hated it the whole time. Dangerous things make me so nervous.
79. Seen the Grand Canyon in person: We backpacked to Havasupai Falls (12 miles) and back (12 more miles) one spring break. Craziest thing I've ever done. My feet & back hurt for weeks! Check out the link to see how crazy this was: Note the camels and the helicopter landing pad. I would have given ANYTHING to be able to ride a camel/helicopter back up. Please kill me now.

86. Visited the White House: we lived in VA for two summers, but I never went then. I went to D.C. campaigning with a Republican Committe for one week. It was my last chance and I finally got there!
87. Killed and prepared an animal for eating: lovely. Caught fish, Jeff cleaned them, cooked them and we had a feast. It's a little different when you see them alive, watch them die, then eat. Kinda makes my stomach hurt.
