In the know

( ) Gone on a blind date
(x) Skipped school - even once when in high school, my now Hubby & I left for lunch one day right as we started dating. He had helped me carry something out to my car and we decided to jump in and leave on a whim! It was exhilarating, but we felt so paranoid and guilty the whole time, I'm not sure we enjoyed the food. Walking back into the school, I think I expect alarms or sirens to go off announcing the hookies were back! And, I know I convinced my mom a time or two that I was sick and needed to stay home, so. . .
(x) Watched someone die - I know it's morbid, but I left it on the list because I have, which I'm sure requires an explanation. Standing in the hospital room as the last breaths are drawn. Very powerful, deeply disturbing, overwhelmingly emotional and strangely peaceful at the same time.
( ) Been to Canada
( ) Been to Mexico
(x) Been on a plane
( ) Jumped out of a plane - um, no thank you. Maybe for a Mill on The Amazing Race.
(x) Been on a Helicopter - I'm fairly certain there was a time when I was little, but I don't remember it. It's something I would really like to do.
(x) Gotten lost
(x) Been to the opposite side of the country
(x) Been to Washington , DC
(x) Swam in the ocean - both the Atlantic and Pacific!
(x) Been stung by a jellyfish - No fun! I was kind of surprised we had 2 no's from the first 2 barmaids, for some reason.
(x) Cried yourself to sleep - too many times to count.
(x) Played flashlight tag
(x) Recently colored with crayons
( x) Sang Karaoke
( x) Gone Water Skiing - I'm with Tempe on this one. . I haven't really been successful at it, but I've tried several times. Including once when I was little and the skis were tied together to try to help me. .I fell forward and came up and turned around and got smacked in the head by them. I was done trying for a few years after that.
(x) Made prank phone calls
( x) Laughed until some kind of beverage came out of your nose
(x ) Caught a snowflake on your tongue
(x ) Danced in the rain
( ) Written a letter to Santa Claus - I don't recall doing it, but possibly when I was little?
(x) Gotten kissed under the mistletoe
( x) Watched the sunrise with someone you care about
( x) Blown bubbles
( x) Gone ice-skating
( x ) Gone Snow Skiing - it would be classified more as ice "butting" down the mountain, not so much actual skiing involved.
(x) Gone camping - including when 6 months pregnant once. . with a 2 mile hike into the camp site. My siblings & I had an annual trip going for a while. . we are overdue for another one. Pen - maybe we can meet up, we usually go to NC. .not real far into NC mind you, but still. . .
(x) Had major surgeries - um, 2 c-sections?! And wisdom teeth removed, do those count? And clipped the frenula under my tongue in the 5th grade. It seemed major enough to me at the time.
(x) Gone skinny dipping outdoors
( ) Gone to the movies in the past month - not even sure it's been the past year!
(x) Gone to a drive-in movie - very fun!
(x) Paid for a meal with coins only?
(x) Gone Roller Skating - every time I hear Salt n' Pepper's "Push It" I think of the roller skating rink.
(x) Done something you told yourself you wouldn't, when alcohol wasn't a factor?
( ) Been on TV? - possibly? When I was May Day Queen of my school in Savannah in 1st grade? Made a blip of the news? Could totally be making that up, just so I could throw in that tidbit and feel special.
(x) Eaten cookies for dinner?
( ) Stole a traffic sign
( ) Been in a car accident -- thankfully, no!!!
