100 Things

This one is so quick, I could do it in spurts and it comes from two really good blog buddies: eProf2 and Carol of A Letter To Me.

To participate, just copy and paste the list in your own blog, and color all of the things YOU have done (mine are in red, but you can use any color you want). Things you haven't done will be in black.

Once I'm feeling better, I might do some commentary on them as it is a rather eclectic list. Also might come up with some things that were rather unusual that aren't on the list to share.

Have fun and if you have your own blog you might want to post your results there for the rest of us to see.

Thanks for this Jamie! I've posted my contribution over on my Zen Mischief weblog.

This is an amazing list. It would take me days to come up with 100 things. I've seen the Mona Lisa too - to me it was a letdown.

And I was at the White House at age 8, hardly remember it.

I've done a few other things you've done, LOL.

Hope your back is getting better each day.

You've ridden an elephant??? I'm so jealous. You will have to expound on the "famous" person you met. I hope your back gets better soon.
