My cousin, Lisa posted this list today and I thought it was interesting. Probably only because I can say, "Hey! I did that!." Anyway, I totally copied her post and just made my own changes, sorry Lisa!
Here's a list of some things one might have done in his or her lifetime: the ones I've done are highlighted and I put little parenthetical notes beside some of them. It's kind of long but it's interesting--and we all know it's fun to learn new things about each other! If you decide to post this on your blog, leave a comment with a link to it!
