In my 40.5 years I have...
1. Set foot in Tangier, Morocco.
 |
3. Caught an eel. By mistake. While deep sea fishing. Sea sickness is wretched and horrid. Never again!
4. Worn big hair, big glasses and big earrings. At the same time.
5. Flown over The Grand Canyon in a helicopter.
6. Spent the night in a refrigerator box.
7. Seen Steel Magnolias and Sleepless in Seattle so many times that I can and frequently do quote all the characters word for word.
8. Been to the British Virgin Islands.
9. Flown first class. But not on my dollar.
10. Broken my right clavicle bone.
11. Been to Spain.
12. Eaten dinner outside at Times Square.
13. Swam with stingrays in Grand Cayman. Twice.
14. Fed a giraffe.
15. Worked for a large corporation.
16. Been self-employed.
17. Been a stay home mom.
18. Baited my own hook with a worm and camped out on a riverbank. I'm not a total girly girl.
19. Held a snake. Briefly. Very briefly.
20. Worn hammer pants. And not as a joke either.
21. Seen the tailless monkeys atop the Rock of Gibraltar.
22. Known much Love and Laughter.
Wow! I was blown away by all the pics, but I think I love the last one the most.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, there's just no hiding the joy. :)

ReplyDeleteI love #22 and the picture that goes with it! Great list!
ReplyDeleteLove this post - so many memorable times in your life (lose the snake though...that would definitely be on my own list of things to Never Do!)
ReplyDeleteWhen we go from day to day, we often forget about all the times that took our breath away - just like that famous quote. Thank you for the reminders!
You have been so blessed to travel to so many neat places. You're one lucky gal!
ReplyDeleteI have been to Morocco and Spain too. I was in Casablanca and Fez in Morocco.
ReplyDeleteLOL about the hammer pants, and the hair, because we all did it, right? Great list. Some really fun memories to look back on. And thanks for dropping by my blog too! ;-)
ReplyDeleteHoly Christmas, you've been to lots of places. I love your list, and have the round glasses with big hair. They were fake glasses!

ReplyDeleteVery Nice!!
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful list! I have eaten sea eel sushi often, actually and like it a lot :)
ReplyDeletethe pictures were awesome. I think you are so brave to hold the snake - don't think I could do it. Isn't first class awesome when you don't pay for it?
ReplyDeleteAlso - my BROTHER says, "Are you HIGH Clairee?" QUITE often. We both have seen those movies a ton. and no, my brother is not gay - just a fan of good movies. ;)
