What a great list. I’ve done a fair few on there – most of the ones that center on the USA I haven’t done. Life is too short I guess.

Tomorrow I’m might try this list.

Something easy.

There are some things I’m pretty sure I won’t be doing that you did. I’m too chicken.

Happy New Year.

What a great list! I took Russian in college – if we ever meet, we’ll have to impress everyone around us with a quick exchange in Russian about playing chess (the only thing I remember).

Happy New Year!

Ha. I almost titled this post, "Number 51 will never happen." But I'd be okay with snorkeling. It's scuba diving that gives me the willies. Number 72, however, I can't quite believe I've never done! I've done enough sewing and have even crocheted quilt patterns before, but I've never made an actual quilt. Oh, and nope, I've never been stung by a bee. My dad and several other members of my extended family are allergic to bees, so I hope I never get stung by one. "...bright copper kettles and warm woollen mittens, brown paper packages tied up with string..."

You’ve NEVER been stung by a bee????? Wow.

So…when you decide to get around to doing #51 & #72, please promise you will call me first! These are ironically two of my very favourite things to do! =)

Great…now I can’t get the “Favourite Things” song from the Sound of Music outta my head…

Yep, I’ve sung many solos, both in voice recitals and at church. I don’t really have the right kind of voice for solos—I sound better if I’m singing with at least one other person, I think—but I don’t mind them.

That said, I have never sung karaoke because (1) I guess I don’t hang out in the right places, because I don’t think I’ve ever been somewhere karaoke was an option, and (2) I don’t like being the center of attention. Singing a solo in church is different because it’s part of a worship service. I don’t mind that so much for some reason. Maybe because people aren’t clapping when I’m done? :-)

Awesome. You and I have done quite a few similar things. Can I say, if you have done a solo you are so ready for Karaoke ;).

I know Russian because it was offered as a foreign language at my high school. I also studied it a little in college. I’m part Lithuanian, and I figured Russian was the closest I’d get to that. :-) I don’t remember everything I used to know, of course, but if I ever went to Russia I would be able to read menus and follow road signs and communicate at a very basic level.
