I’m xx and I’ve never … but I have …

25 Oct

I’m xx years old.

Barely.

*coughs*

And, I’ve never …

1.  Been in a flash mob.

2.  Rode on a motor cycle.

3.  Gone to the movies by myself.

4.  Given a hug, unless I wanted to.

5.  Had my wisdom teeth pulled.

6.  Danced on top of a bar — surprising, I know.

7.  Faked an orgasm.

8.  Seen an episode of Jersey Shore, although I can fist pump with the best of them.

9.  For that matter, been in a reality show despite a good friend of mine and I threatening to enter the Amazing Race.

10.  Got a tattoo.

11.  Gone snowboarding.

12.  Been in a hot air balloon

13.  Been to Mardi Gras and flashed my boobs.

14.  Hitchhiked.

15.  Learned how to play a musical instrument unless you count the kazoo I played in the two jazz bands I was in as a kid.

16.  Gone white water rafting.

17.  Gone to grad school.

18.  Sky dived.  Or bungee jumped.

19.  Swam with dolphins.

20.  Had botox.  Although …

21.  Broken a bone.

22.  Been on a cruise.

==========

But, I have …

1.  Had a mammogram — don’t forget to save the ta-ta’s.

2.  Helped out in a soup kitchen.

3.  Been in a dance competition.  Or two.

4.  Shoplifted.  When I was about five years old.

5.  Got lost in London on a 6th form school trip, wound up in a pub drinking the afternoon away and later had to blag my way through the group discussion of the museum I was supposed to have been at.

6.  Learnt to snow ski.  Years ago.

7.  Chatted with a movie star.

8.  Had a spray tan.

9.  Stayed out all night and later went to work and college the next day still a little inebriated.  More than I count.

10.  Kayaked, water skied, jet skied, tubed, knee-boarded and swam in the Gulf of Mexico.

11.  Set a high jump sports record at my secondary school.

12.  Gone skinny dipping.

13.  Peed in the intercostal waters of Tampa bay.

14.  Been kissed in the rain.  And the snow.

15.  Gone camping in an RV.

16.  Gone scuba diving. Sort of. I hated it.

17.  Played in an all women’s soccer league.

18.  Done cartwheels and hand stands on the beach.

19.  Danced in a bird-cage.

20.  Sang in public.

21.  Seen the queen up close and personal.  Twice.  Sort of.

22.  Been truly lucky enough to see so many wonderful places and landmarks here in the States and in Europe.

And, just because I’m a troublemaker, I’ve added one more most important thing I’ve done in my 41 years on this planet and that is …

23.  Given birth to three wonderful boys.

In writing this blog post, I realised that while there are so many things that I’ve never done, there is loads that I have been lucky enough to say I have.  Makes me go all gooey and appreciative of my life thus far.  Let me know if you give it a go and I will pop by your space for a lookie loo.

    Blimey. I was beginning to think you’d led a particularly sheltered life; and then I read the 2nd list. Not bad girl!
