What have you done for me lately?

I got this tag from Janey. Thanks Janey! Keep blogging! And I thought I would let you all know I'm trying a new feature with my blog. That phraseology made it sound cool, but it's really not that interesting. I just decided that all of my blog titles will be lines from songs or movies. Anyone pick up Janet Jackson on this one? So if you know the artist or movie in the future, leave it in a comment so I know you're reading.

I don't expect anyone to be this interested in my life so feel free to pass on reading it. Rules are: Anything you have done has to be in bold. How much have you done?

1. Started your own blog - um, duh

2. Slept under the stars - I think I have, on the trampoline in the backyard growing up, but my admission of this in no way means I like to camp.

3. Played in a band - no musical bones in this body

4. Visited Hawaii

5. Watched a meteor shower - I'm a night owl, this happens at night

6. Given more than you can afford to charity - does 10% tithing plus fast offerings count?

7. Been to Disneyland - is it pathetic that the answer is no on this one?

8. Climbed a mountain - contrary to popular belief I actually did go to girls camp one year

9. Held a Praying Mantis - eww

10. Sang a solo - I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to anyone who attended my sister's mission farewell. She hated me and singing was my punishment, I think.

24. Built a snow fort - the winter I was 9 it snowed so much and the maintenance guys who plowed our driveway piled it all up at the end and my friends and I dug tunnels and stuff in it. It was awesome!

25. Held a lamb - I have kids and we've been to the petting zoo

26. Gone skinny dipping - don't ask, don't tell

28. Ridden in a gondola in Venice

29. Seen a total eclipse

30. Watched a sunrise or sunset - is this a trick question? Unless you live under a rock, you've seen one of these.

67. Bounced a check - it wasn't my fault, I swear!

81. Visited the Vatican

82. Bought a brand new car

83. Walked in Jerusalem

84. Had your picture in the newspaper - front page of the Manti Messenger, not that it's much to brag about

86. Visited the White House - again, DC is AWESOME

87. Killed and prepared an animal for eating - eww

88. Had chickenpox - sidenote story: my mom was taking me to the dr when I had chickenpox (I was 3) and the truck got a flat tire and I didn't have shoes on so mom was carrying me down the freeway. Some really scary guy with a huge nasty beard and a 70's style van with curtains in the back windows pulled over and was insisting we get in his van and my mom was FREAKING OUT. Luckily, a friend of hers drove by and saw us and picked us up. It was totally straight out of a Lifetime movie.

Now I tag Candice (because she thinks she's not cool enough for me to tag her), Joanna (because she hates being tagged and probably won't do it), and Jenn (because it's been too long since she updated her blog.
