I am enjoying the "Top Ten Things I've Done That You Probably Haven't" lists that are popping up everywhere. Did you know that Short North Mama proposed to her husband and promptly threw up? Or how about Mrs. Figby milking that alpaca?
I have been contemplating my own list. Now if we were going to write a list about K., we could dash it off in about 5 minutes. Have you ever had a motorhome as your primary residence for 2 years? Ridden in an acrobatic airplane without a parachute? Had a successful lawn business and equipment valued at $15,000 when you were 16? So you see if this were K.'s blog we could write the list, but the blog wouldn't have any other entries because for K. writing is physically painful. (At least that's his excuse for never leaving comments on my blog.)
Anyway, it's not K.'s blog, it's mine. And all my ruminations have resulted in my realization that apart from a very cool trip to Bangladesh and a few little things, my life is not interesting. I really haven't done 10 things that you haven't done. My list is something like:
Sad, very sad. At least I live with someone who has a stash of funny stories. So if you ever come to our house, it won't be all that boring, I promise. I'll be the one sitting in the corner wearing the salwar kameez and looking mysterious.

The only thing I could come up with for my list was "Sat in the audience of a game show in Lima Peru." Looking forward to Cool Things I Might Get to Do, I'm almost tempted to say "No Thanks" when offered the famous adoption Barbie at the White Swan Hotel in Guangzhou. Because that's never been done. (And it would be really hard to say no, now wouldn't it?)

Posted by: Amber at March 1, 2005 8:13 PMOh, wow, your wedding sounded cool. We did the church thing (Yawn).
Can you email me your address (yes, again) so I can mail that to you?
