tattoo??!!?! great list. happy new year! we love you
Thanks, Krista. Well, as soon as I figure out what I want to have on my body for the rest of my life, I will get a tattoo. Maybe for my 75th birthday
Great list, Karen.
I want to meet my favorite author as well: Larry Winget.
I actually currently have two tattoos one on my arm and one on my shoulder. I might put a picture of them both up on my blog some time.
Cool list… Sounds like fun!
Thanks, Eric
You definitely should create your list and go after those things that are on it. Life is too short
Meeting Larry Winget shouldn’t be too difficult. Check out his blog and see if he’s in your neck of the woods at a book signing and then make plans to go see him. It’s worth a try.
Well while surfing the net I found your site and I will start my challenge today
When you decide to go for goal 98 let me know as I live in New Zealand and would love to show you around 
Welcome Karina!
I’ve very glad that you found my site and that you will be starting the Challenges.
I would love to go to New Zealand – one of my dreams. One day….
Karen
What a great list!! I LOVE this challenge – LOVE IT! Your list and John Goddard’s list (which you introduced me to) has really inspired me. Of course I’ve made “things I want to do before I die” lists before, but they weren’t as detailed. For example, I had on my list “visit every continent” but that is just too broad! Thanks – I’m excited to set embark on this challenge!
