TMI

I stole this from Kaytabug, and it's a good thing she had it, because my brain is in sleep mode, with no improvement in sight. Today is my first of a five out of six day work run, and even though only a couple of them are twelve hour shifts, I'm tired just thinking about it. Yikes!

Wow that is one cool list? Where did you get that from?

Thanks for taking the time to do all that - it's great to learn more about you.

You rafted the Colorado ? (Any river?) Wow.

Anonymous said...

Loving this list!! Very cool. So glad you took the time to do this. It was really fun to read.
Now get some rest!
Sweet dreams.
XOXOX

Rudee said...

Looks like you've been busy at more than just work. I think you should have taken credit for saved a life more than once though. It's probably countless times at this point.

ped crossing said...

I may just have to borrow that. Very cool. I liked the commentary, it was illuminating.

-Ann said...

Great list. Although I'm a bit bummed that Visit Ireland wasn't in blue. :)

Flowerpot said...

lordy that's one long list - no wonder you're tired!!

softinthehead said...

WOW Loved the list (and the info)- will definitely have to do that - one day!!

the rotten correspondent said...

crazy cath - it came from kaytabug, and she seems very willing to share!

eileen - I'm awake and rarin' to go!

rudee - you kind of lose count after a while, don't you?

ped crossing - go for it! I borrowed it because I thought it looked like fun.

ann - none of the travel ones are in blue because I (unfortunately) don't see any travel in my immediate future. But Ireland has always been at the top of my list. Always. I spent a month in England once and could never get the friend I was with to go to Ireland. I would love that one back. I'd go alone and love it.

flowerpot - very easy post. Brought to you by cut and paste. All I had to do was highlight what I'd done. (Of course I talk too much and had to put in comments, too!)

SITH - I'd love to read it. Let me know when you do.

Kaytabug said...

Cool! This is fun to read and it was easy to do!! Loved your commentary...I wanted to comment on mine but for some unknown reason didn't. I talk too much too!

Beth said...

I am so jealous. You have a life.

This is just a wonderful list. I think I'll make one of my own to put on the bulletin board, so that whenever I'm bored or in a bad mood, I can look at it and feel better.

Another inspirational gem, RC.

Maggie May said...

Quite a list you got there!
Bet it took time, but we learned more about you.
Lovely to be able to say you saved someone's life!

Corey~living and loving said...

interesting list. So many on there that I wouldn't even want to do....but alas...so many that I would, but probably won't. sigh.

Jo Beaufoix said...

Great list RC. There is so much I haven't done.
Hope work is ok and you're not too tired sweetie. Yay we got a blog baby. :D

Akelamalu said...

You've sure done a lot on that list! You've held a tarantula? Phew!

merry weather said...

Great list! Life would never be boring with you around :)

kitten said...

I will put mine up Sunday.

Irene said...

RC, I felt so bad about not visiting you for awhile, but I see you have not been here either for a bit, so that's alright then. I assume you are having enough to do with the job and the kids and the dogs and everything else.

Do take care of yourself and be good for goodness sake. Take it easy!

Big hug. xoxox
