I just saw Margie's comment - I was thinking the same thing - except for the riding on the motorcycle part!

I enjoyed your list. Well fitting bra and cowboy boots are my faves.

Elizabeth Halt said...

bras that fit - totally! I finally have two, and I had forgotten what a great feeling it is, LOL.

I like to accomplish things and then write them on a list and cross them off. ;)

very much enjoyed your list

Relyn Lawson said...

Wasn't this wonderful, inspiring fun?

I loved your list. I can't claim to know much about #40. I may have to add that to my To Do list.

Leau said...

Just finished Chuck season one so I know just exactly what you are talking about! Loved the rest of the list as well.
