Lifted this from Mama Hen over at Long days, Short years (love that expression) because it looked like fun and, more importantly, required very little effort. And I’m all about the minimal effort right now. If you like it, please feel free to copy it at your own place and let me know so I can come and compare my own eventful (*cough*) life with yours!

I played. Thanks for the distraction…
I took my turn! Thanks for sharing
Needed something to get me back. Thank you for making it easy!
I am SO doing this! Thanks!
I played two weeks ago, what a coincidence. I didn’t like the question that you marked out, either.
I did feel that it was a very USA-oriented list. Some things are hard to accomplish when you live in Europe. But who cares, lists are always fun.
Thank you so much Mamacita! That is now two posts this week I can thank you for! I loved finding out these little tid bits about you!!
Ha – I did the same thing on my blog about a week ago and ALSO hated the money question – it seemed that I would “look bad” if I didn’t highlight it, yet as a Christian trying to live responsibly with my finances, it’s just not something I would do. Enjoyed your answers!
Thank you for visiting my blog! Yours has been so encouraging to me in this mommy homeschooling journey.
O that is a fun list to see what everyone had done and hasnt done! Thanks for sharing!
I played! It was pretty fun – esp on a day that I really don’t want to do anything!
What a boring life I’ve led!
I did it, but it won’t post until tomorrow. I’d already posted twice this morning, that seemed enough.
I did it too.
I’m doin’ this today.
This was fun, although I made a couple of minor tweaks to the list…
You really should get out and play in the mud. I can’t believe that you haven’t played in the mud.
Okay, I’m in. Didn’t like the question on donations either. And I took the liberty to change a few – added Pearl Harbor and removed one of the many Europe questions. And I am Canadian – so I added ice skating. Just because..it is my blog and I can do what I want. hehe
I am working on this…smile…
Oooh, love this! Totally mooching it off you. I’ll let you know when I do.
Would you be interested in giving away a copy of my new book, Expecting, on your blog? You don’t have to promise to say nice things about it, just your gut-honest feelings. My publisher is asking for my fave bloggers to review it.
You could do it on a random awful February Tuesday.
Marla, that sounds very cool…
You’ve traveled a LOT more than I have! One of our goals as a family is to be able to start saving to travel farther than Oregon – a 22hr drive.
Oh – and I posted one.
Fun!

http://shepherdsgrace.wordpress.com/2009/01/08/tagim-it/

I liked that for the same reasons you did (it looked fun and it didn’t take much effort)
So I’ve done it too.
I did it too! Thanks, that was fun!!!
What fun! Thanks.
Sounded kike fun, I played. Check it out!
Fun list! And LONG!
I did it too – come check it out. If you scroll down, Joanna did it too. Our blog give you a two-for-one reading experience!
I’m about to rip this off – I’ve been stymied, blocked and in need of a mental high colonic for a blog post this week – thank you very kindly ma’am!
Hi. I just posted this too.
I like the way you took out the ‘money to charity’ item. I should have done this too.
I forgot to say I played, too. I linked above.
I’ll play!
I played and posted on my blog. alysainchicago.blogspot.com. Thanks for the inspiration.
