Angie’s New Lifetime To-Do List
October 21, 2006So I’m only at 52 things to do before I’m dead. 50, technically, since I believe I’ve already done one of them since first typing this list and the other one can’t be done until after I’m dead. (Please Jon, Mom and Ed, notice this and make it happen, would ya?) The one thing I’ve been able to do is bolded, although I’m still not quite there yet. Soon, says my vanity. Soon.

nice list. love reading people’s lifetime to-do list – have to officially do one myself but it seems kind of daunting. I did try to rent a Ferrari on our honeymoon in Hawaii but the $500/day price tag kind of put me off. Bungee jump is fun! I will do it again. Getting remarried with Elvis — lol. i might have some of yours on my to-do list too!
so what color is your hair now? you should start a blog game ever so often — what color is Angela’s hair?
I say you need to try bright blue with red streaks 
OMG the Taos bungee jump (on the bungee jump website), you jump — 680 ft. with a 320 ft cord! sweet! thanks for the link to the site.
