In being fascinated with the idea of a life list, I’ve developed a particular curiosity to read other people’s life lists. And I’m always pleasantly surprised to see items on their lists that are also on mine or items on their lists that I’ve already done. It makes me feel a kinship to those people, a sense of accomplishment. So I thought I’d put together this list of things I’ve completed with links to the life lists of the people who also want to do them.

What a cool way to make your life list! Any chance you’ll be at BlogHer next year? We can totally go to the top of the Empire State Building together.
i’ll definitely be at BlogHer next year considering that I’m an employee so it’s not really optional not to go
I’m # 37! What a lovely idea. Thanks for checking out my mighty life list, and giving me a new blog to read
Do tell — where did you go for your chocolate tour? I’m dying to know!
it’s closed now but when i was a kid there was a hershey’s chocolate factory near modesto, ca which was about an hour or so from where i live but close to my cousin’s house so we went there many times.
Number 49 was a HUGE to-do on my life list. I accomplished it in 2008 and got to use it as well.
mine’s expired now so i really need to get it renewed but it helped me do many of the other things on the list. need to get mine renewed and get my fiance to get one for himself so we can do some traveling together.
Great list. I want to do 5,7,9,21,32,62 & 68.
You’ve inspired me to create one of my own asap.
Found you on the NaBloPoMo blogroll.
Happy Posting!
What an awesome idea. Great way to discover new blogs and people. Thank you! I’m #74. I hope to luau in Hawaii this winter — any suggestions? And where did you go, for the coffee plantation visit? I might add that to my list.
we went to kauai a couple months ago and did the luau at kilohana plantation and visited the kauai coffee company plantation while we were on the island too!
I can definitely add the coffee plantation visit! Thanks
We have a lot of the same things in common. I got sidetracked at number 33 though. I have to be the only person on earth that doesn’t like eggs! LOL!
