Support From Friends

It's been amazing the support that I am receiving from friends since starting this blog and my list. People have literally come out of the woodworks to follow the blog or send me a comment (granted, I am posting new blogs to my Facebook page where 880 of my closest friends can see the link, so perhaps I shouldn't be surprised?), and I am so thankful! In the midst of these messages, I received one particular e-mail that stood out, so much so that I wanted to share it on here. It said the following:

"Hey! I saw your blog. I think it's a very cool thing to do. I also have always wanted to go on a hot air balloon ride. That is one of those things on my bucket list of things to do. I also like your parasailing one, that is also something I am interested in. The pictures look amazing.

As I was reading through your list, I actually noticed some of them I already did myself. Most of the ones I did were some of the worst experiences of my life actually. LOL. Here is my experience, hope your's are wayy better!

I once got an accupunture treatment and wanted to die.

 It hurt so bad the guy almost killed me. I will NEVER do it again. I had a very bad neck strain to the point where I couldn't move my neck and he didn't help one bit. He kept on trying to be my tharapist and make me release the bad "energy" and he ended up making me cry. Then after he was done he sent me to Whole Foods to get these surgar pills. It was all so ridiculous.

It is suprisingly difficult to build a snowman.

You need to gather a lof of snow and you have to pick it up and it can get very heavy. It never comes out perfectly round like you see on TV. And your hands get soo cold you need to take breaks.

Whale watching was also almost the death of me.

 I found out how sea sick I can really get that day. I was in New England and I barely had time to see a whale's tail in the middle of me throwing up non-stop. It was terrible, never again in my life.

I went to St. Augustine and went to the Fountain of Youth when I was in high school.

 It's actually a very nice town, I really like it there, although the water I drank smelled and tasted really bad. It's like sulfur water and smells like rotten eggs. Ick.

I have gone skiing twice in my life.

While I take back fun memories of it, I also remember all the times I fell on my ass and bruised almost every part of my body. I stuck to the bunny slopes the whole time and once knocked down the whole skii lift fence line when I didn't know how to stop and crashed into everyone, that was soo embarrasing.

Anyway cool blog and good luck accomplishing them all. :)"

In order to protect this person's innocence, I will refraining from naming her, but let's just say I certainly hope my experiences go off a little more seamlessly!
