On one of my morning blog excursions recently, I came across “Well, Ah Nevah!” at Cozy Reader.  It’s a meme in which you list thirty things you’ve never done.  Although I’m sure there are millions of things I have never done, I’m also sure I can’t come up with thirty.  So, I’ll just start and see how far I get. Here goes:

1.  I’ve NEVER gone sky-diving.  I almost did one time when I went with a friend who wanted to learn to sky-dive.  I went through the several hours of training (for a single jump) with my friend - just as a support - I didn’t plan to sky-dive.  If I had it to do over again, I would have done a tandem sky-dive that same day. My friend did a solo sky-dive that day.

2. I’ve NEVER gone bungee-jumping.  I think I might enjoy that, too.  On second thought - nahhhh.

3. I’ve NEVER been arrested - although when I was a child I tried to shoplift something and the store manager told my  mother.  I was mortified and have gone overboard being honest in stores every since then.

4. I’ve NEVER been fired from a job.

5. I’ve NEVER been injured in a car wreck.  I’ve had several car wrecks, but (knock on wood) no one was ever injured in one of them.

6. I’ve NEVER broken a bone.  I’ve only had stitches once when I was hanging clothes in a closet, and the shelf fell and hit my forehead. Guess there were too many clothes hanging from that shelf.

7. I’ve NEVER been skinny.  I guess maybe I was when I was a little girl - and when I was in high school and college (although at the time I thought I was too heavy). 

8. I’ve NEVER enjoyed having a pet.  To me, they are just a lot of trouble.  (Sorry, pet lovers, that doesn’t mean I’m a bad person.  I am just not a pet person.)

9. I’ve NEVER been a famous author.  However, it is one of my dreams.  I’d love to write children’s books and tour schools reading my books to children - and sell lots of them, too.

10. I’ve NEVER been to Europe.  I’d like to someday - just Italy, Ireland and Scotland and Austria - maybe England.  Those are the only countries outside the USA I have any interest in visiting at this point in my life. 

WHEW!  I think ten is my limit for right now!  That was more difficult than I thought it would be.  I don’t think I would have ever come up with thirty things.  If you decide to try this meme, let me know.  I’d like to read yours, too.
