On Tuesday I told you 22 things that I have never done.
Your comments cracked me up.
And I realized many of you do have done illegal drugs. Which seems about right that you like to frequent the blog. I am most hilarious to the non-sober crowd.
Anyway, today I thought I would follow that up with 22 things I HAVE done.
Some I am super proud to put on this list, others not so much. But here they are….
I’ve…
- rolled my car.
- gone on spring break with a group of girlfriends.
- had three long-term relationships (including Cort) who were all Sagittariuses.
- had four pregnancies.
- worked freelance for my local newspaper.
- only ever had jobs in food service or education–they are more similar than you think.
- gotten tattooed.
- done missionary work within the USA.
- smoked cigarettes (and quit smoking…pretty much all in the same year).
- gone on a date out of pity.
- become a member of Century Club (if you don’t know what this is, you were probably more sober than I in college).
- gone through a breakup that was so bad I didn’t think I would see the other side.
- taught students from grades K-post secondary.
- watched almost all my friends from high school move out of state.
- been someone’s ride to and from AA.
- believed in someone no one else believed in.
- survived a mosh pit (ok, more than one).
- been told I was loved and needed and respected and then…dropped. without a word.
- battled postpartum AND antenatal depression.
- fallen in love with a guy who was never on my radar…and then married him.
- questioned theology and religion…but never if there was a God.
- flown across the country all alone even though I didn’t think I could do it (and there may have been tears. and I was 33. what?).
So drugies, readers…you wanna spill your list? Or compare notes? What have you done?
UPDATE: One more to add…I submitted a poem to Every Day Poets and it was accepted! Will keep you posted when you can read it!
