Glad we have so much in common!

My other site kikay
Great list, and sure, I'm game!!!!
I want to do everything on your to do before you die list.
Your tree looks beautiful, by the way. My Mum would be so happy with that!
I've already done it so I won't bore everyone with it again!
Okay, I will. Probably next post, or soon! I think winning the lottery should be number one on your list- so you could do all the others!
A very ambitious list of things to do before you die! Mine are so very simple...spend some quality time with my husband, family and friends, making memories for me and for them. Your friends list is very similar to mine!
No slinking Maddy! ;)
Your poem was beautiful Joycdan and I don't mind at all if you add me to your blogroll. :)
Oh great Little Wing, I'll be over to check it out. :)
If I win the lotter first Miss U we can do them all together - my treat! Glad you like the tree. x
Okey dokey Flowerpot. x
I look forward to reading yours Buffalo. You're right I need to win the lottery first! :)
I always aim HIGH MOI, I don't always succeed but I give it a fair go. Nice to know our friends are similar. :)
Whoever comments after me is tagged.
I'm with you on every single one of your first eight Akela.
I often say numbers 1, 4 and 8.
I like Karin Slaughter too. A bit gross sometimes but a fab read.
And I love White Christmas, Amy Winehouse and Brown-eyed Girl.
And your friends sound fab. :D
I think we might be twins separated at birth Jo! :)
My wife and I did a 3-week African safari about 10 years ago. Do it! You must!
And you will lose weight, which will cover #2! While you're in Africa, head over to the Gold Coast, covering #3.
Of course #7 may have to occur before any of this. :)
I don't think I know that Winehouse song Valerie...
The Gold Coast, Australia... is that the coast from Brisbane up to Cairns? That's the bit where I'd like to LIVE when I finally do get to Australia...
Egypt: yeah!
I'd love to go diving in the Red Sea as well!
Crikey, how are you?
Go on, open another bottle of wine!
Sh*t!
Ooops
I can’t remember a thing.
I love you...
looks like a fun meme! i enjoyed reading your answers, too. 'made me know more about you. :)
Love your list - damn I'm not the first 8!! ;-) Remind me to try a hand at this next year, Akela.
Good thing I'm not in the 1st eight leaving comments today. My “to-do” list is way too long as is! Seems like this is the day when I need to send you the 2nd Christmas Carol Quiz answers (unless I'm late already) and methinks I only have 7 of the 10 figured out. Is 70% good enough? (she asked pleadingly) Somehow this quiz seems harder than the 1st ... but then I have been distracted with the holidays and all. Sigh ... there's just too much to do! LOL
Hugs and blessings,
If #7 on my 'to do' list happens I'll go to Africa tomorrow Dan!
I think 'Valerie' is Amy's latest Gleds. Yeah that Gold Coast - where the Great Barrier Reef is - I'd love to scuba dive there!
You're a card Cream LOL
I'm pleased you enjoyed it Acey :)
Hey if you want to have a go Bella you go right ahead! :)
You're in time (got your answers) Storyteller, no probs.
Wow Akela, that was really interesting.....you actually learn quite a bit about a person in these quizs. This one was very informative. I hope you get your chance to travel the world.......after you win that lottery.....:):)
Happy you enjoyed it Nea. I hope I win the lottery too! :)
loved reading that....i love "brown eyed girl" and how is the sharon osbourne biog?
