OK, I realize I am WAYYY late to this party but I've been too busy!! Better late than never, right? 1. I've been to an Olympics (not as an athlete obviously, hah! but for work--2000 in Sydney). 2. My first child was born, from first labor pain to delivery, in less than 3 hours. We barely made it to the hospital in time. 3. When I was a child, I was sitting in a car when it rolled into a lake. Thankfully my dad got me out--but the car was totally trashed. 4. When I was growing up, for one year we didn't have a TV. The old one broke and my parents didn't have money for a new one so we went without. My mom says it was the best year EVER. 5. I waterskiied when I was 2 years old. 6. I ran a full marathon (Grandma's in 2003). 7. I lived in Tokyo for a year. 8. I had braces on my legs when I was a baby--I was born with dislocated hips. 9. I've gone hiking on the Appalachian trail. I've been out at night in a Kyoto establishment where real, bona fide geisha joined our group for part of the night. 10. I have my library card's number memorized from using it so much. I once had an arsonist admit to me, on camera while I was interviewing him, that he started his house on fire.

Nice list! But you need a new 10. I also know my library card number by heart.

Wow, no challenges on the new ones! So what happened to the arsonist?

I let the fire chief on the scene know what happened and we ended up giving them a copy of the video. I had to write down everything that happened in case I got subpoenaed -- the arsonist must have plead guilty because I never had to appear in court or anything, phew!

Your number 3 gave me chills! How scary that must have been for you and your parents!

Thanks, ladies. I've really enjoyed all of your lists, too! Apryll, it was all a blur to me!! One minute I'm in the car, the next my dad is grabbing me and there's water rushing everywhere. I was 5 or 6--my sister on shore saw the car rolling and thankfully yelled loud enough to make my parents turn and see what happened.
