I could not resist. + Funny little frog.

Hallo Ihr Lieben,

okay, I have seen this list so many times now and I am sure everybody is really sick of it by now so that means it is time to make mine. Haha. But yeah, I could not resist. I love making lists (okay I did not make this) so it was a lot of fun to work on this one.

1. Started your own blog  - yeah, I guess you can see it.
2. Slept under the stars - when I was a child I loved to sleep in the backyard. Does sleeping in a tent count too?
3. Played in a band  - haha. Well, I really played in a band. I played bass and the name of our band   was "ausverkauft" (sold out). Very clever, right?
4. Visited Hawaii - no, not yet but I would like to.
5. Watched a meteor shower - sounds interesting.
6. Given more than you can afford to charity - I always give money to homeless people with dogs but I have never given more than I own. I guess I am a bad person.

8. Climbed a mountain - I have been on a mountain but I did not climb it. Damn. 
9. Held a praying mantis -  No, actually I have never seen one in reality. How sad. 
10. Sang a solo - trust me. Nobody wants to hear that. I sing in the car when I am alone or when I play Singstar Take That with my friends. That's enough.
11. Bungee jumped - No, thank you. Maybe I would try skydiving but I am not really interested in Bungee Jumping.

13. Watched a lightening storm  - I guess everybody has done that at least once. 
14. Taught yourself an art from scratch  - Hmm, I like to paint and draw so I just say that counts. 
15. Adopted a child - Do animals count? I adopted my bunnies and cats. 
16. Had food poisoning  - Oh yeah, when I was a child I ate some paella and got food poisoning. That was the first sign that told me to stop eating things like that.

20. Slept on an overnight train - No, but I am sure it would be better than sleeping in a plane.
21. Had a pillow fight - Sure, that's what you do when you are a child.
22. Hitch hiked - No, my parents told me not to. But one time my Mom and me stopped for a hitch hiker because we thought we know him. We were wrong but we still gave him a ride.
23. Taken a sick day when you’re not ill The bunnies were sick so I had no other choice.
