been there; done that

Lazy blog:

Bold = been there, done that

been in a fist fight
snuck out of your parent's house
had feelings for someone who didn't have them back (sigh)

built a sand castle
gone puddle jumping
jumped in a pile of leaves
gone sledding
cheated while playing a game (just last night. I was playing ‘Life’ with my three year old son. I silently refused to have either of us pay tax.)
been lonely - Like Steve Martin's "The Lonely Guy?" (this is my ‘currently playing’ life-imitates-movie on a replay loop)
fallen asleep at work or school (when I was pregnant I had to take some nasty medication to keep from miscarrying. It made me fall asleep, and since I was married to the boss, slept on his office couch)

watched a sunset (every chance I get)

been robbed (someone broke into my apartment when I was a single gal. I was at home asleep at the time)

had deja vu- didn't you just ask me that?
danced in the moonlight (good stuff. I highly recommend this…works well when paired with sleeping under the stars)
