Have/Have Not

Did you ever play that game with the Sweet 'n Low packets at a restaurant? It was one of my favorites while in high school and college. Anytime a group of us went out to eat we'd evenly split the packets and take turns asking questions.

"I have gone skydiving. Have you?"

For everyone that had, they threw a sugar packet into the center. The first person out of packets won the game.

Why am I telling you this?

Ummmm.....

Oh yes!

I've been tagged by my amazing friend and fellow Angel, Renee to play the virtual game of Have/Have not. In hers she bolded the things that she had done with no explanations. I'm just too much of a loud mouth to not explain at least a few of them! I'll be putting asterisks next to the things I've done.
