I just love this handknitted shawl that I bought at the thrift store.

My youngest son was helpful with this one, too. Fortunately, our yard is full of frogs. He grabbed a frog from the yard (a smallish one so as not to scare me) and brought it to me so I could touch it.

Today I bought my son a bag of potato chips and asked him if I could have just one. That was so tempting for me to ask for more.

29. Eat one potato chip. DONE

26. Dance in public.
34. Sing outside.

I did both of these at the city park today, as they were holding a childrens concert. I have to point out that I went alone, an adult with no kid, to listen to the entertainers. They told the audience to sing along and to do simple movements with the music. Yes, I did it all and thought it was fun. ah… sing outside and dance in public.

Of course, two of my sons will actually be dancing in public this month in real performances. The youngest one will be breakdancing in the city park on Friday, and the oldest will be dancing ballet at Tivoli in Copenhagen in a couple of weeks.

05. Buy a lottery ticket… didn’t win
36. Add a Menthos to a Diet coke… my son thought this was a very tame science experiment
37. Change your Avatar to Roseanne Barr for 2 days.
42. Water a plant in the rain… considering how much it has been raining here, this wasn’t hard. It would have been alot harder in AZ, if I had a long wait for the rain.

I was reading a book (with a rhyming story) aloud to my son on the train. Normally, this would have been awful behavior, but I got lucky and sat in the same section as 4 very loud (and presumably drunk) teenagers. Only one man sitting close to us kept listening and smiling.

06. Buy something with only pennies (or your country’s smallest coin)... This kind of happened by accident, as I was going to pay about $4 for some sheet music in the thrift store (as a present for a friend in the US). I looked in my wallet to find over $14 in coins. So, I paid the $4 in coins. it takes 6- 1 krona coins to make a dollar. Anyway, I laughed when I paid with them, and explained that someone “eyes move toward my son” had filled my wallet with coins. Then the cashier laughed, and my son laughed. We were all laughing, and there was no line waiting as I paid with the coins. Then the cashier offered to let me trade in the rest of my change for a bill, and I did. It wasn’t embarrassing at all, because I made it into a joke. Even my son thought it was funny and laughed.

41. Keep your right blinker on for a minute… Though this felt pretty dangerous when I did it, and I wouldn’t want to do it again here in Sweden.

16. Answer someone’s dirty question… Thanks to Jen for posting a dirty question

08. Eat pizza in front of someone else… I bought myself a vegan pizza and ate it when I got home. My husband was sitting watching me, at which point I reminded him that he didn’t like pizza, which is why I didn’t buy him one.
