#11 - sing karaoke at a bar - DONE!

As outgoing and silly as I am I had never sang karaoke at a bar before. That changed when I mentioned it to my boss! It took a while but eventually we went out to a small country bar for karaoke night. Most of the regulars took one look at me a shrugged, little did they know I can sing country music! Not well, but hey it's just karaoke, right? It was a blast! Everybody had a great time. We sang a wide array of songs for the crowd's listening pleasure including "Landslide", "You Ain't Woman Enough To Take My Man", and even "Baby Got Back". I'm planning on going again really soon! How had I never done this before!

#224 - buy a lottery ticket - DONE!

This one was easy, but still something I feel I needed to do at least once. After deliberating and discussing strategies with a co-worker we decided to go in together on 4 different lottery drawings to increase our chances of winning. And guess what?!? We didn't win anything (shocker, right?). But I did get to check it off my Life List!

#131 & #170 - Have my picture and quote in the newspaper & Be on the front page of a newspaper- DONE!

 This one was a surprise, I just happened to be in the right place on the right day. The zoo I worked at had just built a brand new training platform for their tiger exhibit and I was asked to be photographed for an upcoming article. No big deal, right? Then I was asked to be interviewed with another keeper, again not really a big deal because we give talks about our animals all the time. Come Monday morning I check the local paper and there I am on the front page! I was so proud that I went down to the news station and bought 10 copies to mail out to my family and friends. People on the street even recognized me, for a couple of days that is. I felt like such a celebrity! And as an added bonus I got to check off two Life List challenges in one day!
