Lizzie’s Wild Ride

I know it’s totally cliche but as I’m watching this show on Mtv called the Buried Life based on the book 1,000 Things to do Before you die, so I feel compelled to list what I’ve accomplished so far. You know, to feel better about myself!

1. Attended a Björk concert in a foreign country *Paris June 2003*

Every show I’ve been to my camera has failed me, that blue dot is Björk!
My BFF Aimee and me right before the show * so far I’ve seen Björk live 5 times*

2. Been on television *I won the Showcase Showdown on the Price is Right 1997 and a game show called Cram 2002*

Dude, I know…my hair and fake nails are MEGA EMBARRASSING!! It was the 90’s…right?
I won a trip to Venice, Italy *my husband and mine first vacation together*

Luckily no birds pooped on me
