Oh My Gracious.
I did it!!!!!!!!!
Words on a computer cannot express emotion….that’s why we use exclamation points!!!!!!
Right?
I am giddy beyond words.
I did something, just now, that I have never done before.
Ever.
And uh, actually, I never, ever, ever in a million years would’ve thought I would do it either.
When I heard of others who have done this, I would think, “Wow, how crazy-brave of you!”
And I am over-the-moon excited.
Dw is in Colorado packing up the last of our things and heading back home tomorrow with the loaded U-Haul. Graham and Liberty are with him.
Soooo, when I decided to do this, I called Dw and asked him if it was okay.
He said, “Do it!”
I then told Emma {since she is the oldest at home}.
She said, “Seriously? Wow. Mom, do it!”
Then I called Graham and talked to him. He said, “Really?” Graham then asked me some questions and after hearing the answers said, “Perfect!”
So I took the plunge.
I did it.
Anyone wanna guess what I did?
Last time I asked you guys something like this I was going to stop coloring my hair.
No regrets on that!
But this is different.
This is huge.
Huge.
Huge.
Really huge.
I’m sure a few of you have done it before. But probably not many.
Anybody wanna guess what I just did?????
I am giggling.
I am just that excited.
You went bungee jumping?! "the plunge!"
or shaved your head?!
gonna go out on a limb here- thinking big- my guess is a tattoo. I don't think you would get one- but that would be huge- so I guess, that is my guess- a tattoo.
oh- and please don't leave us hanging very long 🙂
did you shave your head??its the only thing i can think of..
A tattoo ?????!!!!!,
Bungee jump???? Can't leave us hanging!!! (Pun intended)
amy
Skydiving? Bungie jumping?
Hmmm, bungee jumping?? Sky diving??
Amy
You can't just leave us hanging like that!!! But my guess is….shave your head??
went skydiving? 😉
skydiving!!!!!
Tatoo???:) Ok Linny, don't keep us guessing for too long:)
Bungie jumping
Threw away every drop of make up you own?
I don't often comment…but I'm guessing you pierced your nose? I think you'd look darling with it done. 🙂
Signed up for a half marathon?
Did you pierce something? Maybe your nose?
Let's see…maybe a tatoo? Or if you took the "plunge" maybe skydiving? Ha. No matter what it was, how fun that you are so excited about it! 🙂
You planted some Lantana?
I can totally picture you giggling as you type this post. =)
Running a marathon or some kind of race.
You make me giggle…..
Got a tatoo??
A TATOO? 😉
You're getting a tattoo!!!!!! 🙂
I think you put a contract on a house without the rest of the family having seen it. I think you'd definitely giggle over that.
Hmmm, you have me stumped!! Only thing I can think is — shave your head?? lol
I bet you got a tattoo, didn't you, Miss Linny?!
Ok Linny, you got me.:) As long as you didn't join the ranks of the lady in the buff in the mens' room at the swimming pool I think I'll be able to handle your surprise.:)
You got a nose ring? Tattoo? Or got five minutes of alone time?
Please tell!!
Did you get a tattoo?
Skydiving? Bungee jumping??
You will go parachuting? 🙂
I love how you keep us guessing 🙂
You are just too much!!! You really like to torture us, don't you??? When will we find out?
I'm guessing it's something like bungie jumping or rock climbing or something like that. 🙂
Ok, so I'm thinking it is along the lines of hair coloring… appearance…
something you can do without a ton of preparation…
you have to be brave…
I'd say Botox, but your picture shows no evidence that you need it, and you don't look like you need eyebrow plucking either… but both would require bravery…
Ok, now I'm giggling and I don't even know what you did!
Tattoo????
jumped from a moving plane ????what was it! ?
Tattoo!
Got a tattoo?
Got a tattoo?
Yoiu waxed? You plucked? You pierced your nose? You sat on the couch for the whole day and ate bon bons.
I have no idea, but I can't wait to hear what it is!!!
you got inked didn't you (tattoo) and it's something to do about orphans/adoption??? Don't leave us hanging for too long!!!! ~Trina S.
I'm thinking you got a tattoo?
I think you got a tattoo….
You really have me stumped? Every idea that crosses my mind doesn't meet up to the "crazy, brave, and not too many have done" criteria. Don't string us out too long… please!
Sky dived?
~Kelly
Hm – take a balloon ride? Jump from an airplane? I guess my guess is the first – yes, I have, but its been a while. Hope you had fun!
I'm guessing (and hoping) that you finished your book!! So excited to stop by and see you in just over a week!
Got a tatoo. A fish on your ankle? A Bible verse along the arch of your foot?
You kill me with all your cliff hangers….and I think you like it!! A tattoo?
you got a tattoo
Went sky diving? Zip lining?? Tell us, tell us!
🙂
janet and gang
My first guess is that you turned on the AC. 🙂 Then the only other thing I could think of was sky-diving…
Can't wait to hear what it really is!
You went skinny dipping!!, hahaha!!! I really have no idea and cant wait to hear:D
Lots of love,
jenn H
I'm guessing a TATTOO!!!!! 🙂
you got a tattoo!!!!!!
a tattoo?
A tattoo!
As I was reading this post I just knew you were going to leave us hanging…AGAIN! =p =D
The only thing that comes to mind at the moment is that you went skydiving, but I somehow doubt that is it. =)
Bungee jump? Sky dive? Eat breakfast for dinner? Haha! Can't wait to hear!
Ooh! My guess is you entered your first Ironman triathlon or with your new location you are working on an awesome tan, and since you are obviously working out- you are entering a Hawaiian Tropic Bikini contest. And you would totally rock it!!
You went bungee jumping!
Blessings,
Suzanne
I really dont know. You almost made it sound like you went sky diving or something 😉 although maybe the flowers mean something(like you trimmed a rosebush or something! Just kidding:) that would be quite an adventure for someone like me for sure though;) anyways…guess i will have to wait untiil tommorow(or whenever) to find out!
Oh dear…I have no idea.
Except maybe….you turned in the paperwork to start another adoption!
did you get a tattoo?! 🙂
I have absolutely no idea. Everything I can think of would not quite fit your description. I just want to say that you are very fun and I love your blog and the peeks into your life!
A Tattoo?
shaved your head…got a tattoo…the possibilities are endless:) Excited to hear the news!!
oh wow ..let's see… WHAT have you gone and done?.. hmmm… decided to go back to college?
Surely not strippin' down in the men's locker room.. baahahaha.
Hmmm… I really can't imagine. Can't wait for you to spill the beans!
Got a tattoo 🙂
Did you Skydive???? I have no idea why that kept popping into my head…and yes…I am giggling just thinking about you free falling from a plane! 🙂
Hmmm… Something BIG and crazy-brave… you… ordered some… ummm… chickens? No, they're not big or crazy. Ostriches? No, that's just silly. Ummm… You signed up to be on Jeopardy? Ok, I give up. LOL
Hhmmm! I am stumped but hope it was something really FUN ad you took pictures. After your post about the naked lady in the men's gym I am pretty are it wasn't skinny dipping in the community pool!!! 😮
A tattoo?
Um, you went sky diving? Bungie jumping? Zip lining? Tried Oreo Cakesters? Pierced your nose? WHAT??? 🙂
LINNNNYYYY! I have no guesses. Only complete and utter disappointment that I fell for your cliffhanger blog entry AGAIN! Oh, you….
Btw, I love your hair color, natural. 🙂
And, if you need a really cool, goosebump-making, sing-it-out-loud-because-we-"get it" video, look at this one called "Dynamite Announcement" by christi405. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKoV1HGGe28&feature=my_liked_videos&list=LLlGwaN8ZRkR6DlEe_M6JSog
Can't wait to read about what you did that you would never have thought you'd do ever in a million years.
Skydiving?
Did you get a tatoo?
I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW!!! 😉
I can't wait to see the results of your crazy new experience! 😀
tatoo??!!
Ummm, did you get a tattoo?????
Did you get a tatoo???
I can't think of what it would be, so my silly guess is "bought the latest and greatest gadget you saw on an infomercial". You said it something many of us had probably never done…and that is something I've never done. 🙂
Deana in Burke, VA.
Oh Linny… You just Loveeee to torture us right!?
You rode your Harley to Alaska… No handed!!! WOW…. Hmm no can't be that… Took a camel ride in the desert?… Probably unlikely… Haha… Oh I got it! You learned to rock out a song on the electric guitar! Haha
But really did you sent your book off to a publisher?!?!
Left the house without makeup on? Either that or you went bra-less? I'm with ya on the first one…..
Karen
Tatoo?
Stumped! Totally…lol!
I am guessing that you got a tattoo! Am I right?
You participated in one of those May Day r*llies, no probably not, you don't strike me as the an*rchist type??? 🙂 Ok, lets see……..you got a tatoo!!!
DeAnn
Since you have already done TONS of things most of us have never done, it's hard to guess what would be a far out thing for you….but I'm pretty sure whatever it is, we'll have a lot of fun enjoying it through your eyes!
I'm going to guess taking a hot air balloon ride.
You just sit around all day thinking of ways to torture us~ I mean really! This is NOT an appropriate hobby!!
I can honestly say I don't have a guess, but I am waiting to hear what it is that you have done. I love your blog and it's honesty. It is so refreshing.
Bungee Jumped?!
Skinny dipping! 🙂
You got a tatoo?! Or maybe you went Bungee jumping, or Skydiving? Shaved your head? Enrolled in school? Will write a book?
I am guessing that you went sky diving. 🙂
Tatoo!!!! You got a tatoo!!
you're killing me! I'm waiting for a daughter to come out of surgery and now I'm waiting for something ELSE?! Lol
Got a tattoo?
I say jumping out of a plane or hand gliding but I think you would wait to do it with your family.
BTW, want to mention that your hair color is absolutely beautiful. I am your age but I don't have that much gray yet 🙁 I can't wait to stop coloring mine.
Sky diving???? 🙂
Okay, now I just wanna know! When is the big reveal? Hmmm. Enquiring minds want to know.
Keep up the God work, Linny.
You got a tattoo! Mmmmm maybe not. honestly I have no idea, but I can't wait to hear!!
You got a tattoo?
I wish I could come up with the right answer but I truly have no idea. Everything I come up with sounds too common. Waiting on you… 🙂
I have no idea! What did you do?!?!?!?!?!
Okay…so now we are all in total suspense!!! My guess would be a tattoo or a piercing. =) Please don't keep us waiting too long…we all want to know!
Oh, I love it! You're right you are brave. I don't think I could have done that. Nor would my kids have wanted me to, but your kids are WAY cooler than mine. I wonder if you'll start a trend like when you went all gray? Gotta hand it to you, Linny, you're brave! But here's what I say, "You go girl." I just love what you did! Love it. In fact, I'm inspired. I can't wait to see the other reader's reaction when you let the cat out of the bag.
Love,
Luana
wink!
You went sky diving.
waiting….waiting….waiting….waiting….not patiently!! 🙂
I'm stumped! If Graham had to ask some questions first…geesh, I don't know! Tell us soon. OK?
