I was having a great conversation with the lovely Renee of Cutie Booty Cakes, when I mentioned that I had never had a massage.
She was slightly amazed that I hadn't and she convinced me to get me to a masseuse ASAP. I then realized that there are a few things that I've never done that I'll bet many people have.
For example, it was only last year at BlogHer that I had even tried sushi, thanks to Socal Mom.
For no particular reason, at the risk of this turning into that slumber party staple game, here is my list of things I've never done that might make you go, "Really?!":
1. I've never been to Las Vegas or New York.
2. I've never been skiing.
3. I've never driven a boat.
4. I've never been to Disney World, Disneyland or Disney anything.
5. I've never seen Lost or Heroes.
6. I've never read a Harry Potter Book or the Twilight series.
7. Tangent: my kids have never been on an airplane.
8. I've never been to Spain, but I'd really like to go there (sorry).
9. I've never been to a professional basketball game.
10. I've never "met anyone for coffee". (Though people on Twitter have offered to remedy that at BlogHer).
Now, there's 15 seconds of your life you'll never get back, but you can play, too. What have you never done that other people seem to do a lot?

Oh my word... I wish you a massage like nothing else. If I could get one every week I would! Remedy that one above the other 10 items!
With you on Las Vegas, #5, #6, and #8 :-) -Christine
I never had a massage till a few months ago, and now I've had a few--but they are just 15 minutes at my chiropractor to work on my neck and shoulder.
I love this idea, though, and I'm off to post my own!
#6&8 also apply to me.
The massage? Not so much. Confession? Hubby and kids got me a massage for Christmas and I haven't used it yet. Had one, once and, meh, not so much. I must use it though or I might be stoned. In the 'stones thrown at me' sense, not the 'smoking' sense. So I will have to go use it eventually.
OK, seriously? Spend one weekend hanging with me and we could knock out like, half of those.
So you've never been to Spain, but have you been to Oklahoma? (couldn't resist).
I've never read the Twilight books, but made it half-way through a Harry Potter before I got too bored and confused and abandoned it.
Also, I don't like massages. Call me crazy.
Wow...I've done all of your list except Spain.
I've never water skied, given birth to a boy or been to Canada.
1. I've never been to a formal event.
2. I've never been inside a limo.
3. I've never been to Biltmore.
4. I've never owned a little black dress.
5. I've never owned a laptop.
6. I've never been in a hot air balloon.
7. I've never been to Westminster.
8. Bought a fridge that wasn't used.
9. Left the country.
10. Seen dolphins in the ocean.
Also, #1, 6, 7 & 9 on your list.
Sounds like a perfectly remediable list. Go forth and do.
Might want to skip that B-ball game. Not all they're cracked up to be.

Wow, how scary, right? Heh, just got my 15 minutes back, thankyouverymuch!
I meant, 15 SECONDS, not minutes, although it seemed longer, right?

Hmm, so I've done everything on your list with the exception of visiting Spain. I guess the one thing that most people have done that I have yet to do is go skiing. One day I guess I will do it.
Excellent job.
