I can imagine a dynamite looking blue on blue on blue storm at sea, scrappy
style in your future. :-)
Boring? You? nah...
There are stories lurking under that calm and demure exterior.

I spend a week in a 20 x 25 tent most summers, but it's not a yurt. Close...
Searched for buried treasure?

When my parents remodeled the kitchen I found a handful of plastic
animal figures behind the counter. I'd dropped them down there when I
was little and the counter wasn't finished yet. But I wasn't looking for
them, so I don't think they count.
Worn a piece of fruit on your head?

OK. I have worn a Carmen Miranda-esque hat for a costume. I even danced
in it, does that count?
