That's not easy coming up with 100 – love your list and can relate to some of them. (12, 13 15, 97 to name a few) Sorry about your dad – that must be hard.
You have inspired me. I am going to have to do a list for myself. Not sure when I will get to it but I will let you know when it is up.
There were quite a few things on your list that I could relate with, quite a few that made me smile and a few that made me sad (but glad you loved your dad so much that you miss him being gone). I know you probably think that an odd thing to say but not all of us had such a great dad. It is always nice to hear about someone that did.
Peace,
Morgan
Wow! I do not think I could come up with 100…maybe Asha and I will do this together sometime on our blog 🙂 Thanks for the great idea – I loved reading your list!
@Chemicallyinclined. I hope I can be so lucky as to marry a man who enjoys housework 🙂
#31 Is def a reason why I want to move.
#84 & #85, My house is crazy messy too, just do what I did and marry a guy that doesn't mind keeping up on the house 🙂
Just had a chance to read this post and so glad that i did this morning. I also had a chance to watch a friend's short video of her son walking for the first time – so i would say i am having a good morning so far 🙂
i like the idea of 100 things – and i will work on my own to share in the future but here are a couple: i like to write too – and i wish i did it more. you know i love to read and i do admit to being a tv junkie – DVRing shows and watching them later so i can skip thru the commercials. i like the outdoors but hate bugs. i love to swim but feel uncomfortable in a bathing suit. i never understood the way people feel about their pets until i got my own. i really like my co-workers and have made some lasting friendships and i guess i don't hate my job either, but i don't love it.
Hope those facts about me are enough for now! I'm glad i had a chance to check out the blog this morning 🙂 ~bam~
Hi Mommy to the Monsters. Thanks for checking out my blog. I enjoy yours a lot.
Before I post I am afraid that something I wrote may possibley offend or upset someone. Then I say oh well and hit publish anyway 🙂
I really enjoyed reading your 100 things about you. I love GoodFellas too and had some of the best times of my life in college…
I also have both fear and excitement when I post a blog. Sometimes I go back and edit it because I feel I am sharing too much…
I understand how you feel about church.. I actually like to go, but I can't stand all the theatrics….
I so feel you about your house being a mess…I am SOOOOOOOO junky..I'm working on it …lol
I failed drivers ed so don't feel bad about not passing your drivers test..I didn't get my real license until I was 19….I just drove without one…LOL
