That was a lot of fun to read. Thanks for sharing 101 things... most I knew, but a few I did not. I, too, have to have he toilet paper coming over the top and will change it if it is not :) (Although since you read my recient blog, that doesn't seem to matter anyway, since I am always the one to replace it when it runs out.)
I think we're a lot alike ;)
We don't like you any less for your supposed weaknesses, we love you more because we have them too and it's so nice to know you're not the only one! Thanks for sharing; that was really fun to read.
I totally sympathize with # 52-54 I have always felt bad about not being good at that.
Great list!
Okay, some of those were doubled or tripled up...technically, I don't think you made it to 101 but I'll give it to you cause I'm a nice person.:) hope you have a great Thanksgiving!! I'm happy to report I knew a lot of those things about you! I guess that is what 2 years of practically living together does.
miss you!
I read the whole thing - you are funny! I think I knew most but not all. I hope next time you are going to CA you stop by I would love to see you since I missed the reunion. I would like to say that I am totally organized in our house but I'm not but I do have a guest bed so you and your family can spend the night to break up the trip. And I hate being pregnant too - the only thing good is that you get a cute little baby - you are almost done.
I LOVE that you did this... and how you did it! We have LOTS of things in common!!! And I feel so priviliged to be with you the one time you "kind of" left the country!
what fun! it made me miss you, though. and, you know you are way better then you make yourself sound!
Oh, look - I'm commenting next to Laura - that's kind of fun.
Anyway, that was so much fun to read. I love how you wrote it. You are such a great person.
