The more I read you, the more I like you. We have a lot in common.
I actually made most of that up. I really love spiders.
Wow! Great list!
There are so many things on your list that I kept thinking I’d put that on my list! But that’d be cheating! LOL! Although I’m not sure that I can come up with 100 things!
Did it take you a long time?
I wrote it a few months ago and the list flowed kind of like my blog. I get one idea in my head and it flows right into another. If you read the list in order, you can kind of get my stream of consciousness. You should totally try it. It’s a great self-awareness exercise!
Great list!!!
I love Thai food too and I can’t believe you don’t like ice cream and I LOVE #93 awesome!!
Me and ice cream have a complicated relationship. I prefer sherbet. But really, give me cakes, cookies, and pies any day!
A lot of these could be on my list, if I was going to do one!
IF? What’s holding you back? I think it’s fun.
There were so many of these that I was like yes yes yes. I have to say though I’ve never had a surprise party either and have always wanted one. Which in the end is funny b/c would it really be a surprise if I knew I was having one? LOL!
My husband had mentioned he was going to do a surprise party for my 40th birthday in November. In the end, I told him I just wanted a quiet and mellow birthday and it was just perfect. Maybe I’m too old now???
That was fun. I’ve always wanted to do one of these lists, I just never have.
And this: “# I miss the old days of skating at the roller skating rink.” Oh, so true. I loved that kind of stuff. SO fun!
OK, I did it. I think I may post in the morning – unless I have the motivation to re-read before bed. š Thanks for the push!
Iām socially liberal and politically conservative.
This is shocking to me. š I would not want to be so transparent to the world. You’re brave!
Oh my gosh you were in NJROTC! I was in at my school also but (don’t laugh) the only reason I joined was because I thought it was Marines and when I found out it was the Airforce I tried my hardest to get out :X
I simply loved reading this. That is all.

Dragonflies scare the CRAP out of me. I should have put that on my list….
