Yeah! I'm so glad you posted this. :) So glad, in fact, that I am going to make my first comment ever on a blog. I'm just using the account that we set up to show our soaps. Anyway, it was fun to read your list of 100. (I have one too, but I think I will keep it for my own personal journal for now.) I especially liked #98. I'm glad you enjoy the newsletter. :) I am so happy that everyone is willing to contribute to it each month. Well, I need to get back to working on my thesis.
-Your little bro
So fun to read your 100 list - not too many surprises! Already looking forward to this years #97. Love ya!
I loved reading your list! I learned a lot of things about you! You forgot to tell people that you were a nanny for the most adorable little girls in the world! haha... alright love you!
I guess I'm predictable (or is that boring?)... There are a few things that I could have added that aren't predictable...but I'm not sure that mom and dad (g'ma and g'pa) want to know those things:P (jk) (or am I:o...)
PS I did nanny- and those girls are adorable, and not too disturbed or damaged from my care!?...)
So fun to read! I was surprised by a few! I love that Hot Tamales give you energy:)
Darin won't let me post his 100 so if you want to read it you'll have to have him email it to you.
Well, I'm not sure if Hot Tamales really help me think, but I like to think they help me think... I also had an incident with sour straws in college once. I craved them so bad I was practically crying. I had to bolt to the bookstore to get some. It was awful.
And tell that mellow fellow of a husband of yours that he doesn't have any say if you post a 100 list:P (and then email it to me:)
Fun list Shauna...I like your new blog look too!
Happy, happy easter...have fun with family!
Thanks for posting the fun list. We should have discussed it more while you were here. (Especially those things you DIDN'T post!) We will have to discuss those some day!
What's not on the list- stays off the list! :)
