That was really fun to read! Thanks for sharing with all of us blogging addicts.
Gosh we have so much in common it is kinda scary! Thanks for sharing! BTW I have checked out your Etsy!
Hey Cheryl,
This is your old Glenwood roommate again. I had to laugh at #92, because it's what I'm doing right now! My hub is doing a night shift, and I can't sleep when he's not here. Guess I'd better turn in anyway, since my daughter will be up in the morning regardless of what time I get to bed!
those are awesome! love the cabbage patch kids hair thing...i too can't sleep when eric is gone I stay up way to late watching discovery health and dream about going to nursing school...
did i ever tell you i am glad you started a blog and i have so much fun getting reaquanted with you...think i spelled that wrong.
wouldnt we all like to be like lynell...brilliant and talented and able to go right back down to teeny-ness within seconds of giving birth. :)
some of those were hilarious...i had no idea you 'waited' for a missionary, i need to hear that story.
and i hate spiders too!
That was fun to read. I am so glad you documented the toe thing. I would hate to have missed out on seeing that. The toe was going to be my favorite but it felt wrong when I saw the flower temple. That is beautiful. I can't wait to see what 100 things you add at 200.
That was so fun. As I read it, I did a lot of "Oh yeah, she does like that" or "I remember that". Very cool stuff. Girl, I just miss you tons! :)
Too cute!!
100 things has to be hard to think of...I can barely do 5.
Wow what a list, I would have given up at about ten!! Congrats!
Fun to read! I can't believe you never hiked Y mountain! I also want to go white water rafting again.
A great read and what a great job you did getting that many posts..
Enjoyed all the pictures too..
Wow! That was really fun to read- thanks for sharing!
So many fun things to read about you! You should never feel intimidated by classy people. You, yourself, are classy, talented, adorable, and so kind!
Ok, the whole wacked out toe thing makes me cringe! I agree, you should go back and get a nursing degree. You can totally do it!! You would be a wonderful nurse. My friend just did it and she is in her late 30s. You still have time. :) I personally can't handle broken skin or bones...stitches-ugh!
That's only 99. #51 does not count. And, Dr. Pepper is the greatest drink ever with the possible exception of chocolate milk.
Cheryl,
I have this vague memory of you wearing tape on your toes - and - the leather sandals with two straps and the city of joseph. I didn't realize you tore a ligament!
So fun to read!
We should have a chicago city of joseph reunion. what do you think?
I loved the whole post. But the toe...yikes, I forgot about that until I saw it. It made me laugh and cringe all at the same time. :)
